The Dominican Republic is one of those paradisiacal destinations for all those who love beaches and natural environments. In the heart of the Caribbean, there you can discover places full of magic, and that many people mistakenly think that the only thing they will find there is "sun and sand." There are many excursions that you can do to get to know the most interesting, and although you can hire them at the hotel, I recommend that you compare a few sites since this way you can choose from a greater variety.
Take note of the best excursions in the Dominican Republic :
– Puerto Plata : it is a beautiful place and your visit is practically essential. It is a few kilometers from Playa Dorada, one of the most famous. It has always been one of the most important places in the country in terms of infrastructure and commerce. There are many resorts and hotels here, so it will probably be the destination you choose as your "hub."
– Isla Saona and Altos de ChavĂłn : part of the journey has to be done by plane, and then another is done by boat navigating the ChavĂłn River, where movies like Rambo were filmed. After the river excursion you will arrive at Isla Saona, although a little before there will be a stop to enjoy some spectacular natural pools. On the island they will take you to eat and see the most interesting things, and on the way back the boat turns into a disco and there are entertainers who teach tourists to dance merengue. It is a very complete and fun excursion.
– Isla Saona and Isla Catalina : it is similar to the previous one but instead of going by boat, it goes on fast boats that will take you to both islands so you can see the best of each of them. You will not have much time to enjoy each beach but it is also a very interesting excursion.
– Manati Park : it is a theme park where you can enjoy the best of the flora and fauna of the entire country, plus you can swim with dolphins for a long time for about $ 70.
– Jeep Safari : on this excursion you will visit rural houses, fields, plantations and a few ranches. You can also see spectacular waterfalls and take a bath in the middle of nature.
