Overview

What sets our Higüey & Punta Cana Cultural City Tour apart is that it is not a conventional sightseeing excursion, but an authentic immersion in Dominican culture. Our tour combines history, gastronomy, traditions and nature in one day, allowing travellers to experience what is not normally shown in hotels.

Unlike other tours, here visitors not only know iconic monuments such as the Basilica of Higüey, but also experience local life: they taste coffee, cacao and mamajuana, visit natural caves used by Taíno, enjoy a Creole lunch, ride for a few minutes and bathe in freshwater rivers.
