NCL Jewel, Sun. Feb. 17/08 Samana, Playa Rincon private tour, Room for 6 people

[lucrob]

My husband and I, daughter and boyfriend plan to book a private tour to Playa Rincon with Casa Dorado in Samana for Feb. 17.

If you read thru the posts in Dominican Republic, Casa Dorado has gotten favourable reviews. Below please see the email Casa Dorado has sent me.

 

"Lucy,

 

Thank you for your interest in Casa Dorado!! Below is the info on our excursions. All prices are based on up to 10 people, not per person.

 

Playa Rincon Excursion - Conde Nast Traveler ranked this beach as one of the world's 10 best. It's so splendid, in fact, that many Dominicans refer to it as the most beautiful on the island. Over three miles long, Playa Rincon is surrounded by coconut palms and almond trees, not to mention a 2,000 foot mountain on one end. The best way to get to this isolated beach is by boat; a ride that is definitely worth it.

Round-trip boat ride from Las Galeras main beach to Playa Rincon is $140 for up to 10 people. There are several small restaurants on Playa Rincon, where you can order a fish, lobster or chicken lunch.

 

Snorkeling at La Playita/Playa Rincon Excursion - Round-trip boat ride to la Playita to snorkel followed by swimming at Playa Rincon. We provide all snorkeling equipment and ice cold water. The price of the trip is $220 for up to 10 people. Lunch can be ordered in La Playita and cooked while you snorkel.

 

We can reserve a taxi that will be waiting for you on the Samana boat Dock and will bring you straight to Las Galeras main beach and return you at your leisure.

The taxi is $70/roundtrip for up to 8 people and $80/roundtrip for 9-10 people. The taxi is a large van/small bus that easily fits 10 passengers.

 

Let me know if you have any questions. Many small parties have been finding other cruise ship passengers to fill the taxi and boat with 10 people. This comes out much more economical.

I hope to get a total of 10 people; I have 4 right now. Please let me know if you're interested in this tour. If we get 10 people, the total cost p/p would be $22 all-in return trip. (That includes the taxi and boat ride to Playa Rincon, return trip).

We now have 6 people confirmed. However it is still up in the air if it will be beach only or beach/snorkel tour. The majority will rule. Room for 4 more still available!

Hi Lucrob,

 

Steve and I would like to be in on this as well. So now I think you are down to only two more. Thanks!

My husband and I would be interested in joining your group.... How do we go about doing this? After reading some of the reviews, we originally planned to stay on the ship. This price sounds great though... Please respond if you still have openings...

We are going to be in the Samana port on July 1, 2008. Any feedback from anyone who actually booked with Casa Dorado for the snorkeling in La playita/beach-Playa Rincon Excursion. We are thinking about doing this. Any feedback would be appreciated. They seem very reputable. Thanks! We will be cruising on Royal Caribbean Grandeur of the Seas.:)

If anyone is still around on this thread, would love to know your opinion of this excursion! Our group is planning on it in a few weeks.
