Description

Discover one of the top activities in the Dominican Republic with this exclusive small-group tour (max 14 people) to Caño Hondo Waterfalls and Los Haitises National Park. Departing every Wednesday from Punta Cana or Bayahibe, this full-day adventure combines nature, culture, and relaxation, far from the crowded beach excursions. Your journey begins early in the morning with pickup from your hotel. Sit back in a comfortable air-conditioned minibus and enjoy the scenic drive through tropical countryside and coastal villages. Unlike standard large group tours, this intimate experience allows for more connection, flexibility, and discovery. Arrive at Caño Hondo, a natural paradise nestled at the edge of Los Haitises. Enjoy a typical Dominican breakfast before swimming in the crystal-clear natural pools and waterfalls, surrounded by lush jungle. This peaceful spot is often called one of the Dominican Republic’s hidden gems, a perfect place to unwind and feel close to nature. Late morning, sit down for a fresh Dominican lunch at Cano Hondo. The intimate small-group setting keeps the pace relaxed and gives you more time to enjoy the setting before the afternoon adventure. After lunch, continue your journey with a boat trip through Los Haitises National Park, one of the country’s most spectacular natural reserves. Navigate through mangrove forests, spot tropical birds, and marvel at the majestic limestone cliffs rising from the sea. You’ll also explore two ancient caves, decorated with Taíno petroglyphs and paintings, fascinating traces of the island’s first inhabitants. Your professional guide will share stories about the park’s unique ecosystem and cultural history, making this not just a sightseeing tour, but a journey through time. The adventure ends on a secluded pristine wild beach, where you’ll enjoy free time to swim or simply relax under the Caribbean sun. No crowds, no beach clubs, just peace, sea breeze, and the sound of waves. As the day comes to an end, your driver will take you back to your hotel in Bayahibe or Punta Cana around 7/7.30pm. You’ll return with unforgettable memories of waterfalls, caves, and one of the most authentic experiences in the Dominican Republic.
