Prepared by the Dominican Proactivitis team. Practical planning and conditions for our services.
Plan around travel time, not just the attraction
Choose how much time you want away from your hotel before selecting an excursion. A Saona trip includes the journey to the boat departure point and a day on the island. A buggy outing is generally a shorter, more active choice. A cultural visit to Santo Domingo adds a road journey and time on foot in the city.
Read the total duration and pickup area on the product page. Do not schedule an airport departure immediately after a tour: transport, weather and daily operations can alter the return time. Leave room for a resort day rather than filling every day with transfers.
For beach days and boat trips
Compare shared Saona, private speedboats and the whole-boat yacht options. Check whether a price is per person or per group. A party boat, snorkeling cruise and Saona day trip provide different amounts of sailing, beach time and onboard entertainment; choose the experience itself before comparing prices.
For active travelers
Buggy and cenote tours involve off-road driving, mud and vehicle-seat limits. Standard tours use a guided convoy even when your buggy is reserved for your own party. Private excursions and Polaris products have their own conditions. Check the minimum driver age and child participation rules.
Scape Park, Monkeyland and Los Haitises offer different kinds of nature activities. Review walking, swimming, height or mobility requirements for the chosen option. Do not assume a general description of a park includes every optional experience.
For families and groups
Children need to be counted when selecting vehicle or boat capacity. A family buggy has a fixed number of seats; booking more vehicles changes the available capacity and total. For private boats, choose an option that fits everyone rather than exceeding the advertised limit.
Share child ages, pickup hotel and any accessibility requirements before payment. Food, drinks and equipment should be checked in the included list rather than inferred from photographs.
