Dominican Republic

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Dominican Republic occupies the eastern two-thirds of Hispaniola in the Caribbean, sharing the island with Haiti. It's renowned for its powdery white-sand beaches and turquoise waters, particularly along the Punta Cana and Samaná coastlines, making it one of the most visited destinations in the Caribbean. Beyond the resorts, the country offers a rich Afro-Latino culture, merengue and bachata music born here, and diverse landscapes including the highest peak in the Caribbean, Pico Duarte. Travellers come for world-class surfing in Cabarete, humpback whale watching in the Samaná Bay, historic colonial architecture in Santo Domingo, and vibrant local nightlife.

Dominican Republic Self-Launched: Punta Cana to Santo Domingo

A self-launched 7-day version of Across Caribbean Excursions' "Dominican Republic Delight" — Punta Cana beach time and a Saona Island boat trip, then an overland hop to Santo Domingo's Colonial Zone for culture, street food and live merengue. You book your own guesthouses, join shared boat and walking tours on GetYourGuide, and use public guaguas and the Expreso Bávaro coach instead of a private driver. Roughly a quarter of the packaged price, with room to go even cheaper.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Dominican Republic yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
