Things To Do
Water sports, swimming with dolphins, white water rafting, Jeep safaris, horse riding, fishing, golf and diving – there's no shortage of things to do on holidays in the Dominican Republic. When it comes to excursions, you're spoilt for choice too. Visit the capital city of Santa Domingo to find out more about this country's fascinating history. Take a shopping trip to cigar shop and markets laden with colourful crafts. Don't miss the chance to rush through the jungle treetops on a zip wire, or a lazy boat trip to one of the surrounding paradise islands.
Food & Drink
Local food in the Dominican Republic is a tasty mix of Caribbean, African and Spanish flavours. In larger resorts and hotels, you'll find an enormous choice of international restaurants covering cuisines from Italian to Chinese and old fast food favourites. Don't miss a taste of the locally-produced rum.
In The Evening
In the north of the island, purpose-built Playa Dorada offers an array of all-inclusive hotels with buzzing nightlife options, including clubs, casinos and cocktail bars. You'll find a similar choice of places to head in the all-inclusive resorts of Bahia Maimon and Sosua. Down south, near La Romana and Punta Cana, the pace of life is a little more chilled out, with local Merengue shows and cold drinks at sunset the order of the day (or night.)
