After picking up the customers from the different hotels in Punta Cana, we're gonna make our way to the main destination of the day, the beautiful National Park of Los Haitises, located in the province of Hato Mayor. Thanks to the new Miches highway the driving time will be around 2 hours and on the way you will have the chance to enjoy beautiful views of the Dominican countryside.
During our journey we will have an intermediate stop in a souvenir shop to have a light breakfast and use the toilet before continuing our trip. We'll pass through the town of Sabana de la Mar and after around half an hour we'll finally reach the remote National Park of Los Haitises.
From the main port of Los Haitises National Park, called Caño Hondo (Deep Creek), we’ll leave on a small boat. Wearing life jackets we will enjoy the red mangrove forest path until we arrive in San Lorenzo Bay, a collection of huge limestone mountain islands called Mogotes. We’ll adventure deeper into the park to explore caves such as the Cueva de la Arena and Cueva de la Linea. Caves in the reserve were used as shelter by the Taino Indians and, later, by hiding pirates. After visiting Los Haitises National Park we will go back to the port where our trip started.
At this time you must be hungry! Tuck into a delicious Dominican lunch served at the gorgeous location of Paraiso Caño Hondo. Located at the outskirts of Los Haitises National Park, Paraíso Caño Hondo is an unique Eco-lodge, ranked by Forbes Magazine as one of the 10 best ecological destinations in the world. Lunch is served in an open buffet with a great variety of typical Dominican food and cocktails. After lunch you can take a refreshing dip in the natural pools and relax for a while before getting back to the bus to start our return trip.
We’ll ride in the opposite direction to start our way back to Punta Cana but our tour has not finished yet. Once we reach the town of Miches we will stop again to enjoy and discover the 3rd and last destination of the day: the beautiful Montaña Redonda and its breathtaking views! This place is a must see in the Dominican Republic. An isolated 1,000 ft mountain nestled almost on the shoreline, Montaña Redonda provides spectacular panoramic views for miles and miles around. We’ll climb the mountain in open-air trucks, safari style.
At the end of the tour, you and your party will be driven back to your hotel in Punta Cana.
