Punta Cana Wild Safari: 6-Hour Off-Road Adventure & Culture

Although the tour guide and driver were incredible (5+ stars) this tour is not worth it. They basically charge you $95 USD for transportation + a mediocre local lunch. I've been to tours that are a third of the price in Medelline with 3 times more value. Also the car is open so you better be comfortable with the sun and winds for a long run. Also the local market was both dirty, smelly and unsafe. A police officer was following us throughout the entire market.

I had an amazing experience with my tour guide, Robinson. My main goal was to see how locals live and experience the everyday life of ordinary people, rather than the more polished, resort-style areas—and Robinson made that possible. My group was 5 people + tour guide My tour consisted of 1. Horse riding where the locals let us ride on horses and take pictures 2. Visiting the local farmers market 3. Visiting a church where Mr.Robinson told us the history and we got to take a look inside 4. Visiting a family operating a cocoa/vanilla/coffee farm near the mountains 5. Visiting a cigar factory 6. Lunch at a small outdoors local restaurant 7. Visiting a beach Extra: Mr.Robinson let us experience the local sugar cane juice stalls where we could buy some sugar cane drinks The locals were friendly and so was our tour guide. His english was great and his driving skills even greater. He also helped me purchase stuff from the locals I had a great time with Mr.Robinson and our group. Picture is the stuff I was given/bought during my tour. Note: the pink stuff is salt that I bought from the local farmer's market. I was told it's salt, but probably won't be eating it as it may be just sodium nitrate??? But it looked cool

Most importantly, it is mis-advertised. It is NOT a half day excursion. We were picked up at 7:00 am and returned at 5:00 PM. This is a full day. There is no way it could've been done in half a day with all the stops they make. Franklin was an amazing guide and a wealth of information! It was very interesting and I recommend the experience IF you are fine being away from your resort for a full day. Being our 14th time in Punta Cana, we were not looking for a full day away. The rest of the customers with us felt the same way.

Francisco is the tour guide in the whole Punta Cana. Beautiful country side. Interesting local market. Horse ride was very good experience.
