Fishing

fishing domincan republic

Fishing has been at the heart of most coastal towns. A variety of fishing excursions are offered to the tourists. You can learn how to fish from the shore (as many Dominicans still do), go out with a small boat and go fishing on the reefs, or go out with larger boats for some serious deep sea fishing.

Fishing is practiced with success all year round, but the summer is the best time to do so, in terms of the variety and numbers of fish and calmer waters.

The South Coast hosts fish like Wahoo, Sailfish, Marlin, Porpoise and Barracuda.

Scuba

scuba dominican republic

As far as the coastal areas of the Dominican Republic are concerned, you can scuba dive to your heart’s content almost everywhere you go. Offshore reefs with their colorful marine life and shipwrecks from the times when pirates and plunderers terrorized the Caribbean are the main attractions for scuba divers.

Our provider is a PADI certified scuba diving school. They cater for all levels of experience, so take your pick.

Not a certified diver but want to experience the thrill of diving??  Try our “INTRODUCTORY SCUBA DIVE” with a Certified Dive Master firsthand, equipment and instruction only $65.00,  This also counts toward your certification should you wish to pursue a card.  Also, if you do wish to be certified, we can set you up with your book studies on line so that when you arrive,  all that is left is the diving portion.

The best conditions for scuba diving in the Dominican Republic are on the south coasts. Although there is scuba diving on offer on the east coast resorts, the Punta Cana area, the sea there can be rougher and more challenging, especially during the winter months. If scuba diving is the main focus of your stay in the Dominican Republic, do bear this in mind.

The Boca Chica area offers good diving around shallow offshore reefs, excursions to the almost deserted islands of Catalina and La Saona, and a number of shipwrecks. It is also possible to spot dolphins in this area.

Off Catalina Island, there is a spectacular wall dive consisting of a steep coral slope that runs from 15 feet to a sandy bottom at 130 feet, with abundant fish activity and corals and sponges.

The much larger Saona Island has a dozen different dive sites, one of the best being Parguera, a large coral reef bordered by white sand bottom and a few isolated coral patches.

Just off the coast of Bayahibe is the wreck of the St. George, a 170-foot freighter sunk to form an artificial reef, which has already begun to accumulate marine life growth as well as attracting a resident fish population. The nearby Aquarium site is a shallower coral reef.

Continuing westward, we have the area around the beach town of Juan Dolio, which includes numerous hotels and resorts on the beaches of Juan Dolio itself, Playa Caribe and Guayacanes.

The wreck of the Tanya V. off Juan Dolio was also sunk as an artificial reef and diving attraction. Another wreck site is the Gabriela, which has attracted a large resident fish population.

Scuba diving highlights in Boca Chica include shipwrecks in the La Caleta Underwater National Park and La Sirena Cave.

La Caleta Underwater National Park is between Boca Chica and the capital, Santo Domingo. Divers can observe the wreck of the El Limon, a 69-foot steel tugboat with triple screws, lying on a sand bottom, surrounded on three sides by steep coral reefs. This wreck attracts a symphony of small tropical reef fish.

Golf

golf dominican republic

Golf is one of the Dominican Republic’s top attractions, bringing thousands of tourists in droves to this destination. What makes golf so popular is the combination of outstanding year round summer weather and the varied terrain. Caribbean weather allows for play even during rainy days, when brief showers quickly give way to clear skies. Course architects have incorporated hills and coastline into the design to doubly challenge the golfers.

Residents in Santo Domingo have the option to play at the resorts or to join nearby clubs. The Federation of Dominican Golf is active and organizes tournaments all year round. It offers residents an annual deal with considerable savings on golf fees nationwide.

 

Catamaran Cruise

Isla Catalina

This beautiful island boasts the south coast’s best coral reef, where fish are so tame from the many snorkelers and divers who visit here, that they eat right out of your hands.

 

Saona Island

Saona Island is a tropical island located a short distance from the mainland on the south-east tip of the Dominican Republic. It is a government protected nature reserve and is part of East National Park. It is a popular destination for tourists from all over the Dominican Republic, who arrive in fleets of catamarans and small motorboats on organized excursions every day. The Island is famous for the natural beauty of its beaches, and has been used on many occasions by film-makers and advertisers looking for a stereotypical “desert island” setting for their film or products.

 

Los Haitises

Los Haitises National Park is a national park located on the remote northeast coast of the Dominican Republic. It is a protected virgin forest with little road access. The number of tourists allowed is limited, but since 2000 it has been a relatively popular destination for ecotourism. Haitis (singular) means highland or mountain range in the Taíno language, although the elevation of the park’s hills ranges from 30–40 m (98–130 ft). There is a multitude of caverns created by water erosion. Native Americans adorned these caverns with pictographs and petroglyphs. The culture or cultures which created these artworks remain unidentified, some of them possibly predating the Taínos.

The park was created by Law 409 enacted June 3, 1976. It was preceded by a Reserva Forestal (Forest Reserve) called Zona Vedada de Los Haitises (Los Haitises Prohibited Zone), created by Law 244. In 1996, it area was expanded from 208 to 826 km2 (80 to 319 sq mi) by Decree 233. Its boundary, which has been redrawn on multiple occasions, is presently uncertain. The bulk of the park is located in the municipality of Sabana de la Mar, province of Hat0 Mayor, while the remainder lies in the provinces of Monte Plata and Samaná. Sabana de la Mar is the site of a visitors’ center.

Despite advanced deforestation, the precipitation is still considerable, ranging from 1,900–2,000 mm (75–79 in) annually. The park is near the top rank in both annual total rainfall and annual number of rainy days among sites in the Dominican Republic
