Dominican Republic


Occupying the eastern half of the isle of Hispaniola, the Dominican Republic enjoys year-round sunshine, some of the best beaches in the Caribbean and a lush interior. It boasts excellent white sand beaches on the north, south-east and east coasts, as well as beautiful countryside, from mangrove swamps to mountain ranges and waterfalls. Wildlife includes manatees and the famous gathering of humpback whales in the Bahía de Samaná. Add to this its colonial charm and infectious music and dance which are at the heart of Dominican culture.


But it is not just the country's beauty that makes it worth a visit - the Dominican Republic also has a reputation for having some of the friendliest people in the whole Caribbean, providing a warm welcome and genuine hospitality. In addition there are some excellent tourist facilities, eclectic architecture and you're never too far away from a party. Its Latin soul also adds a dash of excitement not found in the British and French isles of the West Indies. Add to this heady mix the clearest, most inviting seas you'll ever swim in and it's not hard to imagine enjoying yourself in the beautiful Dominican Republic.
