With our private chauffeurs and driver-guides you can discover the Dominican Republic intensively and supervised. Sit back during the rides and enjoy the unique views. Through our certified and professional guides you will learn a lot about the country, culture, history, flora and fauna.
This morning you will be picked up by your private driver-guide and the journey begins. After just a short drive, an incredible natural landscape stretches out around you, passing sugar cane fields and transitioning into the rugged and barren mountain landscape of the southwest. Beautiful lookouts with views over the coastal sections await you. Arriving at your accommodation, you will enjoy a relaxing evening.
Today you can spend the day according to your preferences. The beautiful, unspoiled area around Barahona offers plenty to see and discover – whether hiking through crystal clear rivers, visiting the famous Lago Enriquillo (boat trip not included) where you can see crocodiles, or mingling with Dominicans in a beach or river restaurant and watching the colorful hustle and bustle; you certainly won’t get bored.
Today you will travel along the impressive coastal road to Oviedo, where there is a large fresh saltwater lagoon. By boat you can observe iguanas, flamingos and countless other bird species (boat trip not included). Afterwards the trip continues. Along the way you will encounter beautiful cenotes and a crystal-clear lagoon. In the afternoon you will reach your accommodation, a unique glamping hotel right on the gorgeous beach of Cabo Rojo. Enjoy one of the most secluded areas in the country with constant views of the turquoise waters and clear starry skies.
Today, take a boat to the breathtaking and snow-white beach of Bahía de las Águilas (Eagle Bay), one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Enjoy relaxing hours in the crystal-clear water. In the afternoon you can walk to “La Cueva”, where you can often encounter the Hispaniola Iguana, one of the largest and most powerful vertebrate iguanas of its species. In the evening, enjoy a delicious meal with a view of the ocean and, weather permitting, a gorgeous sunset.
After breakfast on the beach, your driver-guide or chauffeur will drive you back east along the coast. Your accommodation today is a real insider’s tip that you certainly won’t find anywhere else: a newly opened glamping hotel with spectacular ocean views, infinity pool and exceptional accommodation options – far away from any mass tourism but still with a high level of comfort. The rest of the day you can relax by the hotel pool or visit the nearby La Caobita beach with your driver-guide.
On the way back to Santo Domingo you can make a detour to the dunes of Baní. Here you will get to know another side of the country; the dunes of Baní form the largest desert in the Caribbean. A few minutes drive from the dunes, you will reach the small fishing village of Las Salinas, where there is an old salt mine and the salt is still extracted from the various salt basins as it was 100 years ago. Continue to Santo Domingo and depending on the rest of the itinerary, transfer by the Driver Guide to the airport or to your connecting hotel (upon request).
On request we will be happy to arrange an individual travel extension or a complete package from arrival at the airport! Please contact us.
