Tour Details
Two of the Dominican Republic's best beaches in one day. Playa Rincón, more than 4 km of turquoise water with no resorts, hotels or buildings behind it, and Cayo Levantado, a small palm-covered island in Samaná Bay.
Your day starts with a morning ride from your hotel on the new road past the fishing town of Miches and the Anamuya mountains. At Las Cañitas you board a luxury catamaran with a restroom and drinks on board, then a safari truck takes you up through the mountains to Playa Rincón.
Spend the middle of the day on the sand: swim, walk the shore or go for a horseback ride, and enjoy a typical Dominican lunch with fresh lobster. In the afternoon the catamaran sails to Cayo Levantado for a Coco Loco and a last swim before the ride back.
About 12 hours with round-trip A/C hotel transport. Adults $169, kids 3–10 $99, free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
