Dominican Republic Tours

Beyond the all-inclusive beaches of Punta Cana, the Dominican Republic hides the first colonial city in the Americas at Santo Domingo, plus waterfalls and green mountains inland. Resort stays pair nicely with island excursions.

Two Sides of One Island Nation

Dominican Republic tours divide naturally between coast and interior. Resort excursions from Punta Cana run to Saona and Catalina islands, while Santo Domingo's Zona Colonial holds the first cathedral, university and paved street of the Americas, all dating to the early 1500s.

Inland Surprises

The Cordillera Central rises past 3,000 meters at Pico Duarte, the highest point in the Caribbean, and the 27 waterfalls of Damajagua near Puerto Plata make a wet, ropes-and-jumps half day. Jarabacoa's rivers add rafting in a climate cool enough for pine trees.

Season Notes

Humpback whales gather in Samaná Bay from mid-January to late March, the one strictly seasonal highlight. Otherwise December through April brings the driest weather, with hurricane watch running August to October.
