DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Best Time to Visit:
Like most places in the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic is quite warm year round! I recommend visiting during the dry season, which is from November – April. You will have warm, sunny days with bright blue skies!
The summers (May – October) are quite humid and rainy, but you will find lower prices and fewer crowds during these months.
Getting Around
Many resorts and accommodations will arrange an airport transfer for you! Taxis and Uber are also readily available.
Most tours will provide a bus or car transportation for you as well.
Travel Requirements
You will need a passport with at least six months of validity – regardless of how long you will be in the Dominican Republic for!

SUSTAINABLE + ETHICAL TRAVEL IN D.R.
- Stay in eco-hotels or hotels with environmental protection practices!
- Support the local economy by booking tours with local guides, eating at locally owned restaurants, and buying souvenirs from local artisans instead of tourist shops with imported goods.
- Treat the beaches with respect – always clean up after yourself!
