The trip in a nutshell

Get ready for an extraordinary journey through the Dominican Republic, where adventure meets paradise!

This isn’t just another beach vacation—it’s an immersive experience that takes you from untouched beaches to hidden caves, from dolphin encounters to camping under the stars.

The Dominican Republic is also steeped in history; after all, it’s where Christopher Columbus discovered the Americas.

But the Dominican Republic isn’t just about natural beauty—experience the friendly locals and the vibrant pulse of Latin culture. Whether you’re looking to unwind on white-sand shores, explore natural wonders, seek thrilling activities, or dance your holiday away, with Bachata and Dembow this  trip offers the perfect blend of excitement and relaxation.

 Your adventure kicks off in Santo Domingo exploring la Zona Colonia neighbourhood.

 We’ll  explore the mystical Tres Ojos National Park before heading to Boca Chica for a day of watersports and a unique dinner in the water.

From the beauty of Isla Saona to the charm of Bayahibe, every stop is packed with unforgettable experiences. Swim with dolphins in Punta Cana, camp on the beach in Las Galeras on the Samaná Peninsula, and discover hidden gems like Macao Cave, Chico cave and the Heart of Bayahibe. This 13-day adventure guarantees memories that will last a lifetime!
