Top-rated Las Terrenas Attractions, Landmarks & More

My friend and I last minute booked this tour excursion. I was a little nervous about pick up because it was so last minute, and I couldn’t find our address. So, I was able to find the number of Cafe Tours on their Instagram and contact them directly. They responded within minutes and confirmed pick up and location, etc. They picked us up on time and in a private car. We were dropped off right at the marina. The tour guide was very nice and funny. The tour guide communicated well about times and where to go. His name was Ramon. The experience was great. They had us go to two different caves and just beautiful views and we drove through the mangroves. Later, we went to the island for a lovely buffet lunch. Got some swim time and beach time. And they were very punctual as well, so we got back to the marina and our taxi was waiting for us to immediately drive us back to our hotel. We felt we got a great experience for the price.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Action Tours is an absolute hidden gem!From the moment they picked us up right in front of our hotel, I knew we were in for a great day. The transportation to the buggies was comfortable, and once we arrived, we were welcomed by an incredible team that made everyone feel like family.The buggy adventure was hands down one of the best excursions I’ve ever done! We rode through dirt roads, rocky trails, steep hills, and beautiful countryside before reaching some of the most breathtaking beaches I’ve ever seen. The beach vendors were friendly, never pushy, and their prices were clearly displayed, which made the experience even more enjoyable.One of my favorite stops was the river. The water was ice cold and unbelievably refreshing after the ride. It was also awesome to see so many friendly locals spending the day there—it felt authentic and gave us a real glimpse of the Dominican Republic.A special thank you to Johnny, the photographer! He took his time with every group and captured incredible photos that we’ll cherish for years.We also stopped to sample and purchase mamajuana, and once again, everything was transparent with fair pricing and friendly vendors.I’ve been on many excursions throughout the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴, and I can honestly say Action Tours is the best I’ve experienced. They perfectly balance adventure, beautiful scenery, local culture, and outstanding customer service.To finish an already amazing day, we were treated to an authentic Dominican lunch that I’m still thinking about!If you’re visiting Samaná and wondering which excursion to book, don’t hesitate. Book with Action Tours—you won’t regret it. They deserve far more recognition than they currently have!

Super friendly young men at the airport who immediately took my suitcase to the driver. Fast transport to the hotel.

This was the most fun we have had in a long time! The day started a little later than scheduled, but the guides made up for it by extending the tour, and once the adventure began, we completely forgot about the delay. The ATV portion was incredible, taking us along backroads, through local towns, and into beautiful scenery around Las Terrenas. Be prepared for a bumpy ride—you definitely need to be comfortable navigating some rugged roads—but that's part of what made it so much fun and authentic. One of the highlights was the horseback ride to El Limón Waterfall. The waterfall itself was stunning, and the water was so refreshing! We enjoyed learning about cigars and cacao. The lunch was absolutely delicious, with authentic Dominican food that was one of the best meals we had during our stay. We enjoyed visiting a beautiful beach where we had time to relax and swim. The entire day was packed with adventure, culture, great food, and breathtaking scenery. The guides were friendly and made sure everyone had a great time. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Samaná Peninsula and Las Terrenas area. A perfect combination of excitement, sightseeing, and Dominican culture!

Very kind, reliable, and a very good guide! We recommend it 100%.

Such a good vibe! Very helpful and punctual. Would recommend.

Great time in the company of the adorable little monkeys, the guide was very kind and allowed us to spend quality time with them each. My only downside is that he should make smaller groups it was a bit chaotic after a while because not all of them listened to the instructions.

Staff was friendly unlike the other places I have been you are not harassed to buy pictures. And we were allowed to take photos

Leonardo was amazing, always on top of every detail to make you feel great in DR. Very punctual and concerned about the tours we took with him

Be prepared for an adventure, four wheel to horses up to the waterfall, enjoy the water in the falls and horse back to your ATV. Then lunch and ATV to coffee and beaches. It helps if you have a Spanish speaker in the group. Everyone you meet is happy to customize the adventure for you! Great experience, you definitely need to be in moderate shape for the hiking and horse riding. We would do this again!

Really fun experience seeing and swimming the El Limone Waterfalls. The transportation was prompt and very friendly.

We took a Buggy ride in Samaná with Juan and it was just fantastic! The tour is full of stunning landscapes, a lot of adventure and fun moments. Juan was extremely attentive, friendly and professional, ensuring our safety and comfort throughout the ride. I recommend it to everyone who wishes to live an authentic and exciting experience in the region. Without a doubt, one of the best activities of the trip!

Really good ride with Angel, Martin, Yorfi, Johan and Pedro. Astonishing views and incredible jungle, very nice people, I really linked it.

Very fun!! I had wanted to zip line for the longest time and this did not disappoint. Yes it does get hot but just dress in athletic wear and keep your water handy. While you go, the view is beautiful and breeze feels great.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I highly recommend them! They came picked us up, and treated us with with respect and didnt ask for any tips or anything like other tours in the Dominican Republic, usually ever other tour they ask for tips or insist very uncomfortable. But these people were professional, helpful, and very nice. You can tell Joel y Jairo are very educated. I really had a good time with them. They made my last day worth it, and they very concern with your safety. As a veteran I know the difference and these people are good people. The price was good as well. I highly recommend them to all my military, law enforcer and citizen...In 40 years I never seen such a awesome, professional group⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you

We’re incredibly grateful to have had Joel as our tour guide—he truly made our experience unforgettable. Although we were staying outside the designated pickup zone and ride services like Uber weren’t available (making a taxi from Las Terrenas to Samaná quite pricey), the tour company went above and beyond to accommodate us with a hotel pickup.Our journey took us through the stunning landscapes of Samaná, Las Galeras, and El Limón, offering a genuine glimpse into everyday Dominican life. We indulged in a mouthwatering, authentic Dominican lunch before heading to the breathtaking Playa El Rincón, where we relaxed for hours in its calm, crystal-clear, and delightfully warm waters.As a final stop, Joel brought us to the serene Caño Frío river—beautiful and refreshing, though a bit too chilly for a swim! Throughout the day, Joel was warm, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable. He brought a sense of ease and adventure to every moment. Thank you, Joel, for an amazing day we’ll never forget!
