Top Dominican Republic Day Trips

Our trip to Punta Cana was unforgettable, and the half-day city tour my husband booked through Viator turned out to be the highlight of our vacation! We got to experience so much in just half a day , horseback riding, visiting the stunning basilica and exploring local markets. Our tour guide, Osvaldo, truly made the experience special. He knew all the best spots for photos and made sure we captured beautiful memories every step of the way. One of the most unique parts was learning how cigars are made and make one ourselves such an incredible hands-on experience! And the food… absolutely delicious. Everything we tasted was amazing, and the service was top-notch. As I write this, I’m reliving every moment. Osvaldo treated us like family, and the Dominican Republic welcomed us with such warmth and hospitality. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience

Had an absolute blast with the Choco Latte family. Daniella, Jonathan, Emil and Choco Latte were awesome. Daniella meet us outside of Taino Bay and guide us to our transportation. The bus had AC, was clean and well equipped. They provided water upon arrival. Daniella provided some DR facts during the ride and we listened to some DR music. The hike is about 30-40 min, but you get multiple breaks. Sliding down the waterfalls was exciting and awesome. This was my first time doing an excursion like this. My recommendation. Get some good water shoes with thicker soles, as you will be walking across rocks. It is best if you know how to swim because when you slide down the waterfall you will go underwater. You do have a life vest, so you will float, but knowing how to swim prepares you for how to react once you hit the water. We did 3 smaller water slides and one long one that was 18ft high. You have the option to slide or jump and they even have stairs to climb down. There were several kids that were terrified and climbed down during my excursion. I would definitely do it again. After we left the waterfalls, we had a Dominican lunch at a restaurant. The food was delicious. Next we visited a small farm were they rolled cigars. We had the mammajana drink, tasted chocolate and did a little but of shopping. Over all a really good experience. The excursion is just as described. Also, we paid a lot less booking through Viator instead of the cruise ship.

We originally had a switch up with our activity dates and Christopher was VERY accommodating and still showed us a great time! The food, culture, and sites were all great and we were free to ask all types of questions! Not only did we go to the designated spots, he also took the time to show us some real spots to get good food and drinks outside of the popular places. When going to the chocolate and coffee spot, the demonstration was very good and they let us taste the products at their different stages. The lunch was really tasty and very fresh, each of us had 2 plates of food and really enjoyed the hospitality!!! Would highly recommend!
