Here's What You Get
If YOU want to go home with a more in depth understanding of the Dominican Republic then keep reading because our Country Safari is a crash course in Dominican culture, wrapped up in an unforgettable Full-Day excursion.
Get all your SENSES ready because we're taking you deep into the tropical countryside of the Dominican Republic's eastern most mountain range to:
- Hear about locals customs at a traditional Dominican home
- See the grounds of a sleepy country plantation bursting with local produce
- Savor infamous Dominican cacao (chocolate), in its organic state, and harvested from the surrounding fertile lands
- Smell the aroma of rich Caribbean coffee, ground from the finest beans in Punta Cana's Cordillera Oriental 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!
Sound interesting so far? If so, great! If not, no worries because we're just getting started. Have we mentioned you also??
- Visit a local elementary school to better understand the country's public education system
- 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
- LUNCH!! Yes, a traditional, home-cooked buffet of rice and beans, meat, salad, plantains, sweets and coffee - enjoyed in rustic country surroundings. The way it should be.
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!

"This excursion was outstanding. And our guide (Emelio Boom-Boom) was superb. Our entire family enjoyed the experience immensely. We found it to be very informative and exciting from beginning to end. I recommended this excursion to several other tourist even before we left Punta Cana."

"We took the country tour on Monday 11th December 2023 and it was way more than we could have ever expected…our tour guide Alex was very pleasant and funny and ensured that we were comfortable and safe…we did so many exciting things like visit the cocoa and coffee estate, zip lining horse back riding and not to mention lunch….omg…mouth watering…this tour is a must do for anyone visiting punta cana…you get to see a side of the island that you would not normally be exposed too…its worth way more than we paid for it"

"Went to punta cana sept30-oct 10. I have booked several times with Punta Cana Tours, and never had a problem. The pricing is very reasonable and I was excited to see I could pay via PayPal upfront. It’s great getting to the resort in a air-conditioned vehicle, with a friendly courteous member from Punta Cana Tours. Plus arrived to the resort before the bus load and got to stay an extra hour at the resort on departure day because we didn’t have to stop anywhere to pick people up! Book with confidence, you won’t regret it."
