Additional Information

If you’re a fan of the great outdoors, you can’t miss this adventure! Nestled on the secluded northeastern shore of the Dominican Republic, Los Haitises National Park is a conservation area established in 1976. It boasts a variety of habitats, housing a rich collection of mammals and birds, including some rare breeds. It was once a refuge for pirates and is host to caves featuring taino pictograms and petroglyphs. The park has evolved into a hot spot for ecotourism nowadays and this guide will provide a taste of what you could experience on a tour departing from Punta Cana.

You must experience this - My tour to Los Haitises National Park and Montaña Redonda, led by guide Joel, was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The transfer went smoothly, and we were immediately provided with bottled water and biscuits, which was a welcome surprise and a sign of the organisation's care and attention to detail. The presence of a photographer during the tour was an excellent addition. It allowed us to fully enjoy the experience without worrying about capturing every moment. The professionalism and attention to detail ensured that we had wonderful memories to take home, especially at times when we didn't have time to take photos ourselves. The tour itself was extremely well organised. The places we visited were breathtaking, and the food we were offered was simply fantastic. It is clear that a lot of care and planning went into the tour to ensure that every participant had an unforgettable experience. A particular highlight was the challenge of climbing 50 meters up to see the Jane and Tarzan hut. Not only was this a unique opportunity to explore our adventurous side, but it also offered spectacular views that made the effort well worth it. Joel, our guide, deserves special mention for his expertise, friendliness and ability to keep everyone involved and informed. His passion for the park and the surrounding area was infectious, which made the whole experience even more enriching. In short, this tour to Los Haitises National Park and Montaña Redonda was an unparalleled experience. The combination of beautiful locations, excellent organization, and Joel's contribution as a guide, makes this an adventure that I would recommend to everyone. This is truly a must-do for anyone who wants to experience the natural beauty of the Dominican Republic.

Adventure, culture and fun. A perfect day. - Although a long drive to the start of the first adventure it was worth every minute. Firstly, up Montana Redonda with stunning views out across the sea and inland views of miles of lush landscape. We took swim and an adrenaline rush zip line off the top of Montana Redonda. Next was the mangroves and cave paintings in the magical Los Haitises National Park, genuinely like something out of Jurassic Park! Finally we got to the plantation of enjoy lunch, climbing up to an enormous tree house, jumping off a waterfall and swimming in the river. All this combined with excellent commentary and knowledge through the day from our guide allowing us to learn about and understand the Dominican People, their amazing country, culture and history. Beyond doubt one of the best excursions we've ever done. Highly, highly recommended, you won't be disappointed.

Amazing day trip - This was such an amazing experience!! First stop was Redonda Mountain, the view was spectacular. Next stop was the plantation, where we learned a lot about how coffee and chocolate are made. Had a delicious lunch and got to swim in the waterfall. Last stop was Los Haitises National Park, getting on the water and seeing the mangroves and then the cave was pretty neat. The guide was awesome and very informative. This excursion is all day but it was definitely worth getting out of the resort and getting to see more of the Dominican Republic. Highly recommend!

10/10 experience - I don’t have enough space to explain how amazing this day was!! joel was so knowledgeable about everything-not only does he speak 4+ languages (spanish, english, french and german during our trip) but he made sure to take the time to answer every single question and explain everything we saw in each language. The sights were stunning, and the boat ride through los haitises was unlike anything we had ever seen. we seriously cannot thank Joel enough for this incredible day- you truly get to see so much of the island and learn so much about the beautiful culture of this country. It is a very long day- we were picked up from our hotel at 7:20am and got back at 7:30pm- however in order to see eveything we did you needed that much time. Again I cannot thank joel enough for making this day so enjoyable- each car ride was filled with interesting discussions and each place we stopped was even more beautiful than the next.
