Half-Day Tour: Dominican Discovery Of a Culture

4 h
Half Day
About this activity
Get all your SENSES ready because we're taking you deep into the tropical countryside of the Dominican Republic:
• Hear about locals customs at a traditional Dominican home
• See the grounds of a sleepy country plantation bursting with local produce
• Savor infamous cacao (chocolate), in its organic state, and harvested from the surrounding fertile lands
• Smell the aroma of rich coffee, ground from the finest beans in Punta Cana's Mountain Range
• Touch carefully cultivated Dominican tobacco leaves, World-Renowned for their robust flavor and rivaled only by their Cuban counterpart

This is the BEST the Dominican Republic has to offer so don't just touch and smell! Purchase whatever you want to take home and relive the experience!

You didn't think you could do so much in half a day huh? Lucky for you, we've saved the best for last …
• Transverse the 500-year-old city of Higuey, the capital city of the eastern La Altagracia province of the Dominican Republic. Higuey, meaning "Land of the Rising Sun" in Arawak was once controlled by a large Taino Indian kingdom who were eventually decimated by Spanish conquistadors
• Enter the Basilica, a Roman Catholic cathedral housing the 500+ year old painting of the Altagracia Virgen brought by Spanish missionaries. The cathedral's importance was solidified with Pope John Paul II's visit in 1992

But we're still not done! We've saved the best for last …

Macao Beach is one of the most sought-after coastlines in Punta Cana. Macao's amber sands and azure waters attract beach goers and surfers alike. Only locals know Macao's value as a prime destination for fresh fish and lazy Sunday afternoons with friends.

Now it's time for YOU to enjoy Macao like a local! An hour's time will give you a chance to wade in the Caribbean Ocean, recline on the beach's soft sands or people watch while refreshments are served.

Talk about ending the day on a high note!
