Dominican Life & Flavors

Explore the real authentic rural and city life of the Dominican Republic in small groups.
Get away from the resorts and explore the true authentic life of the Dominican Republic on a guided tour. Visit the surrounding areas of Bayahibe as well as the third largest city in the country, La Romana, and learn about both the rural and the city life of the locals as well as the making and harvesting of some of the country’s main export products, such as sugar cane, cocoa, coffee, and cigars.

Start your day early in the morning and journey deep into the rural countryside. Visit the Bayahibe village and head to one of the local cigar factories. Discover all the secrets of this trade from its owner and try out and buy local cigars accompanied by the famous vitamin R (rum).

Next, visit the sugar cane fields and see the locals at work. Learn all about the making and harvesting of one of the main agricultural products of the Dominican Republic – the sugar cane. Don’t forget to taste one, freshly cut. Visit the local Haitian village and explore the lifestyle of this largest ethnic minority of the country.

Visit a local school where you can meet the kids. Greet them, play with them, take pictures, and maybe even bring them some gifts.

Afterward, drive to a local ranch and dive into the processes of the making and harvesting of cocoa and coffee. Get the chance to taste and purchase these products in their pure organic form.

Once done with the countryside part of the trip, head to La Romana to explore the city life of the Dominicans. Ride through the town exploring the surroundings and stop at the local supermarket and fruit and vegetable markets where you can buy local products for a much more reasonable price as opposed to what you encounter in the resort area.
