What you can expect

Your day begins with a private pickup from your hotel in Punta Cana by a friendly, English-speaking driver. Sit back and relax in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle as you journey west towards the vibrant capital city of the Dominican Republic—Santo Domingo.

  • Fully Customisable & Private – Discuss your itinerary and stops with your driver, and if time isn’t enough, you can ask them to extend the ride directly from their app.

  • Pickup and drop off from a professional English-Speaking driver.

Your first stop is the Los Tres Ojos National Park a natural wonder where you’ll explore ancient limestone caves and crystal-clear underground lagoons once used by the indigenous Taino people. Follow a local guide through this magical landscape and learn about its geological and cultural significance.

Next, pause at the impressive Palacio Nacional (National Palace), the seat of the Dominican government. Modelled on the US Capitol, it’s a perfect photo stop with its neoclassical architecture and lush gardens.

Cruise along the Malecón, Santo Domingo’s iconic seaside boulevard. Lined with palm trees and dotted with sculptures, it’s a laid-back stretch where you can relax, snap oceanfront photos, or even swing in a hammock with a breeze off the Caribbean Sea.

Then, step into history with a visit to the Colonial Zone (Zona Colonial)—a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the oldest European settlement in the Americas. Walk along Calle Las Damas ,the first paved street in the New World, surrounded by beautifully preserved colonial buildings.

Stop at Parque Colón (Columbus Park), a lively square named after Christopher Columbus, and admire the First Cathedral of America, the oldest in the Western Hemisphere. Explore the Fortress of Columbus, once home to Diego Columbus, and continue to Plaza de la Hispanidad (Plaza España), a scenic square perfect for photos and people-watching.

Finally, visit the National Pantheon, a solemn and historic mausoleum that houses some of the Dominican Republic’s most honoured figures.

After soaking in centuries of history and vibrant culture, your driver will take you back to Punta Cana in comfort—ending your day with unforgettable memories of Santo Domingo.
