For a real taste of Caribbean culture, look no further than this full day bus tour around the Dominican Republic. You’ll visit remote villages while learning all about local produce and history.
The adventure kicks off as your guide regales you with the history of the island while we journey through cattle grazing lands and rice fields. You’ll drive by a typical rural school, on route to tour some of the island’s coffee, cocoa and sugar cane plantations.
Head on to Higuey, and you’ll see the famous Altagracia Basilica – a pilgrimage site because of its miraculous image of Our Lady – before a wander around the bustling market. Check out the views of the Cordillera Oriental mountains before we round off with a beach stop and lunch in a local restaurant. There’s also the option of a half-day tour that packs in plenty of fun highlights, but skips lunch and Altagracia Basilica.

We had contemplated doing the half day trip but glad we went for the full day instead. We were collected on time and returned to our hotel at the expected time. Luckily, the distinctive bus wasn't completely full as it might have been a little uncomfortable as it was a very hot day. Our guide, Danny, kept us well informed along the drive and during various stops. Jenny gave us plenty of drink samples and entertained us with her dancing. We didn't feel rushed during the various stops, the market being quite an eye opener but enjoyable. To end the day on the beach was lovely. The excursion was interesting, informative and with varied stops along the way. It was great to get out of the resort and see another part of the DR.
