Tips for Booking Tours in the Dominican Republic

  • Book popular tours 2–3 days in advance during peak season (December–April). Bestsellers and whale watching tours sell out fast.
  • Most tours include hotel pickup from major resort areas. Check the tour details for your specific hotel or meeting point.
  • Bring cash (Dominican pesos or small USD bills) for tips. Tour guides, boat captains, and drivers appreciate gratuities.
  • Wear reef-safe sunscreen for any water activity. Some marine parks require it and vendors sell it on-site at marked-up prices.
  • Morning departures beat the afternoon heat and crowds, especially for outdoor adventures and day trips.
  • If your tour includes lunch, let the operator know about dietary restrictions when booking — most can accommodate with advance notice.
