Overview

  • Discover the Dominican Republic beyond the resorts on a private half-day experience from Punta Cana to Higüey and the surrounding countryside.

    Travel comfortably in a private air-conditioned vehicle while your local guide introduces you to Dominican culture, history and everyday life. Visit the Basilica area in Higüey, experience local communities and traditions, and discover Dominican coffee and cacao.

    You will see a side of the Dominican Republic that most resort visitors never experience, with the flexibility and personal attention of a private tour.

    This is not a rushed sightseeing excursion. It is a relaxed opportunity to understand the people, culture and everyday life of the country while exploring the region around Punta Cana. This tour is ideal for travellers who want to see abd understand the real Dominican Republic, not just the resort areas.
