What a FANTASTIC tour. We loved it. Booked the private tour for our wedding anniversary as we wanted to explore the island and oh boy did it live up to our expectations. We were collected from the hotel and met our excellent guides. They were so knowledgeable, friendly and made us feel so truly safe and welcome. First stop Macao beach for a refreshing swim and stunning views. Then headed into the hills. Traffic was great and we easily followed the guide car in our wrangler Jeep. They provided us with a walkie-talkie incase of any concerns- there were none. Then headed to the ranch where we went ziplining. So fun going over the tops of trees and having the place to ourselves. 5 zip lines in total. Owner was a great guy. Then horse back riding through the jungle and crossed a river. Horses were calm and as a nervous rider, I felt completely safe. Then off to next stop. Christian's house where we had a delicious, traditional, freshly prepared lunch. Had a great tour of his small holding, ground coffee beans and cocoa beans. Tried lots of fruit grown there. Loved his house, dogs, family and the overall vibe. Final stop the cigar factory. A hidden oasis where we sampled local rums and hand rolled cigars. As a bonus had a chance to cool down in the lush pool on the property. We would recommend this tour highly. The best tour by far on the island as do many experiences in one tour and the guides were superb. Family forever.

If you do one thing in the Dominican Republic- make it this! The jeep safari was the highlight of our trip to the Dominican Republic. I did a lot of research before booking because I was looking for a unique experience that took us away from touristy areas. I also wanted to pack in as many activities into one tour so that we wouldn’t have to plan multiple excursions. It truly is a private tour experience with no crowds and overcrowded buses. We can’t stop talking about what a great day we had. We started the day at a beautiful beach with amazing views. The photographer with the tour took photos of us on the beach and accompanied us to take photos throughout the day so we didn’t have to worry about having our cameras out while enjoying all of the amazing experiences. Next we were given a keep to drive and we followed our guide through the hills to a small farm. They gave us harnesses and helmets for zip lining. This was our first time going on a zip line and it was a series of 5 lines around the property. Not too scary but perfect for a first timer and would be fine for children. Next we did horseback riding with horses located on the farm. It was about 20 minutes around the property and crossed the river twice. Again, perfect for first timers and people not accustomed to riding horses. We loved the pace and length. Next ,we got back in the jeep to drive to another property. Seeing the small villages, houses and shops along the way gave us a small glimpse at typical life in the D.R. The next property was a farm owned by Christian. Our tour guides educated us about typical plant species found on the island. We got to eat a fresh star fruit, vinegrillo, and pick fresh cinnamon sticks. Next, we had a typical Dominican meal prepared fresh by the women on the farm. The chicken was especially tasty and all was very filling. Then our guides taught us about the process of making coffee and cocoa. We got to taste cocoa beans fresh off the tree- we had no idea they started out in such large pods and were white and slimy. We saw how the coffee and cocoa beans are roasted and then got to grind them. The best part was tasting the finished product. A truly unique and fantastic experience that will stay with us indefinitely. We got to enjoy the coffee and hot chocolate while taking in the amazing views and getting to pet some pigs. The final stop was a cigar factory were we got to roll our own cigars and take them home as a souvenir. There is a shop on site to purchase cigars, coffee, cocoa and other locally made products. I can’t say enough about how excellent our tour guides were and they made sure to answer all of our questions and make sure we got everything we wanted out of the tour. If you come to the D.R. make sure you book a jeep safari with Just safari. You won’t regret it!

Absolute blast. If you are wondering what you should spend one day doing while in the Dominican Republic, this is it. For the price of a professional photography session, you get a 10 hour adventure and professional quality photos included. Our guides were fantastic (Bienvenido picked us up) and really added to the day. Whoever set up the entire day schedule clearly has all the kinks worked out. water and food were always close by. aside from all the activities already included, at the end of the day you end up at Macao Beach. This is a great surfing beach depending on the time, and rentals are available at the beach. Highly recommend this adventure.
