This jam-packed bus trip will give you a real taste of Caribbean culture. Once onboard, you’ll sip on a welcome drink while your guide gives you a rundown of the country’s colourful history. There are plenty of stops on the way, from fishing villages to a voodoo house. But, first up, you’ll meet students at a local school, before heading to the island’s holy city, Higuey. Here, you can visit the famous Basilica of La Altagracia – a huge concrete cathedral, which houses a painting of the Virgin that’s rumoured to have miraculous powers. After, you’re free to wander the bustling daily market, before hopping back on the bus for a visit to the countryside. You’ll tour a factory and plantation, where you’ll learn about how chocolate, coffee and rice are produced. Then, finish your day with a horse ride on the beach, followed by lunch, and a dip in the warm waters.
