Bavaro Runners - Samana

[lhall85917]

Like so many others here, we are looking for alternatives to the ship's excursions. I've been in contact with Bavaro Runners and have booked their tour #1 for our stop in Samana. I'm posting information below that they've sent to me. They have made adjustments in timing to allow for when the ship is in port and the tours sound very interesting. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had any experience with this company - haven't seen much about them on these boards.

I also see a full day tour with different stops. Did they customize this tour for you?

They didn't really make any changes to the half day tour except for our return time to the ship. Generally they bring you back later than what we needed. We have been assured we will return to the ship at least an hour before we need to be back on board.
