The best tourist sights in the East: from Bayahibe to Miches

A practical tour of the excursions and beaches of the Dominican east, from Parque Nacional del Este to Montaña Redonda.

The east of the Dominican Republic does not live on resorts alone: it hides beaches, islands and natural parks that justify a few extra days of exploring.

From Bayahibe, excursions leave for Isla Saona and Catalina. Parque Nacional del Este protects extensive dry forests and white-sand beaches.

To the north, Miches is the gateway to Montaña Redonda and Laguna Redonda. The landscape, dotted with mountains and mangroves, is ideal for a day trip.

When planning, bear in mind that some islands and parks are visited with local operators and the offer varies by season. Compare prices and reviews before booking.
