Any tips for our trip? Punta Cana > SD > Cabarete > Samana > La Romana > Bavaro
Hi,
I am new to this forum and we are planning our first trip to DR with my girlfriend. We are both from Slovakia around 30 years old, travelled a lot together in Europe and in Morocco, Thailand. I spent almost 3 months travelling in Central America.
In DR we would like to relax, enjoy the beaches, try the cuisine and get to know the country and people. On top of that we plan to surf, dive and my gf would love to see dolphins. She's hoping to see them on every vacation, but we weren't so lucky so far.
I would appreciate any tips or comments to our itinerary:
24 - 25.2. Punta Cana - chill out after the flight from Europe
26.2. Santo domingo - see the Zona Colonial and maybe some live music
27 - 29.2. Cabarete - watch the Master of the Ocean and hopefully surf a little (we did surf before, but are still beginners)
1.3. - 6.3. Samana - apart from beaches, we would like to see the nature.
7.3. - 9.3 comfortable place in La Romana or Bayahibe with a day trip Saona
10.3. - 14.3. comfortable place in Bavaro or Punta Cana area
15.3. Flight from Punta Cana
We don't have any accommodation booked yet. For the week in Samana, we think of staying few days in Las Galeras and few days in Las Terrenas.
For the end of our trip we just want to relax, so we will probably book a beach resort in La Romana and then a resort somewhere in Bavaro. We have never stayed in all-inclusive resort. My gf would like to try it, but I prefer something more authentic. On the other hand our other trips were usually too hectic and we felt like we needed another holiday after a holiday so a resort might be a nice change.
We will travel by public transport.
What do you think about the itinerary? Where would you stay in Samana and in the La Romana and Punta Cana area?
