Punta cana Discovery — Local services in Higüey

I recently took the Santo Domingo tour with Punta Cana Discovery, and it was such a great experience! If you're visiting Punta Cana and want to see the rich history and culture of the Dominican Republic, this tour is a must.

The day started early, but it was totally worth it. Our guide was super knowledgeable and made the 2-hour drive fly by with interesting facts and stories about the country. By the time we arrived in Santo Domingo, I already felt like I had learned so much.

First Stop – The Colonial Zone: We started in the Colonial Zone, which is the heart of Santo Domingo's history. Walking through these old cobblestone streets was like stepping back in time. We saw Alcázar de Colón (Christopher Columbus’ son’s palace) and the first cathedral in the Americas, Catedral Primada de América. The architecture was stunning, and it was fascinating to learn about the history behind each landmark.

Lunch: Lunch was at a local restaurant, and it was delicious! Traditional Dominican food with amazing flavors—rice, beans, plantains, and meat dishes that were seasoned to perfection. The atmosphere was cozy and gave us a true taste of the local culture.

Exploring More of the City: After lunch, we had a chance to visit more modern parts of the city, including the National Palace and the Columbus Lighthouse. It was great to see how the old and new blend together in Santo Domingo. We even had some time to shop for local souvenirs, which was a nice touch.

Final Thoughts: What I loved most about the tour was how well-organized everything was. From pick-up to drop-off, everything ran smoothly. Our guide was friendly and answered all our questions, making the day informative and fun.

I had the most amazing day with Punta Cana Discovery on their Catalina Island excursion! Everything was so well organized, and I felt like I was on a little adventure in paradise.

First off, the boat ride to the island was beautiful. The crew was super friendly, and we had a blast right away. We stopped for snorkeling, which was incredible. The water was so clear, and I saw all kinds of colorful fish—definitely one of the best snorkeling spots I’ve been to!

Catalina Island itself? Wow. Just WOW. The beach was perfect—white sand, bright blue water—it honestly looked like something you’d see in a travel magazine. I spent a lot of time just relaxing and swimming, but there was also plenty of time to explore.

The lunch they served was so delicious! A full Dominican buffet right on the beach. The food was fresh, and there were lots of options, which I loved.

I also felt really safe the whole time. The guides were always checking in on everyone, especially during snorkeling, which made me feel really comfortable. Plus, the boat was super clean and modern.

If you're looking for an unforgettable day trip, I can't recommend Punta Cana Discovery enough! The whole experience was stress-free and packed with fun. I'll definitely be booking with them again next time I'm...
