About Los Haitises
Covering an area stretching 1,600 km² (618 square miles), Los Haitises National Park is one of the crown jewels of the Dominican Republic’s national park system. Los Haitises–which translates into “hilly land” in the Taino language–attracts numerous visitors who come here by boat to see its magnificent series of 30-meter (98-foot) high rock formations jutting out of the water.
The park also boasts extensive mangroves along its bay, which is dotted with cayes that are home to multiple bird colonies, as well as a series of caves known for having one of the highest numbers of petroglyphs and pictographs in the country. You’ll easily spot the endangered Ridgway’s Hawk, the Hispaniolan Piculet, the Hispaniolan Woodpecker, and the Hispaniolan Emerald, as well as pelicans, frigate birds, herons, and many more majestic birds in flight over the park’s extensive landscape.

The Los Haitises and Cayó Levantado tour was an unforgettable experience. The natural beauty of Los Haitises National Park, with its lush mangroves, ancient caves, and towering limestone formations, was truly breathtaking. Cayó Levantado, with its pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters, felt like paradise on earth. The tour guides were exceptional, seamlessly switching between English and Spanish to ensure everyone felt included. Their knowledge and passion for the area made the experience even more enriching. Highly recommend this tour for anyone seeking both adventure and relaxation in a stunning natural setting.

Tutto come descritto, esperienza da rifare sicuramente, la parte più interessante e stimolante é sicuramente la prima, la visita alle grotte con il parco. Personale e organizzazione perfetta, la guida parlava tre lingue, spagnolo, inglese e francese, super simpatico come anche il capitano e il suo aiutante ☺️ Punto in più per la bottiglia di rum Brugal a bordo. Muchas gracias por la experiencia

Me gustó mucho la zona de los haitises y las cuevas,el paisaje,las aves que se ven….el guía nos lo explicaba todo muy bien. El único punto negativo es sobre la hora de llegada,nos dijeron estar en el punto de encuentro a las 9 y la excursión no salia hasta las 9.45. Tuvimos que madrugar mucho y no pudimos desayunar en nuestro hotel por cumplir con las 9 y si llegamos a saber que valía con llegar a las 9.30 hubiera sido mejor.
