THE ITINERARY:

A transport will be waiting for you at the taxi stand, at the cruise port exit, where all participants from the same boat as yours will gather. The driver will take you to our Bayahibe office, the starting point of the excursion.

Welcome aboard the exciting adventure offered by Dominican Attitude! For an unforgettable experience, immerse yourself in the natural and cultural beauty of the Dominican Republic during our half-day buggy excursion, specially designed for cruise ship travelers.

The journey begins amidst lush valleys, where sugarcane fields stretch as far as the eye can see, creating a spectacular panorama. The off-road buggies will allow you to traverse these vast expanses comfortably and enjoyably, all while discovering the sugarcane harvesting process, an essential economic pillar of the region.

Along the way, you will also explore plantain banana plantations, an iconic culture of the Dominican Republic. Your senses will be awakened by the various shades of green from the lush leaves, while our experienced guides share fascinating anecdotes about the history and importance of this tropical culture.

Continuing our route, the excursion will take you to an authentic Dominican ranch, where you will be welcomed by warm locals. Immerse yourself in the daily life of the community by participating in a tasting of cassava and plantain banana, two staple ingredients in local cuisine. Savor these traditional delights prepared with love, all while engaging with residents for an enriching cultural immersion.

The next stage of this thrilling adventure will lead you to the picturesque Chavon River. Enjoy a welcome break, where you can relax by the water's edge, take beautiful photos, or even dive into the refreshing waters of the river.

This buggy experience, blending adventure and cultural discovery, will be etched in your memory as one of the most memorable moments of your cruise stopover in the Dominican Republic. Dominican Attitude is delighted to share this slice of paradise with you, combining nature, culture, and authentic hospitality. Embark on a half-day that will make your cruise stop a truly unforgettable memory!

FAQ:

Can this excursion be done by people with back problems?

What is provided for this excursion?

For this exclusive excursion, we provide you with protective goggles and plastic bags to safeguard your personal belongings, as well as helmets. We recommend bringing scarves to protect your face from dust and mud.

Is it guaranteed that we will be back at the port of La Romana on time?

Yes, of course. We have been organizing excursions for cruise ships for many years, and we take all necessary precautions to respond immediately to any unforeseen circumstances. A replacement boat is available immediately in case of a breakdown, additional transportation, etc. The entire team at Dominican Attitude is familiar with the special guidelines put in place for excursions with cruise ship passengers.

Should we bring swimsuits?

Yes, absolutely, for swimming in the river.
The ideal is to wear your swimsuit under your clothes from the morning.

Does the guide speak English?

Yes, the guides from Dominican Attitude speak fluently French, Spanish and English.

Is it better to wear sneakers or flip-flops?

It depends on your ability to drive with flip-flops, but since the buggies are automatic, it's not very complicated. If you opt for sneakers, that's fine too, except you may risk damaging them because the ground is red and stain-prone.

Will there only be passengers from the Cruise Ship on the excursion?

The majority of participants will indeed be passengers from the same cruise ship as you. It's possible that we may need to add other individuals from hotels to meet the minimum number of participants. In any case, this will primarily be an activity specially organized for passengers of the Cruise Ship.
