Description

Embark on a full-day Caribbean escape that blends the pristine natural beauty of a protected island reserve with the historic charm of a recreated European village. Discover the Dominican Republic's most iconic coastal and cultural gems on a personalized, stress-free journey designed for privacy and supreme comfort. Begin your private expedition as you navigate the turquoise waters of the Caribbean toward Isla Catalina. This jewel of the sea is famous for its shimmering white sands and the vibrant, translucent quality of its surrounding water. The highlight of the marine portion of the trip is a guided, deep-water snorkel stop at a renowned dive site known locally as 'The Wall,' a spectacular coral formation teeming with dazzling tropical fish and thriving marine life. The clarity here provides perfect conditions for both novice and experienced snorkelers to observe an underwater spectacle unlike any other. Following your exhilarating aquatic adventure, proceed to a secluded, designated area on Catalina's main beach. Here, the focus shifts to pure relaxation. Have ample time to soak up the sun, swim in the warm ocean currents, or simply unwind on a comfortable beach chair. Enjoy a sumptuous Dominican-style buffet lunch served beachside, featuring a mouthwatering selection of local cuisine, including freshly prepared meats and regional specialties. Throughout your time on the island and aboard the vessel, a full open bar will provide unlimited access to refreshing soft drinks and a selection of premium national alcoholic beverages, ensuring complete refreshment under the tropical sun. In the afternoon, the journey takes a fascinating turn inland to the architectural marvel of Altos de Chavón. Perched high above the dramatic Chavón River, this captivating site is a masterful, complete replica of a 16th-century Mediterranean village. Wander through its cobblestone pathways and past its ancient-looking stone structures, and feel instantly transported to a bygone era of European history. Your exploration includes visits to the iconic St. Stanislaus Church, the Regional Archaeological Museum (which houses a significant collection of indigenous Taino artifacts), and the famous 5,000-seat Greco-Roman style amphitheater, which has hosted some of the world’s most celebrated performers. Take in the panoramic vistas from the village overlooking the river valley and the Casa de Campo mansions. Conclude your day with a tranquil, scenic return journey, leaving you with unforgettable memories of the Dominican Republic's extraordinary diversity.
