Why Dominican Republic?

Grab your swimsuit, your favourite sunnies, and slap on the sun cream as you get ready for the trip of a lifetime in the Dominican Republic. From snorkelling to horse riding, scuba diving, to whale watching, there are plenty of adrenaline-inducing activities to get stuck into in this tropical paradise. Holidays to the Dominican Republic are NOTHING like you’ve ever experienced, that’s for sure!

Immerse yourself in nature, saunter down colourful colonial backstreets, and soak up the sun in one of the Caribbean’s most popular holiday destinations. Feel happiest by the sea? Dig your toes into soft, white sand as you inhale the sweet scents of Punta Cana’s coconut-studded coastline. Looking for a bit of adventure? There’s no better way to see Samaná’s lush green rainforests and brilliant blue waters than by hurtling through the skies at 40mph – on a Tarzan-inspired zipline tour, of course.

If your heart belongs to the city, a Dominican Republic holiday wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the capital. Get lost for hours taking in the old-world charm of Santo Domingo’s Colonial Zone, or dance merengue well into the night in the city’s bustling bars.

Oh, and we’re certainly not forgetting about the food! Sink your teeth into sun-ripened guava as you laze around on the beach, or hit up the street food stalls for flaky, melt-in-the-mouth empanadas you’ll be craving for years to come.

Whether you’re looking for family-friendly fun, a chill romantic escape, or a chance to show off your dance moves, a holiday in the Dominican Republic is guaranteed to help you cross a truckload of things off your travel bucket list!
