Dominican Republic Tourism & Visitor Guide

Welcome to Dominican Republic!

The Caribbean Sea is a turquoise blue canvas for the smattering of tropical island paradises that stretch southeast from the bottom of Florida, reaching toward South America, Hispaniola being one of the largest. Here, the high equator sun reflects on shards of sand creating dazzling beaches that have long been sought after, first by the native Taino population, then Spain, then France, resulting in an island one-third shared by French-founded Haiti (to the west) and two-thirds shared by the Spanish-dominated Dominican Republic. 

Today, those with a lust for sun and sand seek out the Dominican Republic, which responds with an array of all-inclusive luxury resorts, especially in centres like Punta Cana, Santo Domingo and La Romana. But there is also the option of finding private accommodations in small fishing villages. The Dominican Republic provides a diversity of experiences that include: a lively, metropolitan nightlife in Santo Domingo, the country's capital; whale watching in the Samana Peninsula; one of the Caribbean's top-rated beaches, Playa Rincon; trekking through lush forestation to plunge into the 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua; and whitewater rafting the Rio Yaque del Norte. Swimming with dolphins, scuba diving and dune buggy adventures are also ubiquitous Dominican Republic experiences.
