What you'll See on Your All
Inclusive Rainforest Beach Holiday
Places to Visit on your All
Inclusive Rainforest Beach Holiday
Los Haitises National Park:
Part of the largest estuary in the Caribbean, Los Haitises National
Park is located in the northeast of the Dominican along the Samana
Peninsula. The possibilities for exploration in the park are endless.
Visitors will be treated to lush subtropical rainforest, mangroves
and keys that run along the coast as well as dazzling waterfalls.
Samana is an eco-tourism destination and they’ve done an
excellent job of preserving the park and rainforest so they’ll
be around for future generations of environment-minded travelers.
As such, tourists can only enter the park with an official guide.
While this may seem a hindrance at first, the guides deliver
an excellent tour and are not very expensive – a
great way to explore on your all inclusive rainforest beach holiday.
El Limon Waterfalls
The waterfalls at El Limon are another awe-inspiring site to take
in on your all inclusive rainforest beach holiday. The falls are
located within the lush rainforest not very far from Samana and
stand a staggering 180 feet. There are four access points to the
falls and guided tours through the rainforest via horseback
have been set up – a great family excursion! Enjoy a picnic
lunch and take a dip in the freshwater pools at the base of the
falls.
The area of the forest around the falls is very picturesque –
beautiful local houses painted in incredibly bright colors. This
area was originally populated by Ciguayos Indians hundreds of years
ago, but they were driven out of the area by the Spaniards in the
16th century. The population there today stems from hundreds of
freed American slaves that were invited to emigrate to the area
in the 1800s. Many of the local inhabitants speak English to this
day.
Rainforest Tours from Punta Cana
There are rainforest tours advertised from Punta Cana, either by
horseback or by Jeep. These tours are a lot of fun and very interesting
as they meander through local villages. Keep in mind that the rainforest
around Punta Cana is in the lowlands and might not be what
you’re expecting. You need to take a pretty significant
drive from Punta Cana to get to those mountainous jungle-type rainforest
tours that most tourists envision.
Rock Climbing
The number of world-class rock climbing walls is perhaps the best
kept secret in the DR. You will find some of the best rock climbing
anywhere on your all inclusive rainforest beach holiday in Dominican
Republic. There are several great locations available all over the
country and our All Inclusive Resorts create the perfect home base
for your adventure.
The cliffs at El Fronton beach in the Samana Peninsula offer climbs
ranging from simple rocking to 5.15 level ascents that even the
best climbers in the world find challenging. This is a climber’s
paradise – getting to El Fronton beach is half the
adventure, a short hike through the rainforest followed by a boat
ride across the bay take you to this what the less adventurous would
call an inaccessible location.
Cascading
The Dominican Republic is the world’s premier adventure tourism
destination and cascading is the perfect activity to add to your
all inclusive rainforest beach holiday. Cascading is an extreme
sport that is a mix of water slides and cliff jumping.
The Cascades at Imbert, about 20km from Puerto Plata, are a great
location to try out this sport. The sport involves basically swimming
down stream and jumping off the 28 series of waterfalls into the
clear freshwater pools at the base of the falls. The jumps range
in height from a few meters to a final fearful leap from the biggest
waterfall on the river.
The whole length of the cascades, you’re swimming through
waterways bordered by incredible limestone walls and beautiful rainforest.
You won’t soon forget your first cascading adventure.
Dominican Rainforest Tips:
- Bring lots of water with you as the humid climate in the rainforest
will dehydrate you quickly.
Pack mosquito repellent as mosquitoes breed in freshwater pools
and lakes scattered around the rainforest.
Good hiking shoes are a must
Some areas require a guide and some don’t – you tend
to get a lot more out of your trek if you take a guide with you.
There is an unending supply of possibilities
on an all inclusive rainforest beach holiday in Dominican Republic
– the only prerequisite is a sense of adventure!
