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 â€¦

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!

There is a short stop at the Basilica in Higuey. To enter, women and men must be covered to the elbows and knees. The tour makes a stop at a local school; sometimes, visitors choose to bring helpful donations. This should never be money, but instead school supplies like pens, pencils, notebooks, backpacks, clothing, etc. There are no children on Saturdays and Sundays or major holidays but the tour still visits the school.

Well Worth the Money Paid!

“I loved Reef Explorer and I am not a very good swimmer. My teen aged son was with me and he also had a wonderful time. We both got to hold a stingray and swim with them, then we also got to swim with the nurse sharks. I fed the schools of fish that would come to the area with some white bread and we got some great photos. My son did the swim out to the reef and said it was so cool. He said it was so much better then the one near the beach in Punta Cana. He also did the paddle boards. He was thrilled when he found out there was also a massage and opted for the stone massage. I never saw a bigger smile on his face then after this excursion. We took tons of pictures and loved the smoothies, the snacks, and the smiles we received from all of the crew. We would recommend this to everyone. Anyone who complains about not seeing or doing everything, just didn't follow directions. I would love to get the name of the woman there, she was so nice and helpful. She spoke very good English and seemed to keep everything going smoothly. Thanks for a wonderful day, June 21, 2012. The memories will be with me for a lifetime.”

Santo Domingo Day Trip Review

“Last month we booked a day trip to Santo Domingo from Punta Cana through Caribbean Dream. Overall we were delighted with the way the day went. It was a long day but we knew to expect that. We were picked up from our hotel very early in the morning. We were the last pick up stop (Punta Cana Hard Rock Hotel) which also meant we were the first to be dropped off in the evening. Both ways we stopped at a small food and souvenir market which was very helpful as they also had clean toilets. You were under no pressure whatsoever to make any purchases although most people did pick up a drink and snack. We made a few different stops to visit the historical attractions as listed on the itinerary all of which were very interesting. The last stop was in the centre of Santo Domingo. One of the requirements of our trip was that we could visit the Hard Rock Cafe in Santo Domingo and the cathedral is opposite it. After our little group had been to the cathedral there was a free 45 minutes to wander and do souvenir shopping so we used this time to make our cafe visit. Our guide was fantastic. He spoke 4 different languages so everyone in the group could understand - English, Spanish, Italian and French. The small coach was air-conditioned and as a comfortable as it could be on the Dominican Republic roads! Overall from initial enquiry to the day of our trip the communication from Caribbean Dream was great and we would have no hesitation in recommending them. Visiting from London, UK”

Quitting My Day Job to Take Up Surfing!

“Daniel picked us up at our hotel and gave us a quick overview of Dominican politics. Our family of 4 had a great introduction into surfing. My eldest no longer wants to go to University but wants to be a professional surfer. Thanks guys. Say hi to Jack the surfin' dog when you go.”
