Transport
Sevärdheterna var fantastiska. Även resan dit då man fick se mycket av natur och samhällen. Däremot väldigt irriterande med att pick up på hotellet var 30 min försenad. Lång väntan på större bussen. Den stora bussen var för liten, inte sittplatser till alla! Bussen körde upp till sidan av motorvägen där vi fick sitta i över 1 timme innan ny buss kom. Besviken på den mediokra lunchen. Salladsblad, tomat, kyckling och fisk med vatten eller Cola till. Betalar man över 2000:- förväntar man sig mer.
If dreamy islands and pristine nature are your thing, then this three-in-one tour is a must-do. It's a perfect mix of landscapes and seascapes, action and relaxation. You'll explore mountains, caves and beaches at Cayo Levantado, Los Haitises National Park and Encantada Mountain – a 100% Dominican experience. Ramon, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Los Haitises is a haven for birds. You'll likely spot the endemic and endangered Ridgway's hawk, the Hispaniolan piculet, the Hispaniolan woodpecker, the Hispaniolan emerald, as well as pelicans, frigate birds, herons and many more birds in flight.'
From Punta Cana, you'll set off through the Anamuya mountain range en route to the top of Montaña Encantada. Drink in the epic views of the tropical landscape rippling down to the coast, or relax on one of the swings and hammocks. Then it's off to Canitas, where you'll hop aboard a speedboat and zoom across Samana Bay to Cayo Levantado. This little island out in the bay is known for its blissful beaches. After time to swim, snorkel or sunbathe here, you'll enjoy a tasty lunch of fresh local fish, beachside.
But there's more. You'll also discover abundant natural beauty in Los Haitises National Park. Weave through the rocky islets by boat and look out for wildlife in the thick vegetation. Visiting a cave once inhabited by the indigenous Taino people, you'll see their ancient petroglyphs and pictographs – cave art – before passing through a natural mangrove on your return.
