Our Cultural Safari stands out because we don’t just show places — we connect travelers with the real Dominican culture. We have selected stops so our guests can live authentic experiences: visit local communities, see how cacao and coffee are made in an artisanal way, visit the Basilica of Higüey, enjoy a typical Dominican lunch by the river, and interact with local people.

In addition, we keep smaller groups to offer a more personalized experience, a more human connection, and allow the traveler to ask questions, learn, and truly feel the Dominican Republic from the inside.

  • Just say no.

    I appreciate the pick up from our hotel. The horse back riding was a blast. The cigar making was very quick. They're mainly trying to sell you whatever they can. Macao beach would be nice if they people weren't trying to push all their trinkets on you. They get you by giving you a cheap little bracelet while guiding you to their storefront. One man was really aggressive. Just be firm and tell them youre not interested unless you are obviously.

    Christopher was a wonderful host! Very knowledgeable and good sense of humor. Late pickup due to traffic but he made sure we still got our full time and all events as promised. Driver was excellent as well and always felt safe. Well worth the money and then some! Excellent way to experience the culture outside of the resort.

    Mixed experience, I think in this kind of experience, guide animation does a lot. He picked us up from the hotel 20 minutes late, waiting for it to be in a small tourist open van, like the one in the picture, disappointed it was a valve, which goes to several hotels to look for guests, and we started the tour two hours later. We booked a guide in French and in the car he told us that he had no guide in French that day. We started with a horseback ride with Jesus very nice, after making cigars, a visit to the vegetable and fruit market which is not interesting very small dirty and very expensive. The meal prepared by the locals was very good and the visit to local interesting but embarrassing to enter the privacy of people. At this visit he had a group that the guide spoke several languages and he explained to us in French the making of cocoa vanilla coffee etc which was very interesting and the guide very nice.

    The tour operator never reached out or responded to any of their messages to coordinate pick up or neither did they provide any information about the tour. Do not book from this tour operator
