Safari Overview
At the scheduled time, you will be collected from your accommodation. Climb aboard a safari truck for a scenic ride to the city of Higüey, approximately a 40-minute drive away.
Upon arrival, your exploration begins at the traditional market of Higüey, celebrated as one of the most vibrant in the Dominican Republic. Enjoy 45 minutes wandering through stalls brimming with fresh fruits, vegetables, and local meats, followed by a visit to a cigar factory to discover the intricate process behind this famous product.
