From $98Adventure & Outdoor in Santo Domingo
Beyond the colonial streets, the countryside around Santo Domingo opens into rivers, caves, and dry-forest trails built for active days out. Adventure tours from the capital include off-road buggy runs, zipline circuits, horseback rides, and hikes to hidden waterfalls and underground rivers, often within an hour or two of the city.
These outings suit travellers who want movement rather than monuments. Operators provide gear and a guide, and most trips include hotel pickup from Santo Domingo. Wear clothes you do not mind getting muddy or wet, especially on the river and cave routes where a swim is part of the experience.
