Things to do
Memorable moment...
Swim with dolphins at Ocean World, Puerto Plata, learning to use trainers' hand signals to communicate with your new friends.
Things to do
Come face to face with the gentle nurse shark at Ocean World, in the world's first shark interaction pool. Hope for a free tipple on a guided tour of the Brugal Rum distillery. Take a cable car to the top of Mount Isabela de Torres for spectacular views. Speed down the waterslides at the biggest waterpark in the Caribbean. Hover above the island in a helicopter for a bird's eye view.
Explore your destination
Outback Jeep Safari
A firm favourite, taking in the island's real tastes, sights and way of life by open-top jeep, you'll scramble through villages and tropical scenery before boogie-boarding at a beautiful beach. With an open bar all day, this is non-stop fun.
POP from approx. £39pp (adult); £19pp (child)
PUJ from approx. £42pp
Helicopter Rides
A sightseeing tour in the sky, this is an unforgettable and thrilling experience. The best way to see the island, you'll spot turquoise waters, picture postcard beaches and dancing palm trees with a bird's-eye view of Punta Cana or Puerto Plata.
POP from approx. £37/£103pp (adult)
PUJ from approx. £37pp (adult)
Ocean World Dolphins
Making friends with Ocean World's playful dolphins is the experience of a lifetime: you'll feed them, hug them and even steal a kiss. A memorable day, you'll also see acrobatic sea lions, fearsome sharks and a white tiger taking a dip.
POP from approx. £57/£77pp (adult); £42/£64pp (child)
Saona Island
To taste the real Caribbean, a trip to Saona Island is perfect; you'll cruise in a catamaran, chill on soft white sands, swim in crystal waters and zoom across the sea in a speedboat, in true James Bond style.

PUJ from approx. £48pp

Food and drink
Food on the Dominican Republic's North Coast is all about hearty stews and curries, packed with spices and coconut milk. Sancocho, a meat and vegetable stew, is a big favourite. As with most beach destinations, the seafood is fresh and tasty. Try Pescado con coco, fish in a creamy coconut sauce, and wash your meal down with a local rum cocktail.
