Best Dominican Republic Tours from Santo Domingo

The Dominican Republic is a land of sensory delights, boasting the most diverse geography in the Caribbean - from alpine peaks to desert plains. Most visitors find paradise in Punta Cana, home to 48 kilometers of coconut-fringed beaches and world-class all-inclusive resorts. However, the country’s heart beats in Santo Domingo, the oldest permanent European settlement in the Americas, where the Zona Colonial preserves 16th-century cathedrals and palaces. For the adventurous, the Samaná Peninsula offers seasonal whale watching and the hidden El Limón Waterfall, while the northern coast around Cabarete is a global hub for kitesurfing. From dancing merengue and bachata under the stars to exploring the turquoise cenotes of Hoyo Azul, the "DR" is a vibrant, rhythmic escape that offers much more than just a beach holiday.
