Situated in Puerto Plato, this tour includes what is purported to be the world's largest dolphin pool in which you can swim and play with dolphins. Snorkeling in the Tropical Reef Aquarium is also possible. While there you will meet tigers, learn about marine mammals and feed exotic birds.
There is a walk through the tropical rainforest and you can see the shark show. At the end of the day, the Bravissimo Show features dancing to Caribbean rhythms by dancers dressed in the style of Las Vegas.
This is an eco-friendly tour that includes a breakfast of tropical fruit, a walk in the forest, an hour's tour around a cave seeing stalactites and stalagmites. There's also a horseback ride and a walk back to the ranch for more Dominican food. As this is quite a physical tour, children under 11 are not allowed and it does not have facilities for anyone physically challenged.
Sail to the beach of La Palmilla, via the Port of Bayahibe. During the trip you will see some extraordinary scenery and be pampered with food and drink. Coral will be visible en route. Arriving at La Palmilla beach, you can relax and enjoy the sand and sea. A barbeque lunch is provided with Dominican-style mixed salads and cocktails.
Collected from your hotel, the jeep takes you on a tour during which you experience a jungle boat river crossing; a merengue show while you lunch; cocktails all day long; and you visit a Dominican family in their traditional mountain home. You will also see a fruit plantation, an outback riverside ranch and native animals such as iguanas, crocodiles and turtles.
These tours in the Dominican Republic cost from around $79 to $119 each, as of January 2011.
