The Dominican Republic epitomises most people’s idea of a Caribbean island – miles and miles of palm-fringed beaches. But besides its stunning coastline, the small country also comprises rich rainforests, mesmerising mountains and sandy dunes, making it one of the region’s most geographically diverse countries!

Visit Saona Island, an idyllic speck of sand and palm trees in the blue Caribbean, during a full-day tour from Punta Cana.
