Day Trip Details

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Punta Cana and set off for Santo Domingo. First, we'll visit the Los Tres Ojos grotto to see the freshwater lakes. Then we'll visit the Columbus Lighthouse and stop outside the Presidential Palace to observe its neoclassical architecture.

Next, we'll explore the historic center, starting with the temple of Santa María de La Encarnación and the Cathedral Primada de America. We'll stroll along the Calle de las Damas and visit the National Pantheon. Afterward, we'll walk through the Plaza de España to admire the Alcázar de Colón and its interior.

We'll then enjoy a delicious buffet lunch with typical dishes in a historic restaurant, including non-alcoholic drinks. After replenishment, we'll proceed to the Malecón to enjoy the Caribbean Sea view.

Finally, we'll return you to your hotel, with an arrival time between 9 and 11.5 hours after pickup.

Tour with Aquarium Visit

This option includes a visit to the National Aquarium of the Dominican Republic near the Malecón. There, you'll see marine species, including sea turtles and a tunnel with sharks and manta rays. After the aquarium, we will return to your hotel in Santo Domingo.

Temporary Closures

The Alcázar de Colón will be closed on Mondays; we will take a panoramic tour of its exterior instead. It will remain closed for remodeling until further notice. We will substitute this with a tour of the Museum of the Royal Houses. Some museums will be closed for maintenance on Mondays, and we will see them from the outside.
