Los Haitises National Park Day Trip

Embark on an exciting journey through a breathtaking place in the Dominican Republic on our Los Haitises National Park Day Trip. You'll see rivers, mangroves and lots of local wildlife.

Tour Options

At the time of booking, you can choose from two different options, both starting at the Altos de Caño Hondo hotel at the specified time. Below, you’ll find the details for each option:

2.5-hour Tour

We'll meet at the Altos de Caño Hondo hotel at your chosen time and set off on our adventure. We'll arrive at the marina and board a boat to depart from Sabana de la Mar towards Los Haitises National Park.

We'll sail along the Caño Hondo River through red mangroves until we reach San Lorenzo Bay. Expect to see rocky mogotes and wildlife like pelicans and kingbirds. Look for 700 different species of plants in the area.

After the boat trip, we'll enter both Arena and Linea Cave, which feature petroglyphs and paintings from indigenous populations 750 years ago. These paintings depict animals, deities, and humans in black and grey shades.

After this caving experience, we'll return to the boat and continue exploring the national park, looking for manatees, dolphins, and other marine mammals. We’ll finish the day trip and return to the starting point, arriving 2.5 hours after departure.

3.5-hour Tour

This option follows the same itinerary, exploring the mangroves, San Lorenzo Bay, and Arena and La Linea caves.

After these visits, we will venture into the Owl Cave, known for its owl nests. You will observe local flora and fauna, including various bird species within this unique ecosystem.

Finally, we'll return to the meeting point and conclude after 3.5 hours of activity.
