Sightseeing Outback Safari from Punta Cana: Half-Day

The tour is well planned, educational, fun and beneficial for the local schools and the farms we visited. Refreshments were provided on the bus and we were treated to an excellent meal consisting of local dishes.

We really enjoyed this excursion. We had a group of 14 people (7 kids between ages 12-15). The tour guide Angel and driver Vladimir were absolutely great and made the trip. The kids enjoyed the Cocoa bean process and coffee bean process. The meal was the best meal we had during our entire Punta Cana vacation. Well worth the time and money.

Got a chance to take a view in the Country as a whole. A chance to learn about the culture, history, people and the way of life. They even feed us so good Dominican Fried chicken as tour guide Angel would say. Would definitely recommend this to anyone traveling. And the driver Val was a so nice!

This is a must for the person who likes to see how people live. Visit a local school the trip raises money for local school children to buy school uniform, if you want to take a box of pencils or crayons give them to your guides. Also visited a local house where we looked at coconut products Coffee roasting, chocolate grinding and cigar rolling together with fruit and vegetables. Lovely lunch followed by a nice swim in a Riverside area. The drink flows all the time happy hour is every ten minutes cracking trip would recommend it

Brilliant day out and worth every penny. Vladimir (our driver) and Leonandro (guide) made the trip even more enjoyable. Their knowledge of their country and how coffee, coconuts, rum, and cigars are processed is just amazing!. To purchase T-shirts knowing that all profits will go to the local primary Schools in the area just made us realize how fortunate we were. To visit families working and living in their homes and making a business from the produce of the land was a wonderful experience to see and be part of. You were able to sample many of the made produce in advance so make sure you carry some money with you. Our guide was so helpful throughout the day, and on the way home we were able to have a little sing-a-long was some classic music being played. This trip was a great day out and you get to experience the culture and meet some of the locals who live there. Whatever you asked for out guide was always on hand and out driver was prompt when he picked you up and dropped us back to out Hotel. You can never fault any of them and they were always willing to help. This is a trip I would advise anyone to visits the county to make sure that they go a long to.

Pack for a purpose is so important . We packed for a purpose and handed to the local school which opened our eyes and our childrens. The children walk miles to school for half a day of learning because the school can't fit more as they are small. The school buses are not used for children but for hotels to bring staff to work.
Many children work to help their families.
Schools do not have budgets like we do and a job is a privilege in Dominican republic with little pay. Schools do not have pencils pens and many books ill add photos. The playground is broken concrete that looks so unsafe minimal equipement for children to play with. Children are fed but we failed to see a working kitchen instead a fire outside where they cook the basic food. Morining children sre given bread and afternoon are given rice.
The lake to swim in was amazing and refeshing.
Each stop you make opens your eyes to how they live of the land . Electricity is expensice many just hook themselves up including local police station.
They have water for 4 hours a week which they pump and save and oftern have hours of power outages a day.
We saw how cigars are rolled how they make coffee and chocolate got to sample it to. See the many ways in which they use everysingle bit of a tree for different things.

Angel was an angel on the trip answered all our questions and explained everything so well and in such good humour to.

This is a must do trip as you see rhe real Dominican republic not just punta cana a place built purely for tourist.
Noone lives their really as its to expensive

Excellent day out. Tour guide Danny and driver Hector excellent hosts. Informative and fun at the same time. Would defo recommend. Well worth the money.👍

Wow. We haven't stopped talking about this day. If you come to this island with the intention of doing one excursion, please do this one.
We were in awe of the culture, history and knowledge from our tour guide Leandro! What a great guy. He was funny, engaging and knew everything about everything.
We loved the cigar making, coffee experience and coconut oil. We only wish we took more dollars to buy more authentic goodies at a great price.

Thank you Leandro for a great day - we will see you soon.

Anyone wanting to see more of the real Dominican then this trip ticks all the boxes. It was a really enjoyable experience and the tour guide eddy was extremely knowledgeable I learnt so much in one short trip. Eddy and Ramon made the trip unforgettable

We did the Dominican safari, this tour was the best part of our trip. We felt safe, entertained, and relaxed the entire time. You learn so much about the country and Dominican culture through the experience. You get to taste and try new things. It's a nice break from laying on the beach or by the pool, you get to leave the resort and see local culture, buy from locals. Our tour guide was so much fun and taught us so much. I highly recommend!

This trip was recommended by a friend, should be sold better by the reps, what an experience it was,massive insight into the process of cocoa, coffee, cigars and lifestyle. beautiful food and well hydrated!!
Angel our guide was so knowledgeable and passionate about the tour and not forgetting Papi

fantastic experience to be done when visiting DR.

We did this tour on our honeymoon recently and it was by far the best tour we did. Leandro was our guide and hector our driver, both excellent, friendly and informative. Highly recommend to anyone looking at this

If you want to learn and see the "real" Dominican Republica outside the resorts. Do this tour!! Very educational and proceeds go towards the school for the children in the DR for uniforms and supplies! Gracias Tio and Leandro!!
We will be back!😘

We were recently in Punta Cana and booked a 1/2 day Outback Adventure. They were punctual with picking us up from our resort hotel. Our guide, Jesus Santos was terrific. He took us everywhere the tour was supposed to go and shared a lot of history and cultural information about life in the Domican Republic. The highlight was our time spent at the Plantation. He showed us all different plants and fruits ranging from mango, coconut, avocado and quenepas. My kids were fascinated with it all. We saw the processing of cacao, tobacco and a typical Dominican house. We past through local villages and a special surprise was running into some local children who we were able to give some pencils we brought as donations. The half-day tour was truly enjoyable from beginning to end. Thank you to Outback and Jesus for the wonderful memories.

Had a fantastic day out on this trip for one of the days on my honeymoon. Had Leandro and Nico and driver and tour guide. And they were amazing from start to finish telling us everthing about the area and the people, they made this day for us!! Especially with the rum and Sprite!!!

Saw how the locals lived, eat and make coffee, cocoa and cigars. Our guide, Alejandro, was very informative and very knowledgeable concerning the country and the history behind it.Excellent excursion.

We wanted to learn more about the country and it's people and this excursion was all that we hoped for and more. We were picked up at our hotel and the experience began. Our tour guide Angel was knowledgeable and patient with all our questions. All the places we visited were very informative and the hosts were very gracious to all of us, The lunch was authentic food, very tasty and plentiful. After lunch the swim in the lazy river was a real treat. Angel and Cesar made it a great trip.

This is a great trip to go on. Very informative and shows you how the Dominicans make use of coconuts and how they make the local coffee. They give you a cool cup to keep your drink cool. They will pour the drinks from the moment you get on till the moment you get off. Juan was our tour guide and was full of fun and jokes. And very informative on the local customs. Good lunch with a great view.

family that currently lives on the land and makes products from the lands irich resources; we were able to purchase them. We had a delicious lunch, and went to a beautiful beach towards the end. There was so much more in between. Bring an extra charger for your phone I took many pics and shoot just as many videos.
Our guide Damario and Freddy were EXCELLENT.
Freddy made sure we had cool beverages to drink throughout the tour. I would recommend this tour.

Had a great tour from our wonderful tour guide Eddy and our driver César! Seen so many wonderful aspects of punta Cana and their ways of life. The bar service was phenomenal drinks are always flowing very attentive! The swim in the lake was out of this world so relaxed and chilled. Would like to say a massive thank you and keep up the great work! Definitely would recommend doing.
