About this activity
After pickup from your Punta Cana hotel you will leave the city and travel towards Higuey, the largest city in the Dominican Republic's eastern region. The excursion makes a stop at a local school where the safari team sponsors a community project that benefits several villages with basic education.
Leaving Higuey, you will take a turn towards the Cordillera Oriental Mountain Range, averaging some 900 feet above sea level, before heading deep into the Dominican countryside. The safari truck then passes by two rural ranches where you'll learn about and taste several genuine Dominican products: cocoa, coffee, tobacco, and mamajuana (widely considered a natural aphrodisiac).

The experience of driving through the city and small villages is what made this a great tour. The stops are a bit staged and rushed, but the real joy is getting out and about with a knowledgeable tour guide who can give you a brief insight into the daily lives of locals. Our guide was great and it was a nice experience for our family. We always try to visit a local school when we travel abroad so our kids have a chance to see the difference in their educational opportunities vs. other parts of the world. We went in the summer therefore school was not in session, but it was still a nice glimpse into the education system.
Fantastic tour. Our tour guides were the best and it was a great day for sightseeing and learning about the culture and history in the Dominican Republic. Please note take extra money to purchase some locally grown products from the families you visit.
