Good to know
Massive day trip: Total travel time exceeds 10 to 12 hours round-trip, moving from an air-conditioned bus to a luxury catamaran, an open-air safari truck, and a horseback trail.
Bring two pairs of shoes: Wear closed-toe sneakers for the rugged, muddy jungle trail, and pack sandals or water shoes for the waterfall pool and Bacardi Island beach.
Wear your swimsuit: Put your swimwear on under your clothes before leaving, as changing areas along the trail and at the ranch are extremely limited.
Pack cash for tips: Each horse is led by a personal local handler who walks on foot beside you; it is customary to tip them around $5–$10 USD.
Jungle essentials: Pack a towel, waterproof bags, high-SPF sunscreen, and strong bug spray to protect against heavy jungle mosquitoes.
Included food and drinks: The tour provides a traditional Dominican buffet lunch at a ranch and unlimited water, soft drinks, and rum while on board the catamaran.
Whale season exception: If you travel between January 18 and March 20, the itinerary changes to include a whale-watching cruise in Samaná Bay, shortening the beach time on Bacardi Island.
Physical restrictions: The excursion is physically demanding and is not suitable for pregnant women, individuals with severe back or heart conditions, or anyone with limited mobility.
