Isla Paradiso
Discovering the Dominican Republic

Photo Gallery

  The Dominican
Republic is an
untouched Caribbean
vacation hot-spot		  
  It was here
that Christopher
Columbus first
landed in the
New World
in 1492		  
  The country occupies
the eastern two-thirds
of the island of
Hispaniola 		 
  The tour begins
in Santo Domingo
on the island’s
southern coast		  
  Our five-star hotel,
a UNESCO World
Heritage Site, was
built in 1502 as the first
governor’s residence		  
  Enjoy a full day
of sightseeing in
Santo Domingo,
including the
convent, . . .		  
  . . . the
Colonial
Park, . . .		  
  . . . the home
of Diego Columbus,
first son of
Christopher, . . .		  
  . . . the old
fort, . . .		  
  . . . the
Three Eyes
Grotto, . . .		  
  . . . and the
first Cathedral
of the Americas		  
  Moving into the
island’s interior, we
climb into the central
highlands 		 
  Our destination is
Jarabacoa, a spot
known for its
natural beauty		  
  We arrive in time
for an optional
horseback ride to the
spectacular waterfalls
near our lodge		  
  On a free day
for optional
adventures, you
may choose to
go hiking . . .		  
  . . . into the deep
pine forests, or
back to the waterfalls		  
  We highly recommend
a full-day whitewater
rafting adventure		  
  Enjoy fun and excitement
in the cool waters of the
Yaque del Norte River,
the Caribbean’s longest		  
  Our next stop is
Samana Bay
in the island’s
northeast corner		  
  Arise early to
watch sunrise
over the bay		  
  Take an exciting
whalewatching
excursion 		 
  Samana Bay is one
of the world’s best
whalewatching spots		  
  We will be here
during the mating
season for thousands
of humpback whales		  
  We are virtually
guaranteed to have
amazing whale sightings		  
  Our final destination
is Puerto Plata on the
island’s north coast		  
  Stay in an all-inclusive
resort right on the beach		  
  On a free day
you can visit
the local fort		  
  Admire the quaint
Victorian architecture		  
  Take a cable car
to the top of
Mount Isabel		  
  The mountain offers
fantastic views of
the city and coastline		  
  Join us for a winter escape
to a tropical island paradise
in the Dominican Republic!
