Los Haitises National Park Day Trip
Tour Options
At the time of booking, you can choose from two different options, both starting at the Altos de Caño Hondo hotel at the specified time. Below, you’ll find the details for each option:
2.5-hour Tour
We'll meet at the Altos de Caño Hondo hotel at your chosen time and set off on our adventure. We'll arrive at the marina and board a boat to leave Sabana de la Mar behind and head towards Los Haitises National Park.
We'll sail along the Caño Hondo River through the red mangroves until we reach San Lorenzo Bay. As we glide through the water, we'll see rocky mogotes and spot pelicans and kingbirds flying overhead. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the 700 different species of plants that cover the islets in this area!
After the boat trip, we'll enter both Arena and Linea Cave, which have petroglyphs and paintings left by indigenous populations 750 years ago. We'll also see how these paintings depict animals, deities and humans in black and grey shades.
Following this caving experience, we'll return to the boat and continue exploring the national park. We'll look out for manatees, dolphins and the other marine mammals that inhabit this area.
It'll then be time to finish our day trip and head back to the starting point, where we'll arrive 2.5 hours after our departure.
3.5-hour Tour
In this option, we'll follow the same itinerary as described above, exploring the stunning mangroves, San Lorenzo Bay, and the Arena and La Linea caves.
After visiting these sites, we will venture into the Owl Cave, renowned for its owl nests. Throughout the journey, you’ll have the opportunity to observe the local flora and fauna, including various bird species that thrive in this unique ecosystem.
Finally, we'll return to the meeting point and say goodbye after 3.5 hours of activity.
