Going to Samana the end of this week with my husband and 2 1/2 yr old son. We'll be there for 5 days then heading over to visit my mom in Santiago. I have few questions. Is the whale watching excursion safe for two year olds ? Does anyone have suggestions or info for the drive from Puerto Plata to Terrenas ? We will be staying at the alisei. We have been to the DR many times, my parents are Dominican. My husband drives in the DR every time we go there he has no issues with driving there. We were going to use a mini van though, is a 4x4 really necessary ? Thanks in advance for your help. :cheeky::cheeky:
