Maya Levina year agoFantastic tour guide with such passion and experience! I highly recommend 😊See this review on Google
Júlia García3 months agoOne of the best excursions you can take in the Dominican Republic! Ricardo is a delight and knows every place perfectly. He explains everything with love and enthusiasm and takes you to beaches you'd never find on your own! The 7 Virgin Beaches excursion is absolutely stunning. The route isn't particularly difficult, but it is a long one, though with this guide, the morning flies by! Plus, a truly Dominican meal awaits you at the last beach, and they pick you up by boat. We 100% recommend Ricardo and this excursion; it's truly unlike any other. Here, you learn, get to know the place, and connect with the Dominican Republic!See this review on Google
Sol Paredes5 months agoIf you want a unique experience combining hiking and beach time, you've come to the right place! Ricardo is 100% recommended. He's an excellent person, attentive, kind, and always has great advice. The 7 beaches tour and the cave visit were spectacular. You'll enjoy every single one, and my favorite by far was Caletón Beach. At the end of the day, the food was deliciousSee this review on Google
Description
A day on foot along the wild Atlantic side of Las Galeras, linking seven virgin beaches and coves that no road reaches: Caletón, Playa Escondida, the two Playas Coloradas, Playa de la Vaca, Cueva del Duarte and Playa del Amor. The route covers about 4.6 km of coastal path and cliff track from one beach to the next, with time to swim along the way, and what most people remember is how empty they are.
Traditional Dominican food, drinks and an afternoon snack are included, and Ricardo talks about the old culture of this coast as you walk. He is a Las Galeras hiking guide, known locally as El Senderista de Las Galeras, and he walks the whole route with the group. Numbers are capped at ten people and the day is guided in Spanish.
