⚠️ Conseils de Voyage Essentiels Dominican Republic

🚗

Skip the Rent-A-Car

Driving in the DR is notoriously chaotic and dangerous for foreigners. Rules of the road are treated as suggestions. Use private transfers or comfortable cross-country buses (like Caribe Tours) instead.

💵

Tip Outside the Resort

If you leave your all-inclusive (and you should), carry small Dominican Pesos. Tipping a few dollars to baggers, gas station attendants, and guides goes a very long way.

🐳

Time the Whales Right

If you are going to Samaná specifically for the humpback whales, do not arrive before mid-January or after mid-March to guarantee sightings.

💃

Learn Basic Merengue

Music is everywhere. Whether in a local colmado (corner store) or a club in the capital, knowing a basic Merengue or Bachata step will win you instant friends.

🛡️ Assurance Voyage Recommandée

Get travel insurance for peace of mind.
