About this activity

Immerse yourself in Dominican rural life on this 9-hour full-day journey from Bayahibe, combining working sugarcane plantations, rum and cigar production, horseback riding through mountain terrain, and hands-on tastings of local coffee, cacao, and tropical fruits at an authentic family home.

Tour a sugarcane field, where you ́ll see a traditional Trapiche and learn how we produce our delicious Dominican rum and roll the greatest cigars in the world. After horseback riding continue through the Eastern mountain range until we reach a typical home and stop to sample fresh organic coffee, cacao, and tropical fruits.
