My Boca de Yuma tour takes you beyond the resorts to discover the authentic Dominican Republic. This full-day private excursion combines breath taking coastal scenery, hidden natural attractions, local culture, and the flexibility to explore at your own pace.

​

Travel through the Dominican countryside, passing colorful villages, cattle ranches, sugar cane fields, and tropical farmland as I share stories about the island's history, traditions, and way of life. Unlike crowded bus tours, you'll enjoy a relaxed journey with plenty of opportunities to stop for photos and experience places most visitors never see.

​

The highlight of the tour is the beautiful fishing village of Boca de Yuma, located where the Yuma River meets the Caribbean Sea. Perched on dramatic coral cliffs, Boca de Yuma offers some of the most spectacular ocean views in the Dominican Republic. Take time to take in the village, meet friendly locals, and capture unforgettable photographs from the cliff tops overlooking the turquoise waters below.

​

Nature lovers will enjoy visiting a coastal saltwater cenote or a hidden freshwater cenote, where conditions permitting, you can take a refreshing swim in crystal-clear water. You have a chance to  explore the rugged coastline on foot, visit a fascinating natural cave, and observe primitive Taino artwork that has adorned the walls for many centuries.

A relaxing boat ride up the Yuma river is a photographer's dream with regular sightings of local wildlife.

​

Midday, relax over lunch at a local restaurant overlooking Yuma Bay. Choose from fresh seafood, Dominican specialties, pasta, or pizza while enjoying panoramic views that few visitors ever experience. Please note that select beverages are included...lunch is extra and made to order.

​

My Boca de Yuma Tour from Punta Cana is completely private. There are no buses, no large groups (please note that large groups can be accommodated), and no rushed schedules. Whether you want to spend more time taking photos, chatting with locals, or simply enjoying the scenery, the day is tailored to your interests.
