There were 6 of us, my wife and I, our 2 adult daughters, and 2 friends all in Punta Cana to celebrate our daughter’s 30 the birthday.
Our Airbnb host recommended Lise Menard, (the owner of El Tour Caribe), who happened to live in the same complex as the host. After calling Lise the first morning after our arrival, she came over within 15 minutes to speak with 6 of us personally to see what we wanted to do and offered some excursions. Our first excursions was the to the Samana peninsula via reefjet plane; transfer to a mini bus took us to ranch; boarded horses for the trek swim in “Salto El Limón” waterfalls, back to ranch for lunch, bus back down the mountain to board a boat and go to Cayo Levantado Island, have beach time and go back to mainland and airport then fly home. Our second excursion was a snorkel/discovery dive excursion to Saona Island on which Lise led the dive instruction. We enjoyed this tour so much, that we went on a third excursion which included 3 more PADI scuba certification dives (with Lise) for 2 of us and snorkeling for 2 others. Before and after our excursions, Lise answered all our questions via WhatsApp (such as recommended tips for guides and local golf courses) and provide pictures of our upcoming tours, additional recommendations for restaurants. In addition, the driver for our excursions also escorted our daughters & friends to a nightclub. The entire experience exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend Lise and El Tour Caribe for your excursions! In addition to an amazing tour operator and dive instructor, Lise is an author of book series “Remi the Lost Manatee” Children's Book! During our van trip to the dive areas, Lise educated our group on the coral restoration efforts and the educational mission of FUNDEMAR- an organization dedicated to promoting the sustainable use of marine ecosystems and coastal resources in the Dominican Republic. - via
