Half-Day Cultural Safari
Overview

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.

5.00It was nice, the travel agent took us through all activities in his car, we were happy about it because we didn’t have to ride in a bus and wait in lines, as groups do, and afterward he took us to Macana beach and let us stay there for a while so we could enjoy.

5.00This 1/2-day cultural tour is a must. Our guide, Christopher, was exceptional, professional, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. He created a seamless, informative experience that truly made the Dominican Republic come alive for us. I finally feel like I’ve fully visited and understood this beautiful country. The sights and photo opportunities were unmatched, and the lunch was the best food I’ve had since arriving in the DR. Definitely book this excursion!
Amazing experience!
