Itinerary
Hop aboard an open-air safari-style truck from your Punta Cana or Bavaro hotel, and set out into the Anamuya mountains. During the rollicking ride, soak up the stunning seascapes and tropical countryside, dotted with pastel-colored cottages. As your knowledgeable guide provides engaging commentary, look out for horses, donkeys, hens and bulls grazing or resting in the shade. Also, the Dominican Republic is well-known for its cigars. At the trapiche, listen to generations-old master craftsmen explain how they harvest tobacco and roll them into sought-after cigars. Break for lunch at a mountaintop restaurant pavilion, and dig into a delicious buffet with refreshing beer, smooth rum and non-alcoholic drinks to accompany your meal. Visit a typical Dominican home to meet a local family and taste beloved treats such as just-plucked tropical fruits, freshly brewed organic coffee and pure cacao. Want something with more kick? Try a mamajuana, a Dominican drink of rum, red wine and honey.
end your day enjoying the waters of the amazing Anamuya river.

Traveler reviews
Dominican Republic Safari Style
We enjoyed our county and city safari tour in Dominican Republic. We got to learn about some of the culture in the Dominican Republic. Our tour guide, Rudy, was very entertaining and friendly. He knew a great deal about his country and natives. We got to see some interesting things in the open air truck. It was big warm when stopped but even the car was moving it was comfortable. Learning how coffee and chocolate was made was most interesting. Lunch was nice with a selection of warm foods. My feedback would be to avoid the sales pitch of the goods at the plantation. They really can sale themselves through samples. That could have been 45 min for another stop.
Magnificent Experience!
Our experience was great from the beginning. Our tour guide and our driver, Angel and Adolfo respectively, were attentive, respectful, and very informative. They really did a great job on the presentation of the Dominican Culture. The Admission fee is very much worth.
Great Tour and Excellent Guides!
The best part of traveling is enjoying the culture. This tour definitely checks that box. However, Angel (guide) and Adolfo (driver) really made this tour shine. Driving here is pretty intense and Adolfo made it seem easy and got us everywhere on time. Angel was very knowledgeable of our surroundings and made the trip that much more enjoyable. His jokes and laughter kept the group entertained and we would highly recommend them and this tour. Definite five star rating!
