Punta Cana: Santo Domingo Tour with Lunch & Hotel Pickup

Explore Santo Domingo on a guided tour from Punta Cana. Visit Los Tres Ojos, the Columbus Lighthouse, and the Colonial Zone. Enjoy a buffet lunch and see a gemstone workshop.
Begin your day with a pickup from your hotel in Punta Cana. Head to Los Tres Ojos, an open-air complex of limestone caverns and crystalline underground lakes with enchanting names like Azufre, La Nevera, Las Damas, and Zaramagullones.

From there, take in a photo-worthy stop at the iconic Columbus Lighthouse, said to be a final resting place connected to the navigator himself. Continue with a short drive into Santo Domingo’s Colonial Zone, where medieval streets, majestic landmarks, and centuries-old architecture beckon.

Wander around or pause for snapshots of the Primada de América—widely known as the oldest cathedral in the Americas—then stand in awe before the Alcázar de Colón and explore the Plaza de España.

Visit an artisanal workshop to glimpse the transformation of amber resin and the famed Larimar gemstone—exclusive to the Dominican Republic. When your appetite calls, settle in for a buffet-style lunch brimming with regional favorites—rice, stews, beans, and more. After a satisfying meal and perhaps a final stroll, head back toward your accommodations, arriving in the late afternoon.
