“We started the day at Montaña Redonda, and it was magical — the views were breathtaking, and we had so much fun on the swings and hammocks. Then we went to Yanigua Waterfall, where we had amazing lunch right by the water. The food was fresh and tasty, and we met a tiny kitten and a sweet dog named Marroni , they totally stole my heart! ♥️ We ended the day with a peaceful boat ride through the mangroves in Los Haitises Park, surrounded by beautiful nature. Everything was well planned, and the guides were super friendly. Such a perfect 3-in-1 tour — I really recommend it!❤️”

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 47 reviews · 6 hours · from $139

Spend six hours at Bavaro Adventure Park driving an off-road buggy through an abandoned mine, visiting a countryside museum, swimming in a blue lagoon cenote, and riding six zip lines, including a water landing. Guide Carlos has earned praise for his friendly help. Hotel pickup, equipment, training, lunch, and filtered water are included.

“Transportation was good (we were very close so cannot really speak for others further away). A bit of a wait at the beginning before going on the buggy tour. The buggy tour itself in my opinion wasn’t as exciting as trips I have done in the past. The group was fairly large so maybe that was why. Didn’t really pick up too much speed as a result. There is a no phone policy for “safety” which they were VERY strict on. Almost too overbearing. I was a passenger so didn’t see any reason why I shouldn’t be allowed my phone. (I believe it’s mainly so you buy the photos in…”

8.Bávaro Adventure Park Horse Riding & Waterfalls

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 11 reviews

Spend four hours at Bávaro Adventure Park riding horseback along quiet nature trails, learning about local wildlife from Spanish, English, or French-speaking guides, then cooling off in the Waterfall Pool before a typical Dominican lunch. Shared hotel transfer is available, but bring swimwear and closed-toe shoes, and expect restrictions on phones and bags.

“En soit le cadre est génial, uniquement le temps d’attente avant de partir à l’équitation qui a été de presque 1h (trop long). J’aurai souhaité faire plus de cheval sur différents sentiers. Ensuite la où nous avons été surpris est le prix à l’intérieur du parc (16€ pour avoir une photo du photographe, 6€ un petit magnum.. ) mais le personnel top !”
