    What To Expect

    Looking for things to do in Dominican Rpublic? Ready to explore the Dominican desert and its sand dunes, salt ponds and coral reefs?

    We depart at 8:00am (Pickup might start up to 30 minutes before), take a 2-hour road trip to Salinas, with some interesting stops on the way.

    Then we arrive to the sand dunes and spend some time learning about them, taking pictures, and of course, sandboarding. I'm not a certified instructor, we're just having fun. No experience required.

    After having fun at the dunes, we walk through the salt mines and its pink lakes, where we see the salt process and workers taking salt out of the lakes.

    Our last attraction is playa El Derrumbao, where we are going to do some snorkeling. To get there, we take a 20 minute walk (one way) under the hot sun. We walk into the beach with urchins and grab the goggles to watch the coral reefs and fish underwater. It's beautiful!

    Then, we walk back and change clothes by the car. There's no dressing room, Then we go back to a local place for some authentic Dominican lunch. After lunch, we return to Santo Domingo, happy and tired at around 3-4pm.
