Cruise Port Guide
The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Sail to the postcard-perfect Saona Island aboard a private catamaran, snorkel a natural pool teeming with starfish, and feast on a fresh seafood lunch on the sand. A true Caribbean bucket-list moment.
Step inside a hand-built 16th-century-style Mediterranean village perched above the Rio Chavón gorge, guided by a local art historian in a private session. Bucket-list for design and culture lovers.
Descend into one of the Caribbean's greatest prehistoric treasures — 500 Taíno pictographs and petroglyphs illuminated in a cathedral-like cavern — guided by a resident archaeologist on a small-group private visit.
Reach the legendary 'Wall' — a dramatic coral shelf off Catalina Island — on a private boat for elite snorkeling over untouched reef, then relax on one of the Caribbean's most pristine uninhabited beaches.
Journey into the lush countryside to a heritage cacao estate and artisan rum distillery, harvesting cacao pods and crafting your own chocolate bar before a private chef's lunch paired with aged Dominican rums. Pure sensory luxury.
Paddle the glassy, jungle-flanked Rio Chavón at first light in a private guided kayak session, then pull ashore for a chef-prepared Dominican breakfast in a hidden riverside clearing. Untouched, cinematic, and utterly exclusive.
