Top Dominican Republic Day Trips - page 34

My cultural tour in Higüey, Dominican Republic with Osvaldo was truly one of the highlights of my trip! From start to finish, it was an authentic and unforgettable experience. Osvaldo was an incredible guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about sharing the beauty and culture of the Dominican Republic. He made everyone feel comfortable and ensured we experienced the real local lifestyle, not just the tourist version. The tour had so many unique and memorable moments. We enjoyed a peaceful horseback ride through the countryside, which was absolutely beautiful. Visiting the local farm was fascinating—we learned how Dominican cigars are made and got to see the process of coffee and chocolate making firsthand. Everything was fresh, local, and delicious! One of my favorite parts was walking through the local market, where we got to see everyday Dominican life and try authentic products. The traditional Dominican lunch was incredible—flavorful, homemade, and a perfect way to experience the local cuisine. We also had time to stop for souvenirs and pictures, capturing some amazing memories along the way. Osvaldo made sure everyone was enjoying themselves and never rushed the experience. If you’re visiting Higüey, I highly recommend taking this cultural tour with Osvaldo. It’s the perfect way to truly connect with the Dominican culture, people, and traditions. This wasn’t just a tour—it was an experience I’ll remember forever! It also included hotel pick up and drop off in the Punta Cana area

This was a phenomenal day trip! We got to see so much of the country side and beautiful Dominican nature. Having lunch in a tree house and swimming in a waterfall we're my highlights! Our guide, Carlos, was energetic, very knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about sharing his culture with us. We learned so much! Jason, the photographer, was lovely to spend the day with and he took great photos! Definitely let him take your photo all day and the buy them at the end. Our driver, Jimmy was also great! This was one of my favourite excursions across multiple all-inclusive trips to Mexico, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic. Don't hesitate; book this trip! It was a good size group about 14. Be prepared for long drives though. If you are in Punta Cana, it will probably be 12+ hours. If you are in the Miche area, it will be quicker. There are some bumpy roads, so wear a sports bra.

It was an amazing tour from start to finish. Service was offered fluently in English, French, Spanish. We had zero issues with any aspects of coordinating transportation to and from our hotel. It was all done for us. We just had to show up at our hotel gate. The boat was perfect. There were only 26 participants in the tour with ample room to spread out and make yourself comfortable. I struggle with neck and back issues, and had no difficulty tolerating the catamaran ride. There is a full washroom on board. The snacks and meal were fantastic. Unlimited rum and beer/ beverages all day. Saona island was stunning. We had a great massage on the beach. We only wish we would’ve had a little more cash on us so we could’ve indulged in a longer treatment. The price of the massage ranged from $50-$90 per person. Everything was well organized. We felt safe and well taken care of all day long. We made many new friends from all around the world. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to journey to Saona island.
