What to expect

If dreamy islands and pristine nature are your thing, then this three-in-one tour is a must-do. It's a perfect mix of landscapes and seascapes, action and relaxation. You'll explore mountains, caves and beaches at Cayo Levantado, Los Haitises National Park and Redonda Mountain – a 100% Dominican experience. Ramon, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Los Haitises is a haven for birds. You'll likely spot the endemic and endangered Ridgway's hawk, the Hispaniolan piculet, the Hispaniolan woodpecker, the Hispaniolan emerald, as well as pelicans, frigate birds, herons and many more birds in flight.'

From Punta Cana, you'll set off through the Anamuya mountain range en route to the top of Montaña Redonda for a light breakfast. Drink in the epic views of the tropical landscape rippling down to the coast, or relax on one of the swings and hammocks. Then it's off to Canitas, where you'll hop aboard a speedboat and zoom across Samana Bay to Cayo Levantado. This little island out in the bay is known for its blissful beaches. After time to swim, snorkel or sunbathe here, you'll enjoy a tasty lunch of fresh local fish, beachside.

But there's more. You'll also discover abundant natural beauty in Los Haitises National Park. Weave through the rocky islets by boat and look out for wildlife in the thick vegetation. Visiting a cave once inhabited by the indigenous Taino people, you'll see their ancient petroglyphs and pictographs – cave art – before passing through a natural mangrove on your return.

Saona Island catamaran cruise with private beach and lunch

Pure relaxation awaits on this trip to Saona Island. If you're looking for that perfect Insta-ready escapade, you've found it. Saona is a textbook tropical daydream of an island, swathed in exotic flora and fringed with swaying palm trees, powder white sands and endless blue-green waters. You'll reach the island in a combination of catamaran and fast boat, with an outbound snorkel stop.Ramon, one of our expert guides, says "we work hard to protect our pristine environment and all the species that make it so special. We were the first country to protect manatees by law, and we have a turtle conservation programme here on Saona, too." The island and surrounding sea are of such importance for their biodiversity that they're protected as a national park.You'll set sail from Bayahibe into the sun-splashed seas surrounding Cotubanama National Park. Along the way, you'll stop to swim or snorkel among shoals of tropical fish at a shallow pool formed by sandbanks in the middle of the sea. Once you arrive at Saona, you'll have plenty of time to soak up those dazzling vistas and snap lots of photos. Perhaps you'll take a barefoot stroll along the one-kilometre-long private beach, or maybe you'd prefer simply relaxing with a cocktail. Although Saona is one of the country's most-visited areas, there's an exclusive beach area reserved just for you. Another highlight is the surf'n'turf lunch at a beachfront restaurant. And don't worry about getting thirsty – all your drinks are included.

Punta Cana Evening Buggy Tour with Dominican Dinner

This experience has adventure stamped all over it. Off-road buggy or safari truck rides, traditional Taino ceremonies and swimming in underground pools make for an adrenaline-pumping evening from Punta Cana. Juan, one of our local guides, says ‘Caves and cenotes played an important role in the indigenous Taino culture. Despite looking so tempting with their cool aquamarine water, the Taino people never swam in the cenotes or used the water because of their belief that they were a gateway to the underworld.' Plus, you'll enjoy a Dominican dinner and an open bar followed by live music.To kick off your all-action evening, you'll power through the Dominican countryside, zoom along dirt tracks and watch as the landscape transforms from day to night. Guided by torchlight, you'll continue your journey to take a swim in a natural cave pool, known as a cenote, with atmospheric lighting. And if you choose the safari truck option, you'll also get to visit the eerie depths of Yara Cave.With flaming torches lighting the way, you'll make your way back to base for a well-earned drink and a tasty dinner of local cuisine. The restaurant staff pride themselves on creating classic Dominican dishes, freshly prepared with seasonal produce from the island. Rounding off the evening is a traditional Taino dance show and the chance to join in with a boogie or enjoy the open bar under the stars.
