Top 10 Cultural Tours in Punta Cana, La Altagracia Province

June 23, 2021 Natalie Tallman

Among the best golf destinations in the world, Punta Cana is the very picture of leisure. Several of the courses have been designed by professional golfers, making for the perfect sort of kicked-back challenge that you want on a golfing vacation. The beaches here are simply perfect: calm, warm waters that gently lap at stretches of fine white sand. Thrill yourself with a zip-line adventure, clap along with traditional Dominican music at a cultural performance, or explore the magical lagoons of the Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park.

Had an excellent time. Breath taking views. Swimming with the star fish at the sand bar in blur clear crystal waters was enjoyable. Wish could have been there a little longer to snorkel. Saona Island is georgios. Loved the lay out and the beach was clean and well maintained Only part that I didn't care for was on arrival prior to getting on the boat, locals were there selling merchandise. 2 young men one with an iguana and another with a monkey corner my daughter and I, Took her phone and started taking pictures. Than they demanded $20 for the pictures that they took on her cell phone without our approval. So a total of $40. I said no , I started to walk away and they continued to follow us to the boat. At one point they had their hand on my backpack. I told them again, NO and got on the boat.

Would you like to walk in the footsteps of Christopher Columbus? Of course you would!  That's why we're inviting you to our exclusive excursion from Punta Cana to Santo Domingo.  We're giving YOU the opportunity to experience, first hand, the birth of European civilization in the Americas. The first cathedral, paved road, university, hospital, stone home, tavern, etc are all located within a 16 block radius in Santo Domingo's Colonial Zone or "Old City".  Oh and did we mention the Colonial Zone is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1992? How many World Heritage Sites have you been to? This is how your day shakes down... From Punta Cana you head west through rolling sugar cane fields until we reach the Dominican Republic's capital city. Now, you're in the thick of it, witnessing everyday life for millions of Dominicans; your walled off resort is far from this reality.

I’m not one to write reviews however the experience we had with Charles was beyond amazing!! This was our first time working with Charles and he assured us we would be in good hands. He planned and coordinated all of our excursions and helped us navigate a few last minute changes on our end. His communication and attention to detail is priceless and I’m only booking with Charles moving forward.

Took the tour with my wife and we both wanted to drive so we opted for the ATV vs. Buggy. Took us to a plantation with a little gig about the Cocoa (chocolate), Arabica coffee, tobacco and Macajuanna. They give you some samples and try and sell you some. I bought some cigars and they were great! Next we went to Macao beach which I also reviewed but in short it's cool. Lastly we went to a Cenote "Water cave" were you could swim in a very small beautiful cave with baby blue waters. It was quite packed though and way too many people at once in a small area in my opinion, with this happening during Covid restrictions. All in all a good time and I would recommend.
