Discover one of the filming locations for Jurassic Park on our Los Haitises National Park Day Trip. You'll see one of the most beautiful corners of the Dominican Republic, take a cruise across the Samaná Bay and explore caves in the jungle. Unmissable!
Los Haitises Day Trip
We'll pick you up at your hotel in Punta Cana from 6:30 am onwards and set off for Los Haitises National Park, a unique karst landscape bathed by the waters of Samaná Bay.
When we get there, we'll board a boat to navigate through the Caño Hondo River. Watch out for the waters! On the shores rise the tangles of red mangroves until we reach the bay of San Lorenzo. In the open sea, we'll observe rocky hummocks inhabited by pelicans and earwigs.
The expedition continues to the Arena and Linea caves, which were once used by the Taíno indigenous people. Inside, we'll see these caves decorated with indigenous pictograms and petroglyphs.
Next, we'll disembark at the Hotel Paraíso Caño Hondo, where we'll find some beautiful natural pools belonging to the hotel. You can take a refreshing dip in the pools of the Jivales River.
Afterwards, we'll get into a jeep and head to the summit of Redonda mountain, which is nestled between two lagoons: Limón and Redonda. From the top, the views of the jungle will look like something out of a fairy tale.
Finally, we'll return to the mainland and head back to Punta Cana, where we'll arrive at your hotel between 4:30 pm and 6:30 pm.
