Dominican Republic vacations are a world of adventure, none bigger than a day of deep-sea fishing. Dominican Republic deep-sea fishing offers access to some of the cleanest and clearest Caribbean waters. These ideal conditions have brought much recent investment to the area, new marinas and boating complexes have recently opened along the Island’s pristine shores allowing for even more Dominican Republic deep-sea fishing.
 

Deep-sea fishing trips in the Dominican Republic can be organized with little difficulty. In villa resort areas and other major tourist destinations, boats and crews can be rented for the day to take you and your guests out for an amazing fishing experience. There are different packages to choose from, but many Dominican Republic deep-sea fishing trips will cost around $500 for a full day package (including a friendly crew and meals). Shorter fishing trips can also be organized if you don’t want to spend your entire day on the water, but who could resist the crystal waters and bright sun that make deep-sea fishing in the Dominican Republic such an amazing time… oh and don’t forget about the marlin, wahoo, and other great game fish.

Dominican Republic Sites and Activities

The Domincan Republic affords Domincan Republic villa rental guests with a wide variety of both sights and activities. Domincan Republic diving is another popular sport in the Dominican Republic, and many of the all-inclusive hotels offer lessons and certification. While there are some good areas to take the plunge and shipwrecks to explore along the north coast, the southern coast's water is warmer and its reefs a bit more protected. The waters off Barahona and Cabo Rojo, near Pedernales, are two popular spots. Domincan Republic bicycling is a great way to take in the country's natural splendor, and there are usually places to rent bikes in major urban areas. Even better, consider bringing your own. Offshore, the Bahía Samaná has been the preferred breeding area for humpback whales for may millions of years. Several boating companies offer whale-watching tours in season.  

There are many possibilities for hiking in the Dominican Republic, especially in the Central Highlands. Not only do most of the DR's national parks lend themselves well to wilderness treks, but the country's many kilometers of unprotected beaches make for interesting places to explore. There are some excellent spots for surfing, especially along the north and east coasts. Some of the best breaks crash just west of Sosúa, and there is also good surfing south of Bahía Samaná.
