Tours and excursions to the Dominican Republic have two main focuses. First, there are several historic cities where you can explore the ruins of fortresses, ancient temples, and museums with the history of the conquest and exploration of the New World. Secondly, there are the numerous nature reserves, mangroves, palm trees, picturesque lagoons, and other natural beauties of the land.
So a vacation in the Dominican Republic can be not only beach and fun but also quite active. Reviews about excursions in the Dominican Republic mention a few of the main routes that may interest guests.
For example, this is the city of Santo Domingo. Familiarize yourself with its culture and history can be quite inexpensive. On average, the prices for excursions in the cities of the Dominican Republic cost from 90 to 150 USD. This is a participation in a group tour, during which you will show you the main historical monuments of the ancient city and tell you in detail about the past of this country.
Individual walks are two to three times more expensive, their price depends on what language the tour is in and how much time the guide will spend on you. A jeep safari in one or another area of the island, for example, in the vicinity of the reserves, will cost about 200 USD.
Excursions to the "city of artists" Altos de Chavon, a modern Dominican attraction, will cost you 100-150 USD. Excursions to the Fun Fun Cave (or Devil's Cave) cost around 150 USD. A walk to the Samana Peninsula or Catalina Island can cost up to 200 USD.
The country's many wildlife preserves are also open to the public. You can read more about these national parks in the section dedicated to Dominican Republic attractions.
