Itinerario del grupo
Independence Park
The tour opens in the city's central square. Look up at the cathedral, then step into La Glorieta, the gazebo at the park's center. General Luperón handed this land over as a public park in 1879.
Calle de las Sombrillas
Overhead, rows of bright umbrellas turn this short street into the city's favorite photo backdrop. Have your camera ready.
Paseo de Doña Blanca
A narrow pedestrian lane lined with roses and pastel walls. Your guide fills in the story behind it as you stroll.
Amber & larimar workshop
At a local jewelry workshop, watch artisans work with two stones found on Hispaniola: golden amber and sky-blue larimar. You'll also pick up tips on telling real pieces from fakes.
Macorix House of Rum
A distillery guide leads you among the barrels, explains how Dominican rum is produced and pours a selection of Macorix rums to taste.
Fortaleza San Felipe
Built in the 1500s to keep pirates out of the bay, the fort still has its thick walls and moat. Walk the ramparts and hear how it shaped the city's past.
Cigar workshop
Finish with Dominican tobacco. At a premium cigar workshop you'll see how leaves are selected and rolled, and try it yourself.

Preguntas frecuentes del viaje
Fly into and out of Punta Cana airport (PUJ).
Yes. If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure or book pre-tour accommodation with us, your airport arrival transfer is included. If you choose alternative pre-tour accommodation or arrive by another mode of transport, you’ll need to arrange your own arrival transfer.
Our arrival transfers are private to Soca Islands and are organised in groups based on flight times. Sometimes this means a short wait at the airport until other flights arrive.
There are no scheduled activities on the final day, so feel free to book your departure at your own convenience.
We recommend arriving before 3 pm on Day 1 to make it in time for the welcome event. But don’t worry no matter when you land, we’ll have an airport transfer ready for you.
Please Refer to your government’s travel advice or consult your local consulate. Remember, passport and visa requirements can change, so make sure to stay updated.
Excluding alcohol, we suggest budgeting around USD $40.00 per day for extras.
While we’re not medical professionals, we want to help you prepare for a safe and healthy adventure. Here are some tips:

- Up-to-date medical advice:
- US residents: Check the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.

Please keep in mind that our itinerary, activities, and hotels might change. These adjustments could happen with little notice due to factors like availability, weather conditions, seasonal shifts, or other circumstances beyond our control. Rest assured, we always aim to minimise any impact on your experience. Occasionally, we may tweak the itinerary to try out fresh ideas and keep the adventure exciting.
We believe solo travelers shouldn’t have to pay extra to explore the world. That’s why our group trips are designed around shared accommodation and do not include a single supplement. Solo travelers joining our group trips are paired in twin or multi-share rooms with another traveler of the same sex for the duration of the trip.
Some of our Independent trips are structured differently. For these itineraries, solo travelers will need to book at the single occupancy rate.
Tips are not included in the cost of this tour. Remember, tipping is entirely at your discretion and based on what you feel comfortable with.
