Self-Drive Tours and Guided Trips

For many people, the Dominican Republic is the epitome of exotic holiday dreams, a paradise of sunny weather, beaches, and the Caribbean joy of living. It was a favorite for Christopher Columbus, worthy of bearing the name ‘the Spanish one’. Its natives honored it with the name ‘Quisqueya’, which means Fertile Mother Earth. However something many holiday visitors do not know is that the Dominican Republic also offers mountains that are more than 3,000 meters high (9,843 feet), canyons, steppes, lagoons, islands and a fascinating past. This rich diversity provides a multitude of unique activities all in this small island nation. Be it cultural events, the nightlife, river rafting, hiking tours, biking excursions, canyon trips or a swim under a waterfall:
DOMINICAN EXPERT has the best insiders’ tips in its repertoire.
