Monte Cristi National Park

The jewel of the northwest, the border province of Montecristi presents a wild and captivating landscape, ideal for adventures out of the ordinary. Rice and banana plantations, giant goats and cacti are found along the road that takes you to salt ponds and limestone cliffs that hug the Atlantic Ocean and its waves. Around this part desert and part Mediterranean-like scenery, mangrove tunnels lead you to cool lagoons, while offshore keys fill with migratory birds and offer secluded white sand beaches.

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Full-Day Tour Isla Bonita Deluxe?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
