Route
How does the day work?
The day links Montaña Redonda with the Yanigua waterfall, while a boat trip takes you through Los Haitises.
- 120 min
1. Montaña Redonda
A safari truck handles the climb and descent. At the summit you can use the swings or hammocks with views toward Samaná Bay.

2. Miches
Miches is a drive-through part of the route. You pass the coastal countryside without a separate beach stop here.
- pass by
3. Sabana de la Mar
Sabana de la Mar is another drive-through section between the main visits. It isn't a separate town tour.
- 240 min
4. Rancho Salto Yanigua
You can swim beneath the waterfall or try the clay spa. Lunch is a Dominican buffet, with cocoa tasting also part of the visit.
- 240 min
5. Los Haitises National Park
The boat crosses mangrove channels and passes limestone formations. You also visit caves with Taíno rock art inside the national park.
The 10-hour total includes travel within the stop timings. The 4-hour blocks at Yanigua and Los Haitises aren't uninterrupted time on site. Your ride returns to your accommodation or arranged meeting point.

Before you book

Fit
Is this tour right for you?
The 10-hour trip suits you if a waterfall swim matters as much as the park's caves. Cap Cana pickup is part of the package. An English guide is available on the shared option. It's a day for travelers comfortable with a group below forty.
For freshwater pools, LPC's Caño Hondo trip costs from $139 per adult for 10 or more. It pairs the pools with a cave visit. For a shorter day, JHORAJI's mountain tour takes 4 hours from $80 per adult.
Who it's not for
- Travelers more than 7 months pregnant
- Travelers with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health
- Visitors who want a half-day outing

People also ask
- What does Sultana's Los Haitises and Yanigua tour cost?
The tour costs from $149 per adult and takes 10 hours. Pickup and admission fees are covered alongside lunch. You don't pay separately for the standard stops, while alcoholic drinks remain an extra purchase.
- Does Sultana collect every hotel at 6 a.m.?
No, 6 a.m. is the pickup time for Bayahibe and Dominicus guests. Other areas have later collection times. Your own time arrives roughly 18 hours before departure and depends on where you're staying.
- Which Sultana Los Haitises option has an English guide?
The shared option in requested languages includes English and uses a 6 a.m. departure slot. It runs on Mondays and Wednesdays plus Thursdays and Saturdays. Your hotel pickup still depends on location. The daily private option also offers English guides and costs more.
- Does Sultana allow four hours at Yanigua and four at Los Haitises?
No, the 4-hour blocks include transportation within the 10-hour day. They don't promise four uninterrupted hours at either attraction. Your visits share the day with Montaña Redonda, so the stop figures aren't separate chunks of free time.
- Does Sultana's Los Haitises tour pick up in Cap Cana?
Yes, Cap Cana is included in the free pickup and drop-off area for this 10-hour tour. You meet at your accommodation's lobby or entrance gate. Apartment and villa guests get a nearby meeting point instead.
