Overview

This full-day trip from Punta Cana run by Go Services Tours RD packs a lot into 8 hours: transport across to Samana Province, a visit to El Salto del Limon waterfall reached partly on horseback, and time on Cayo Levantado, the island also known as Bacardi Island. A licensed guide travels with the group, and lunch plus drinks are included in the price.

The shape of the day involves several changes of transport. Hotel pickup is included, and from there the itinerary runs through Punta Cana, Samana Province, El Salto del Limon and Cayo Levantado, with all fees and taxes covered. Horses carry riders toward the waterfall. One reviewer described the day as long, with more time in transit than at the sites themselves, so it suits travellers who enjoy the journey as much as the stops.

Groups run large, up to 100 travellers, and the terrain is uneven, which rules out wheelchairs. Alcohol is served only to travellers 18 and over, with non-alcoholic drinks for minors. If you book between mid January and mid March, a whale watching activity is part of the package.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will help you decide whether this tour fits, based on the listing and on what travellers have reported back.

Long travel day. One reviewer reported pickup before dawn and a return in the evening, with several vehicle changes along the way. That reviewer found the day very long, with more time travelling than at the sites, so go in expecting a big chunk of the day spent on transport.
Fitness and terrain. The listing states the tour is not wheelchair accessible due to uneven terrain, and one reviewer counted a long staircase down to the waterfall and back up. Most travellers can participate according to the listing, but reasonable mobility is needed for the steps and the horseback portion.
Big group feel. The tour runs with a maximum of 100 travellers, so expect a large-group experience rather than something intimate.
Food and drinks. Lunch, alcoholic beverages and soda are all included, as are all fees and taxes. Alcohol is limited to travellers 18 and above; younger travellers get non-alcoholic drinks instead. Tips are not included.
Seasonal whale watching. A whale watching activity is included only from mid January to mid March. If whales matter to you, book inside that window; outside it, that activity is not part of the day.

Common issues. The honest friction points are the pace and the travel time. One reviewer said the description differed from the reality, describing far more time in transit than at the sites, with roughly 20 minutes at the waterfall and under an hour and a half on the island beach. The group can be large, up to 100 people, and the terrain and stairs make it unsuitable for wheelchairs or anyone with serious heart or medical conditions, per the listing. Cancellation is strict: anything less than 24 hours before start time means no refund and no changes accepted.
