Day 1: Arriving into the Dominican Republic’s Showcase Resort

We start our trip to the Dominican Republic in Punta Cana. This is also where we are based for the entire duration of our tour. It is from here we make daily excursions, which are packed with culture and excitement. Today we pick you up from the airport and take you to your hotel. Let's check out Bavaro. It is the most popular white-sand beach in the Punta Cana area.

Day 2: An Open Bar on & Catamaran Ride to Catalina Island as Well as Visiting a Mediterranean-Style Village

We are taken this morning to a dock near to La Romana. There we take the catamaran departure to Catalina Island. Lunch is included today, as is an open bar once on Catalina Island. The island offers a diverse preservation of ecosystems, including sand dunes, mangroves...

Day 3: The Caribbean's Most Underrated City, Colonial Santo Domingo

Today we visit the oldest permanent European settlement of the New World, Santo Domingo. There we are provided with a guided tour. The colonial zone is an architectural gem that truly feels detached from the rest of the city. Think of attractive Spanish era squares, m...

Day 4: A Protected Virgin Forest, Riding Through Mangroves & Another Open Bar

Today we are taken to Los Haitises National Park. There we take a boat through mangroves as well as swim at the beautiful Punta Arena beach. Lunch is included today, as is an open bar. Los Haitises National Park is a protected virgin forest with little road access. Th...

Day 5: Another Open Bar on the Country's Most Popular Yet "Deserted" Island

We take a morning catamaran or speedboat departure to Saona Island. Lunch and an open bar on the island are included today. Saona Island is a popular destination for tourists from all over the Dominican Republic, who arrive daily in fleets of catamarans and small moto...

Day 6: Our Tour Ends This Morning

Transportation will be arranged for you to reach the airport in Punta Cana.

Logistics

What's excluded

    • Flights
    • International flights are not included in the price. However, we would be happy to assist you in finding airfare upon request.
    • Insurance
    • Although travel insurance is not included in the price, we can recommend a company which provides comprehensive coverage. Note all customers are required to have travel insurance for this tour.
    • Additional Services
    • Alcohol
    • Additional nights accomodation
    • Travel Visa (only applicable to citizens of certain countries)

Accommodation

,Below are the names of the hotels where we commonly have our travelers stay. Note this is subject to availability. Our tours include the first night of accommodation, the hotel included is always selected as 4-5 Star by American standards - always unique and great customer service. We can also book 3 Star and boutique properties on behalf of our guests. Please inquire if interested. For this tour, you would be staying the whole time in Punta Cana. It is always from there you would make daily excursions. We most commonly have our customers stay at Occidental Caribe or El Embajador or Melia Caribe. Keep Note this is subject to availability. This tour includes lodging for 1 night. However, upon request, we can book accommodation for you for all nights at an establishment which meets your needs. For years, we automatically included 5-star hotels in our travel packages. In the interest of our customers, we ultimately decided to reduce the price of our tours and encourage specifically those with higher expectations to simply request room upgrades. Why? Some of our customers want simple and clean but ultimately cheap rooms. Some of our customers want 4-star hotels and are willing to pay more. Others want nothing short of 5-star extravagance. There isn’t a way to uphold ONE standard for hotels in our travel packages considering everyone has a different budget. What we CAN uphold are the standard and quality of our tours, all of which offer nothing short of a first-class experience. Again, upon request, we can upgrade your room type for the night included as well as book lodging for all nights on this tour. Let us know and we will provide you with pricing options.
Cancellation policy

What Happens If I Cancel This Trip?

To confirm your tour, full payment is needed at the time of your purchase. However, refunds are offered. You will receive a full refund if canceling at least 91 days in advance from the departure date. Cancelling between 90-60 days prior to departure entitles you to a 50 percent refund. Cancelling between 59-31 days prior to departure entitles you to a 25 percent refund. Canceling 30 days or less prior to departure is not eligible for a refund. Cancellation requests need to be made by email and become effective on the date received by CharlieTheTraveler.

What Happens If You, CharlieTheTraveler, Cancel This Trip?

In the unlikely event CharlieTheTraveler needs to cancel this trip, such as because of very poor weather conditions, we will give you a full refund for the tour within 14 business days of the cancellation. Note: We are not a participant in the California Travel Consumer Restitution Fund, nor is this transaction covered by the Restitution Fund.

Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance alongside your travel package to safeguard against unforeseen circumstances such as medical expenses, trip cancellations, and other contingencies. It offers you peace of mind and ensures you are prepared for unexpected events that may occur before or during your journey
Visa requirements
Visa requirements vary depending on your country of origin and your country of destination. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the relevant requirements. For a handy tool that can help you quickly find the requirements, please visit this link .
Meals Included

CharlieTheTraveler runs over 20 tours at this current time. Our meal inclusions and exclusions are pretty much the same for each tour. Breakfast and dinner are not included. Lunches are included specifically when making a daytrip via boat. Otherwise, they are not. We are very picky about food and refuse to accept anything short of quality. We do our best to ensure you are being offered healthy and tasty local cuisine.

Age Requirements
No age restrictions
Although we get customers of all ages and from several countries, our statistics show most people who book are 30 to 65 years old and from USA, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. We welcome your kids specifically and only when the tour is exclusive to you and your group-meaning other customers are not joining you. We define kids as anyone under 18 years old. In order to make the tour exclusive to you and your group, your booking would need to be for 4 persons or more for any of our tours except Iceland. For our Iceland tour, your booking would need to be for 8 persons or more. Regarding the cost of bringing a non-adult, we do deduct from the total based on the amount of activities you request we remove from the tour. Note that reducing the total price of the tour by removing activities is something offered for non-adults only. Adults can opt out of activities but the total price does not change.
Optional Activities
  • Lodging x 1 Night only
  • Open Bar x 3 Days
  • Lunches x 3
  • Air-Conditioned Vehicle
  • All Entry Fees
  • Private Transportation
  • Tour Guides
Additional Information

Our tour guides/drivers are licensed, speak English and know how to bring excitement to your day. What we deliver is the complete opposite of the cookie-cutting tours the big corporations offer, leaving you in complete boredom. Although our tour guides/drivers are attentive, accommodating and engaged, they also know when to give you your private space and free time. It's a perfect balance. *Female guides are available upon request.

Note that although virtually all activities on this multi-day tour are shared with other travelers, we can at least make the land tours (exploring the city of Santo Domingo and the village of Altos de Chavon) completely private, per your request.
