Dominican Republic Holidays
Warm weather, warm people
When people picture the Dominican Republic, they see towering palm trees, powdery soft white sand beaches and luxury all-inclusive resorts. Whilst this is all true, we encourage you to step away from the beach and see this vast country that is waiting for you to explore. Head to the capital Santo Domingo where rich colonial history meets twenty first century skyscrapers in a thriving cosmopolitan, enjoy salsa dancing and great Dominican cuisine until the early hours. For those seeking adventure head to the mountain resort of Jarabacoa offering panoramic views, enjoy river rafting and mountain biking to name a few of the activities on offer.
Fly direct or via North America with regular connections from either New York and Toronto or experience a Dominican city and beach twin-centre with Santo Domingo and La Romana holiday. To make the most of this fascinating country take a look at our range of tours.
