Very good day ! We discover the El Limon Waterfall after a horseback ride in the jungle accompanied by a guide on horseback (paid with tip). Possibility to swim a little. Then head to Bacardi Island where you can also swim. Be careful though, this excursion is quite long (departure at 6:45 a.m. and return to the hotel around 9 p.m. for us).

We took a minibus to the port of Miches, then a boat to Bacardi Island (drinks in the boat) where we had 1h of free time (nothing is included on the island so take the bottles of water offered in the boat). Then we took the boat back to Samana and then a safari bus to the Ranch where we had lunch (it was very good and clean). We then did the horseback ride to the waterfall (each horse is pulled by a local who is only paid with tips) after the ride you have to walk 5/10 min to the waterfall and the road is difficult (slippery stairs, mud, etc.). Then we have some free time at the magnificent waterfall (don't delay too long because afterwards you have to go up all the stairs then take the horses back for the return. Then a short break and we take the opposite route: safari truck / boat / minibus to hotel Great day out to see a different area but strenuous (6am to 9pm) not for everyone!

They told us they would pick us up at 6:30 but at 6 they told us they would come an hour later. The driver was going crazy. When we arrived at the port they put us in another boat next to another excursion. During the journey there is only hot cola rum. Samana is beautiful and the guide that touched us was great. Each horse goes with a guide and it is optional to tip it, in the group it was given between 5 and 10 dollars. We ate at the same ranch where they teach you typical things there and although the food was good, the cleanliness was not their forte, better not to think about it or bring a snack. Bacardi Island is very pretty and quiet but we were only 45 min. We liked the tour usually but it is very tired and I would not recommend it for children.
