Randonnée pédestre - 7 plages & Cueva Duarte

We booked 3 tours with J&L agency - quads, buggies, and the waterfall. The agency is conveniently located at Plaza La Marseillaise (which we loved for delicious breakfasts and coffee). We asked the owner, I guess, 5 or 6 times whether the quad tour is different from the buggy tour (she barely speaks English, so we did it with the help of a translator too) and she convinced us multiple times that these are two completely different tours and routes, and even showed us on the map two quite opposite locations. The quad tour on day 1 was really nice. We loved it! But the next day when we set off on buggies it appeared that the buggy tour was ABSOLUTELY THE SAME! The similar route, similar stops, similar places! No difference! So we ended up having the same tour twice. We got disappointed for wasting our precious time. And also for the owner LYING into our faces. Actually, one thing I wanted to say is many many thanks to the guides Camille and Rafael for making our journey more pleasurable. The guys are real professionals and very nice people! They filled our journeys with positivity and fun and actually saved the day! Thank you, guys!

This was the best experience we had on our trip to Las Galeras. Joel & Ludi Excursions gave us excellent service. Our boat captain, Omar, cooked us delicious food and showed us the best and most beautiful beaches in Samaná. Ludi greeted us at the start of the tour and was very kind to us. I 100% recommend Joel & Ludi Excursions and I highly recommend visiting Las Galeras, Samaná.

Had a great excursion whale watching with Joel and his crew! They have a beautiful craft that is very capable in higher seas. We were blessed with a few breaching whales, a wonderful shore luch and a swim on Fronton beach.Stunning day with a very professional captain.
