Personal welcome at the airport of Punta Cana (driver with name sign outside the terminal) and transfer to the old town of Santo Domingo. The rest of the day is at your leisure to explore the oldest city in the New World. If you land in Santo Domingo or are already in a hotel in Punta or Bayahibe, your transfer to the old town of Santo Domingo is also included.

Possible excursions from/to your accommodation in the old town of Santo Domingo.
Day 3:
Santo Domingo - La Vega - Jarabacoa (150 kilometers - 2 hours 30 Minutes)
Today, a provider representative will visit you at your hotel at 10:00 am and give you a short briefing. Thereby you will receive valuable tips for your round trip. Afterwards you will be driven to the rental car station. After picking up your rental car you will head north. In La Vega you will leave the highway. You will start the ascent into the mountains of the Cordillera Central, also called the Dominican Alps, where many locals spend their summer vacations. The small town of Jarabacoa is located here at 600 meters above sea level and is surrounded by pine forests, rivers, mountains and valleys. Spring-like temperatures prevail here all year round. The climatic health resort is the center for hiking enthusiasts and nature lovers.
Day 4:
Jarabacoa - San Francisco de Macorís - Las Galeras (220 kilometers - 4 hours 30 Minutes)
Before leaving Jarabacoa you can visit the coffee factory "Monte Alto", where everything about the cultivation and processing of coffee will be explained to you. Also, a walk through the nature to the "Salto Baiguate" is recommended. Afterwards, the route goes in the direction of San Francisco de Macorís. On the way you should visit the "Sendero de Cacao". Here you will have the unique opportunity to learn everything from the cocoa bean to chocolate processing at the cacao plantation "Hacienda La Esmeralda", which supplies world-renowned chocolate factories.
Today's destination is the Peninsula Samana. The 63 kilometers long and between 10- and 20-kilometers wide peninsula is characterized by a paradisiacal tropical landscape with secluded beaches in hidden bays, clean mountain rivers and rugged rocky coasts. Your hotel is located on a peak near Las Galeras.
Day 5:
Las Galeras
Unwind on the beautiful and unique sandy beaches of this peninsula. We recommend you visit the beach Playa Rincón, located west of Las Galeras, by car. Upon arrival, first visit the left side where you will discover the Caño Frio River. Here you can charter a wooden boat and visit the beautiful mangroves together with a local guide. Afterwards you will take the car again and drive to the right side of the bay. At the very end you will find a typical restaurant, this is the best place in the bay for swimming - a beach as you usually only know it from a postcard!
Las Galeras also has beautiful beaches. From Playa Las Galeras you can take a speedboat excursion to Las Tres Playas, the three beaches. This excursion will allow you to discover the most beautiful beaches of the region. First, you will visit Playa Fronton beach, which can only be reached by sea. The water here is crystal clear. You can see colorful fish and corals while snorkeling. After that, they will visit Playita, a pretty little beach whose waters are transparent and turquoise (also accessible by car). Afterwards, the boat will take them along the coast to the previously mentioned beach Playa Rincon. From the boat they will experience the bay from a completely different perspective.
Day 6:
Las Galeras - Bayahibe (300 kilometers - 4 hours 30 Minutes)
After a long drive full of impressions towards the south, you will reach the village of Bayahibe. Here you will feel the energy of the Dominican Republic. Since this drive is very long, we recommend you visit La Cueva de las Maravillas on the way. A cave system with underground river courses and the largest developed dripstone cave in the Dominican Republic. It holds many impressive drawings of the Taino Indians. The labyrinth in the same complex is also worth a visit - here you can put your sense of direction to the test.
Day 7:
Bayahibe
You can't actually leave Bayahibe without visiting Isla Saona. The island has arguably one of the most beautiful, white Caribbean beaches surrounded by turquoise, clear water. There are countless catamarans and speedboats offering the excursion daily. At your personal briefing in Santo Domingo, we will explain all the details.
Day 8:
Bayahibe - Punta Cana (70 kilometers - 1 hour)
Enjoy the morning in Bayahibe. Then drive to the airport according to your flight details. You can return the car at the airport. Since you are returning the car to a different location than where you picked it up, you will be charged a return fee when you drop off the rental car. This will be charged to your credit card when you pick up the car. If you have booked a beach extension with us, we will organize a transfer for you from the airport (after dropping off the car) to your beach hotel. It is also possible to return the car at the nearby airport of La Romana (20 minutes). This option is preferable for a bathing extension in Bayahibe.
