Santo Domingo Day Trip

Explore the historic center of the Dominican Republic's capital on our Santo Domingo Day Trip from Boca Chica. You will visit the lighthouse, the Alcazar de Colón, the Cathedral of Santa María la Menor, and the Three Eyes Cave.

Santo Domingo Day Trip

Between 9 am and 10 am, we will pick you up from your hotel in Boca Chica and head to the historic capital. The day trip begins at Three Eyes National Park, where we will see the freshwater lake and cave, followed by a visit to the Columbus Lighthouse.

After a brief stop at the National Palace, we will have a buffet lunch featuring Dominican dishes like rice, meat stews, and beans. Post-lunch, we will take a walking tour of the colonial area of Santo Domingo. This includes visiting the Basilica Cathedral of Santa María la Menor and the Plaza de España to view the Ozama River and the Alcázar de Colón.

The tour continues along the Via de Las Damas, where we will see the National Pantheon and the Jesuit Church. We will explore the lively streets with art exhibitions, cafes, and craft stalls, including a visit to the Larimar and Amber shop-workshop. Finally, we will enjoy a view of the Caribbean Sea before returning to Boca Chica, estimated arrival back at your hotel around 5 pm.

Temporary closures

The Alcazar de Colon is currently closed for remodelling. During this period, we will replace this visit with a tour of the Museum of the Royal Houses (Museo de las Casas Reales).
