    The staff were great, informative, funny and couldn’t do enough for us. The experience its self was brilliant, it was amazing snorkelling, seeing all of the fish and sea creatures as well as getting to contribute to a coral reef. Lunch was also great, being served to us on our boat and the open bar and rum and coconut drink was a plus.

Punta Cana aftenudflugt i buggy med dominikansk middag

Denne oplevelse har udflugtseventyr stemplet over det hele. Læs blot denne liste. Ture i terrængående buggy eller safaribil, traditionelle Taino-ceremonier og svømning i underjordiske bassiner. Der venter en adrenalinfyldt aften.Juan, en af vores lokale guider, forklarer: "Grotter og cenoter spillede en vigtig rolle i den oprindelige Taino-kultur. Selv om de ser så fristende ud med deres kølige akvamarinblå vand, svømmede Taino-folket aldrig i cenoterne eller brugte vandet, fordi de troede, at de var en port til underverdenen". Desuden nyder du en dominikansk middag og en fri bar efterfulgt af levende musik.For at starte din actionfyldte aften kører vi gennem det dominikanske landskab, suser langs grusveje og ser, hvordan landskabet forvandles fra dag til aften. Guidet af lommelygter fortsætter vi til en svømmetur i en naturlig bassiner i en grotte, en såkaldt cenote, med stemningsfuld belysning. Og hvis du vælger valgmuligheden med safaribilen, kan du også besøge Yara-hulens gruopvækkende dybder.Restaurantens personale er stolte af at lave klassiske dominikanske retter, frisklavede med sæsonens råvarer fra øen. Aftenen rundes af med et traditionelt Taino-danseshow og muligheden for at deltage i en boogie eller nyde den åbne bar under stjernerne.
