What to expect

This half-day trip to Xploration Animal Park has family fun stamped all over it. Don't believe us? One of our guides, Noel, gives it his own seal of approval. ‘I'm a father of four, and because we live close to the park, it's one of our favourite places to visit. Whenever I'm guiding this tour, I arrive with a smile on my face, knowing I'll be spending the day surrounded by beautiful landscapes and incredible animals.'

You'll be picked up and taken on a scenic voyage into the hills of Nisibon in the northeast of the Dominican Republic. On arrival at Xploration, there's a presentation on the park from one of our expert guides. It's Noel's favourite part of the tour. ‘I love explaining the differences between our animals and how they help us work the land,' he says.

Jump aboard the bus for a panoramic drive around the park, or head out on foot to find your own hidden viewpoints over the landscape. You'll spot the likes of rabbit, deer, ostrich and emu, plus see cows being milked. Enjoy a drink and snack as well as time to meet the farm animals, including goats, sheep and pigs. What's more, all visits support the park's dog rescue shelter. And, as the heat ramps up, cool down with the option to kayak, paddleboard or bamboo raft. For Noel, this part of the experience brings back great memories. He says, ‘When I was younger, my family and I used to come and fish at the River Maimon. I remember those days well and want guests to make memories with their own families here, too.'

    We can’t recommend this excursion enough! It was amazing from the minute we got the transport to the park. We arrived and our tour guide July told us exactly what we would be doing on the trip…. He’s a credit to the tour. The driver and all the staff at the eco park were friendly, hospitable and all deserve lots of praise. All the animals were well cared for and the place was magical with the animals roaming around freely. Did paddle boarding and kayaking on the beautiful river - AMAZING!!!!

Punta Cana – kveldstur i buggy med dominikansk middag

Punta Cana – kveldstur i buggy med dominikansk middag

Denne opplevelsen er preget av eventyr. Turer i terrengbuggy eller safaribil, tradisjonelle Taino-seremonier og bading i underjordiske bassenger sørger for en adrenalinpumpende kveld fra Punta Cana. Juan, en av våre lokale guider, sier: "Grotter og cenoter spilte en viktig rolle i den opprinnelige tainokulturen. Til tross for at de ser så fristende ut med sitt kjølige akvamarinblå vann, svømte Taino-folket aldri i cenotene eller brukte vannet fordi de trodde at de var en port til underverdenen". I tillegg får du en dominikansk middag og en åpen bar etterfulgt av levende musikk.Vi starter den actionfylte kvelden med å kjøre gjennom den dominikanske landsbygda og suse langs støvete veier der vi ser hvordan landskapet forvandles fra dag til natt. Vi fortsetter turen med lommelykter for å ta en svømmetur i et naturlig grottebasseng, en såkalt cenote, med stemningsfull belysning. Og hvis du velger turen med safaritruck, får du også besøke Yaragrottens uhyggelige dyp.Med flammende fakler som lyser opp veien, tar vi oss tilbake til basen for en velfortjent drink og en velsmakende middag med lokale retter. Restaurantpersonalet er stolte av å lage klassiske dominikanske retter, tilberedt med sesongens råvarer fra øya. Kvelden rundes av med et tradisjonelt taino-danseshow og muligheten til å ta en boogie eller nyte den åpne baren under stjernene.

Double-deck catamaran cruise at sunset from Punta Cana

Does it get much more glamorous than sailing around the Caribbean on a catamaran at sunset? The answer is yes, especially when you add an extra deck to the boat and include a stop at one of Punta Cana's top beach clubs for dinner. That's what you can expect on this laidback outing. You'll set sail on the coast and head to a quiet sandbar, where you can stretch out on the sand or swim with the tropical fish that call the area home. Then, you'll drop anchor at a swanky beach club for dinner – the meal is the surf-and-turf kind.
