PERRINE P.
The week-long trip was Top, a good mix of rest on beautiful and little-known beaches and islands and very authentic excursions (very different from mass tourism excursions) and very interesting with Top guides who are both discreet, joyful and very rooted in Dominican life...
LUCIE
We embarked on a one week trip organized by Tropical Evasion with my parents and boyfriend over Christmas. The entire trip was designed by Joy to satisfy all of our (very different!) wishes…food, activities for everyone, relaxation etc. The day trips were all very unique, authentic and fun...
Manon-2468
What an unforgettable adventure!! 🤩 Our experience with Joy was amazing! It was able to meet our expectations exactly and quickly, unlike other tour companies who constantly added additional fees to us. Everything was included, we didn't have to pay any extra fees on the spot...
Nicolas G.
Waterfalls, paragliding, kitesurfing, zip lines, buggies... In terms of thrills, we were won over, not to mention the breathtaking landscapes! As a diving enthusiast, our expectations were very high, but what can we tell you other than that we have never done such a perfect dive? The conditions were great, we saw wrecks, holes with a depth of more than 30 meters, fish of all kinds, including starfish, rays, etc...

La solution à mes problèmes…
Peut être que la République Dominicaine n’est pas la réponse à tout…
Mais entre les couchers de soleil, la mer turquoise et la tranquillité, je préfère quand même vérifier ! 🇩🇴🌊☀️

Parce qu’au fond, on a tous droit à une évasion, même juste le temps d’un instant.

Need a getaway?
Maybe the Dominican Republic is not the answer to everything…

But between the sunsets, the turquoise sea and the tranquility, I still prefer to check!🇩🇴🌊☀️

Because basically, we all have the right to escape, even just for a moment.
