YOUR PACEBeach + exploration
Start with a little wonder.
Ojos Indígenas
A nature reserve with forest trails and freshwater lagoons. Confirm visitor access and permitted activities before planning your visit.
Find your own rhythm.
A day on the water
Explore ideas for a catamaran outing or snorkeling. Ask about group size, time on the water and what the operator includes.
Leave room for nothing
Keep an unplanned afternoon for a long lunch, a book or another walk along the beach. Your trip doesn’t need a full schedule.
Taste a little of the place.
A Dominican breakfast
Try mangú, mashed green plantains, often served with eggs, fried cheese and salami.
Something local
Look for sancocho, a hearty stew, or a dish of fish in coconut sauce. Ask your host about local specialties and ingredients.
A few details to think about.
Choose your base
Compare the beach setting, atmosphere and transfer arrangements. Ask what is included at the property you’re considering.
Before your trip
Confirm current entry requirements with official authorities. Check activity access, transport and accessibility directly with the relevant providers.
Leave a day for exploring.
Cap Cana
Consider Hoyo Azul for a nature-focused outing. Check the operator’s access conditions and any activity requirements.
A longer day out
Saona Island or Altos de Chavón can inspire a day trip. Compare travel time and the full itinerary before choosing.
