Excursions in the Dominican Republic are quite expensive, many interesting and beautiful places are far from Punta Cana. Definitely worth a visit to the Samana Peninsula, many people like about. Saona and Altos de Chavon artists' village. But tour companies don’t take you to the Jaragua National Park, Lake de Ovedo and the most beautiful wild beaches of Eagle Bay, it’s too far. And in vain, very beautiful places.

no need to go to Manatee Park. You can also go to Santo Domingo. it is the capital, but:
1. far to go 4 hours;
2. excursion only in the old city, even if you ask to get somewhere else they don’t take you;
3. souvenir shops (which the guide offers) are very expensive (this is understandable, there are%)

Those who do not want to be tied to groups can take individual excursions, then all wishes will be taken into account.
Rum, coffee and cigars (although not all brands) need to be bought in supermarkets, it's much cheaper. But souvenirs, except in souvenir shops, there is nowhere to buy.

Two must-see places!
1 - this is Lemon waterfall, for those who love mountains and nature - it's just a paradise. Firstly, the water in it is warm, you can swim right under the jets, so to speak. And the tour is rich in the fact that at first they are taken on a boat, they show the islands, mander thickets, very beautiful landscapes. Then you come to the farm, as they call it, there is lunch. Then they put you on horses, I would say mini, and you go to a waterfall in the jungle. Excursion for the whole day, to be honest I don’t remember the exact price, but more than $ 100 per person, so be aware. And yes, you are taken by plane to another part of the island.
2 - Saona Island. It's just heaven! It's very beautiful there, the Bounty ad was filmed there, so you have an idea :) And there you can give starfish from the ocean.
We also enjoyed the buggy tour very much. These are such mini-cars, such as ATVs. You ride them into the jungle, very beautiful nature. You are driving yourself, which is a pleasant pleasure. And at the end you are brought to the grotto, there is like a small lake. The water is just crystal clear and fresh, and you can also swim there. There were a lot of emotions, because the tour was after the rain, and we got a little dirty, but it was a lot of fun

In the Dominican Republic, an advertisement for Bacardi rum was filmed on the island of Cayo Levantado, on the Samana Peninsula. Nothing was filmed on Saona. I live and travel here.
In general, a lot of things were filmed here, in the Dominican Republic, for example, the film "Anaconda", "Apocalypse" ...........

Historical excursions, in my opinion, are not in the mandatory program, the country is hot, the climate is humid, tiring. Various tours - safari in jeeps and buggies - for a lover of such entertainment, the country is very beautiful, you can ride through the jungle. The islands, of course, are a different story, Saona is the most popular among first-time tourists, but also the most "well-traveled" for the same reason. I advise you to take an individual tour there, we went on our own with Two bananas, so as not to mix with the crowd of tourists, and if possible, visit the Samana peninsula. The pleasure is not cheap, on average, it will cost 200-300 dollars, but it's worth it, plus, if you go in February, you can see humpback whales!
