Top Dominican Republic Day Trips

Excellent guides and service. Food facing the sea in Mano Juan, paradisiacal, quiet beaches, like Canto de Playa, without many tourists. It was my birthday and they gave me a cake. A program that covers 4 sites, including the natural pool and the mangroves where you can see the turtles. There was only one error with the pickup, due to a date change that I initiated, but it was later corrected. Recommended.

Here’s a brief, fun version: 🇩🇴🌴 We had such an amazing time exploring a different side of the DR on our countryside safari tour! We started with horseback riding 🐎, visited the cathedral, tried our hand at cigar rolling, and enjoyed some delicious local food—the stewed chicken was definitely my favorite! 😋 We also visited a local family farm before ending the adventure at the beach. 🌊 It was a LONG day, but our tour guide Angel and driver Emilio were AMAZING—answering all our questions, sharing so much about the culture, and keeping the party going the entire time! 😂🎶 Definitely recommend this tour if you want to get outside the resort and experience another side of the island! 🇩🇴❤️

From beginning to end the excursion was great. One of the best excursions I have been on. The night before the company let us know what time our pick up time was which was great and very accurate. Our tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable about the Dominican Republic, he spoke English, Spanish, and French. I can’t remember his name but I know he was a police officer, hopefully if you go you get him :). It was very nice seeing outside of the tourist area, we went to the famous Catholic Church, a school, a shop, the market, a lady house, Macao beach, and as a group we decided not to do horse back riding. We had lunch at this restaurant which was originally supposed to be at the lady’s house but that didn’t happen unfortunately due to certain circumstances but our driver made it right and we still got lunch. Overall the experience was a 5/5. Highly recommend!

Extremely satisfied with the service received. The attention, professionalism, and dedication of the entire team made our experience truly special. Without a doubt, we will gladly return to have the pleasure of being attended by such excellent service professionals again. Totally recommended! Christopher

Beautiful half day tour into the Highly Exclusive & Affluent Gated Community of Casa de Campo frequented by many celebrities. Our tour guide Alex was very knowledgeable and courteous showing us around. We saw beautiful views of the River, walked around all the exclusive shops and even rode a donkey! The amphitheater was amazing (felt like we were in Rome or Greece!) and the church was also very pretty. Great photo ops around every corner! Really beautiful and something different to do aside from beach & action parks.

This catamaran trip was a highlight of our holiday, it was worth every penny. A small group of around 30 (adults and children) took to the sea on a relaxed journey to Saona that took around 90 minutes. It was peaceful and there was plenty of room to sit and enjoy the views. We spent around 2 hours on Saona Island which was breath taking. Upon our return to the boat, we had a delicious lunch followed by snorkelling in a natural pool where we saw lots of huge star fish and even a turtle! A wonderful experience, thank you!

Lots of adventure and sights to see. Broke up our week at a resort with this tour. Not for the faint of heart or someone looking for a luxury option. But you get amazing people (guide and driver) who make you feel safe and enjoy the beauty of the country. Robinson was our tour guide and made you feel like family. The lunch we had on this tour was authentic and probably the best food we had on our entire trip. If you are looking to experience something you won’t forget, I encourage you to give this a try.

This boat day was SO much fun. There are a lot of people on the boat, so expect a very social, lively environment. You’ll likely be sharing tables and space with others, and there aren’t really quiet or private areas. That said, if you’re open to it, it really adds to the experience. The crew completely made the trip. They were hilarious, engaging, and did an amazing job getting everyone involved—dancing, laughing, and just having a great time. Huge shoutout to Benjamin and Mawii (the photographer), who were especially fun and added a lot to the vibe. The day starts with two snorkeling stops. You can fully snorkel with equipment, just swim, or even stay on the boat if that’s more your speed. My friends and I chose to just get in the water and swim, which was perfect. Life jackets are provided and required in the water, but not while you’re on the boat. After snorkeling, the open bar kicks in and you cruise while eating and drinking. The food was buffet-style, with plenty of options and generous portions—you can go back for as much as you want. A couple practical tips: • There are bathrooms on board • Definitely bring sunscreen and a towel • Take motion sickness medication beforehand—this is a big one Even if you’re comfortable on boats, the waves can be intense. I grew up on the water on a boat every weekend in Florida and still took Bonine beforehand, and I’m really glad I did. I felt completely fine, but probably a third of the boat got seasick. The crew does their best to help (cold washcloths, crackers, water, buckets, etc.), but it’s much better to prevent it. Bonine is great because it doesn’t have noticeable side effects, so it’s 100% worth taking as a just in case. Overall, I would definitely recommend this experience. It’s high-energy, social, and just a really fun way to spend a day on the water.
