Indigenous Eyes Ecological Reserve

Great excursion! Plan for 2-3 hours. PSA: DO NOT PUT ON BUG SPRAY OR SUNSCREEN BEFORE GOING!!! Unless you have ecological bug spray and sunscreen, you will need to wash it off before you are allowed in. The trails were beautiful and easy to traverse in sandals and water shoes, and the lagoons were unlike any we have ever seen before. We are so happy we went. We saw some turtles, geckos and lots of fish. I highly recommend this!

I thought Roma was a lovely tour guide, she made sure to thoroughly explain the animals and she was fun to talk to on the walk to the cenotes. I’ve seen so many good reviews of her from online and was surprised that she’s been working there for eight months. She also took photos of me on my phone for me – She was great. At first I felt like we were speeding through the hawks, honey, and such, but then I realized it’s because it takes time to walk to each cenote and depends on how long your group stays there. We got to do 3 of them for our tour and they were gorgeous!

Los Ojos, the 12 natural lakes in Punta Cana, are truly a hidden gem! The water is so crystal clear that I was able to take these photos with just my iPhone, without any editing. Visiting this place was an unforgettable experience. If you plan to go, the entrance is inside Punta Cana Resort — on the right side at the gatehouse, and the fee is $50. Besides the lakes, they also have a bee farm, unique plants, iguanas, horseback riding, even swimming with horses in the ocean, an oyster farm, and a beautiful white beach nearby with a hotel. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Punta Cana — it’s a true jewel of the Dominican Republic🌿💕

Amazing experience, easy to fond, we went without a guide and it was great to winder alone around this beautiful place. Many animals and breathtaking views

Locally rich, calm paced excursion. We booked via the website and it was about $90 a person. They are time slotted so make sure to buy in advance. It included transport, animal visits, informational aspects, a great guide and two lagoons. It was about 2 hrs with some walking at the pace you set. If you want to experience the country without too complicated of an excursion this is for you. It’s about 20 minutes into Punta Cana, located by a resort. Would be good for kids, and the elderly in my group enjoyed it. The trails are easy to manage.

What an amazing and tranquil place! One thing lets it down and that’s price. It’s so over priced it’s unreal and if I hadn’t driven 90mins to get there I probably would’ve have paid. It’s $90 each to get in and you’re only allowed to swim in one pool (not sure how they’d police that but apparently that’s the rules). Also you need to make a reservation ahead of time. That being said we explained to the reception that we had been trying to book online and the website wasn’t working and they pulled some strings to get us in. So that’s the bad out the way. The place is stunning!!! So much nature to see and soak up!!! The cenotes are like something from a fairytale. Crystal clear waters and in most pools you will see a variety of fish and turtles that you can swim with. It’s natural so goes without saying there will be rocks. We wore swim shoes which were perfect. The pools are deep so if you’re not a confident swimmer you may want to stay near the stairs. If you are visiting Punta Cana a lot of excursions include access to this so do your research and could save yourself some $$.

My husband and I really loved this place. So neat, organized and it seems they really help rescued animals. 💚

Loved spending time here enjoying the different lagoons. A perfect space to relax and enjoy nature
