While it is true that Casa de Campo has everything you need for a perfect vacation without leaving, the option to explore the surprises that the east region of the Dominican Republic has to offer is still very tempting. Here we highlight the best historical and outdoor excursions available at the resort.

Excursion to Santo Domingo

Only an hour and a half from the resort, the oldest city in the New World awaits you. Every Wednesday and Friday, we will take you to Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic, on an excursion full of history and culture. Explore the wonderful museums, cathedrals, landmarks and streets of the Colonial City while learning about more than 500 years of discoveries about what makes Dominicans the way they are.

Admire the art of making cigars by master craftsmen, (Cigar + Rum Experience)

Have you ever wanted to roll your own cigars? On Tuesdays and Thursdays we visit La Flor Dominicana, the most prestigious cigar factory in the country, to learn about this art.

Visitors can see the cowboys leading the herds and have the opportunity to explore on foot or on horseback the picturesque reed beds, the open meadows and the tranquil lagoons.

Explore the 6 square miles of sandy beach and crystal clear waters of Catalina Island. (Passed in Catalina)

A short catamaran ride is the only thing that separates you from knowing Catalina Island, a paradise of six square miles in the middle of the Caribbean Sea. Take a day off any day of the week for a heavy dose of relaxation, beauty and fun surrounded by white sands and crystal clear waters.
