Savor the Flavors: A Culinary Journey

Rainy days are perfect for indulging in the culinary delights of Anamuya. The Dominican Safari tour, available on both November 16th and 17th from 7:30 AM to 1:30 PM, offers a feast for the senses. As you embark on this safari truck journey, you’ll have the chance to sample the rich flavors of Dominican cuisine. From handcrafted cigars to freshly brewed coffee and cocoa, this tour is a culinary adventure that will leave your taste buds tingling.

The tour also includes a visit to a local market, where you can experience the vibrant atmosphere and perhaps pick up a few souvenirs. While the market can be bustling and lively, it’s all part of the authentic Dominican experience. And don’t forget to enjoy a traditional Dominican buffet lunch, a highlight of the tour that showcases the region’s diverse culinary heritage.

“Great experience, not a safari truck - Definitely not a safari truck! We were picked up in a van and I thought it was bringing us to the safari truck until another rider said the driver confirmed we were in the van the whole time. So we started with a bad taste in our mouth. BUT that was able to change as our driver and guide were very friendly and helped negotiate prices when a member of the group wanted to purchase something. The stops on the tour are well worth it, especially the coffee and chocolate farm tour. Our guide at the farm was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The food at the farm was great as well. Overall a good experience but if you want a safari truck, this is not the tour.” - Reviewed on 2024-05-02
