Route
How does the day work?
The road trip connects Montaña Redonda with a riverboat visit to Los Haitises before lunch and pool time at Caño Hondo.
- pass by
1. Punta Cana
The drive leaves Punta Cana on the Miches highway toward Sabana de la Mar. Your guide talks about the countryside along the way.
- 25 min
2. Montaña Redonda
The summit looks across the coast and surrounding countryside. You stop here while traveling toward Sabana de la Mar.
- pass by
3. Sabana de la Mar
A break in Las Cañitas gives you time for the restrooms. You then pass through Sabana de la Mar toward the park.
- 120 min
4. Los Haitises National Park
The riverboat leaves Caño Hondo through mangrove channels. You visit Cueva de la Línea for Taíno rock art before boating back to the dock.
- 180 min
5. Paraíso Caño Hondo
Lunch is a Dominican buffet at the lodge. You can swim in the freshwater pools before boarding the bus for the return.
- pass by
6. Punta Cana
The bus takes you back toward Punta Cana after the park outing. This final leg doesn't add another sightseeing stop.
The drive toward Sabana de la Mar takes roughly 1.5 hours, with 15 to 20 minutes for restrooms in Las Cañitas. Activities can change order. Your 11 to 12-hour day ends with return transport to your pickup area.
Pickup and meeting point
- Pickup area: Hotels in Punta Cana and Bayahibe have pickup. If you're in an apartment or villa, a meeting point is arranged nearby.
- Hotel timing: Your hotel's time falls between 6 and 7:30 a.m. It arrives after booking, so 7 a.m. isn't a universal pickup time.
- Clothes and water: Wear sneakers and comfortable clothes. A swimsuit and towel cover the pool stop, and insect repellent is also recommended.
- Food for travel: Breakfast before lunch is light. Bring snacks for the day, plus cash if you want to tip or shop.
Before you book
- Check your pickup area before paying. Cap Cana and airport-area pickups require a cash supplement per person, and Miches pickups don't include Montaña Redonda.
Fit
Is this tour right for you?
Groups of 10 to 15 adults fit the lowest rate for this 11 to 12-hour outing. Smaller groups can join at a higher rate. It suits you if a cave visit and freshwater pools matter enough for a full day. You'll need moderate fitness.
For Cap Cana pickup without a supplement, Sultana's Yanigua tour costs from $149 per adult. For 4 hours out, JHORAJI's mountain tour costs from $80 per adult.
Who it's not for
- Travelers who are pregnant
- Travelers with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health
- Travelers unable to manage moderate activity
- Miches guests booking chiefly for Montaña Redonda
Good to know
Know before you go
Sneakers suit the recommended footwear for this outing. Your bag should include swimwear and a towel for the pools. Bring sunscreen and insect repellent for time outside the vehicle.
Only a light breakfast comes before the lunch stop. Snacks are recommended for your time on the road. Cash is also useful for tips or purchases, which aren't included in the price.
Children aged 3 to 10 use child tickets. Adult tickets cover ages 11 to 70, and every booking needs an adult. Ticket age alone doesn't remove the moderate fitness requirement.
Pickup for a one-person reservation may be unavailable outside Bávaro. Your address therefore matters before booking this trip alone. Check that arrangement before choosing a date for the long outing.
The tour needs suitable weather and enough travelers to depart. Your booking is instant and uses a mobile ticket. Each booking holds up to fifteen travelers, while the full tour can carry sixty.
Canceling at least 24 hours before scheduled departure gets you a full refund. Canceling later doesn't. That notice period is worth keeping in mind when fitting this outing around other plans.

People also ask
- What does Living Punta Cana Tours' Los Haitises trip cost?
It costs from $139 per adult for 10 or more. The lowest rate covers bookings with ten to fifteen adults. Parties of two to nine adults pay more. Lunch and the riverboat outing are included, with photos and tips extra.
- What time does Living Punta Cana Tours collect guests for Los Haitises?
Hotel pickups fall between 6 and 7:30 a.m., with your exact time supplied after booking. The 7 a.m. departure slot isn't a universal collection time. You need the time assigned to your own hotel or nearby meeting point.
- Does LPC Tours visit Montaña Redonda when collecting guests in Miches?
No, guests collected from Miches hotels skip Montaña Redonda on this itinerary. The mountain normally has a 25-minute stop. If that viewpoint is your reason for booking, the pickup location changes what you get from the day.
- How much time does LPC Tours allow at Caño Hondo?
The Paraíso Caño Hondo stop lasts 3 hours and includes lunch. You can use the freshwater pools during that visit before the return journey. It isn't three hours just for swimming, and the order of activities can change.
- Does LPC Tours charge extra for Cap Cana pickup?
Yes, Cap Cana and airport-area hotel pickups carry a supplement per person. You pay it in cash on the day. The quoted tour rate applies to guests staying in Bávaro and Punta Cana hotels.
