Dominican countryside, culture and beach escape with lunch
Overview
For a real taste of Caribbean culture, look no further than this full day bus tour around the Dominican Republic. You’ll visit remote villages while learning all about local produce and history.
The adventure kicks off as your guide regales you with the history of the island while we journey through cattle grazing lands and rice fields. You’ll drive by a typical rural school, on route to tour some of the island’s coffee, cocoa and sugar cane plantations.
Head on to Higuey, and you’ll see the famous Altagracia Basilica – a pilgrimage site because of its miraculous image of Our Lady – before a wander around the bustling market. Check out the views of the Cordillera Oriental mountains before we round off with a beach stop and lunch in a local restaurant. There’s also the option of a half-day tour that packs in plenty of fun highlights, but skips lunch and Altagracia Basilica.
