Description

Discover a rich, authentic side of the Dominican Republic on this full-day safari-style excursion departing from Punta Cana and traveling inland towards Higüey. Begin with a scenic drive through rustic villages and sugarcane plantations, offering a glimpse into everyday rural life beyond the resort belt. Visit the impressive Basilica Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia in Higüey, a major pilgrimage site in the region. From there, plunge into local culture: stop at a sugarcane plantation for a rum-tasting session and observe a master cigar-rolling demonstration. Next, be invited into a Dominican family’s home for a hearty lunch prepared with fresh, locally-sourced produce. The meal becomes more than just food: tour the home’s farm and coffee plantation, sample cocoa and tropical fruits straight from the source, and immerse yourself in daily island life. After lunch, the afternoon is yours to relax and soak up the Caribbean atmosphere at the beautiful Macao Beach. Swim, unwind with a drink, or simply lounge on the sand.
