Long time reader, first time poster! I am visiting the DR from 12/27 to 1/7/2009. Have accommodations in Santo Domingo near the Conde' from 12/27-1/4/2009, then heading to Cabarete from 1/4/2009 to 1/6/2009 via Caribe Tours before heading back to Santo Domingo for my final night. Need some advice:
From the Conde' what's the cheapest way to get the zoo? I understand the aquarium is near Boca Chica. Is it more practical to take the local bus to Boca Chica and then catch a taxi to the aquarium or is there a bus that will let me off in front of the aquarium?
During my stay I would love to visit Bayahibe/Saona Island. Would you recommend a tour - I don't need the frills, I want to visit, lay back and enjoy the sand and surf, take a few pictures, have some seafood and head back to town.
I also wanted to take a daytrip to some waterfalls, raging rivers (white water rafting), maybe see an alligator or other indigenous wildlife. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Michael :glasses:
