Immerse yourself in the charms of the Dominican Republic on this safari truck tour of Higüey and the sugar cane plantations. Plus, you'll enjoy a boat trip on the Chavón River!

Description

At 9 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Boca Chica and board the safari trucks ready to explore the southern Dominican Republic.

During the truck safari, we'll drive over mud flats and uneven terrain, providing an opportunity to photograph the extensive sugar cane plantations surrounding the Dominican village of Benérito.

We'll visit a weighing station and a local village, known as a batey, where you'll meet the farmers, learn about their way of life, and enjoy a tasting of sugar cane.

The tour continues to the city of Higüey, where you'll see how Dominican cigars are made at an organic tobacco factory. After visiting the central market and the Basilica of the Virgin of Altagracia, you will have a delicious Dominican lunch.

Finally, you'll have time for a dip in the Chavón River and enjoy a cruise aboard a traditional boat with a wooden roof. Afterwards, we'll return to the truck and head back to the hotels in Boca Chica, arriving around 5 pm.
