This half-day eco tour gives you a real-life glimpse into Caribbean culture and the daily traditions of the area. Kick things off with a local drink and get the lowdown on island history from your guide. You'll check out quaint fishing villages, a coconut oil factory, and the bustling market in Higuey near the stunning Altagracia Basilica. Then, find out how coffee, cocoa, and sugar cane are made on a plantation tour.

Danny ,the guide, was very friendly and knowledgeable. Spoke fluent English and German. Driver and hostess didn’t speak to customers except to offer a drink once or twice. Hostess had AirPods in and listened to music the whole time . Stopped at chocolate and coffee factory. Stopped at cigar factory and coconut factory. All were informative but more wanting you to buy the products. Cathedral was beautiful. Were told by guide to tip the driver and hostess as they didn’t earn much.

We were a bit shocked by the colourful bus that turned up. Was a bit concerned it was going to break down but it was actually fun. Guide was really good. Lots of really interesting facts and gave us a great tour. Loved the Chocolate/Coffee farm. Cigar factory felt like it was just an excuse to bring stupid tourists to buy expensive tatt at a market. All of the tourists had to wait for the guide to get back on the bus. Coconut place was more like a shop than anything else not much to see

Our tour was suspended and we didn't recieve any announcment we waited for hall an hour at the Lobby and finallly came out that the touristic lady made a mistake in my Phone number. Still it was suspended few hours before the tour. Now waiting for reimbursement of our payment, no news up today!

There was supposed to be a farmers market stop during this tour and we didn’t stop for that and that was disappointing other than that the guide and tour was great

The trip was cancelled as they did not have enough uptake of customers. However we were not notified of this and waited in reception for our trip for over half an hour. We were then notified it was cancelled. We are yet to receive our refund as we couldn’t rearrange to another day due to our holiday coming to an end
