Jamao River Kayak Adventure – Full-Day from Santo Domingo

Trade the bustle of Santo Domingo for a day of turquoise waters, lush forest, and authentic Dominican flavors. On this full-day Jamao River Kayak Tour, you’ll travel north to Jamao al Norte for one of the country’s most unique eco-adventures.

After an early hotel pickup, the journey takes you through the countryside to a welcoming local community. Here, you’ll taste the traditional rodao biscuit and see daily life in rural Dominican Republic before heading to the river.

At the put-in point, your professional local guide provides all equipment and a safety briefing. Then it’s time to launch into a calm 5-kilometer paddle along the Jamao/Yásica River. The water is famously clear and turquoise, framed by sandy banks and ancient trees. Along the way, you’ll stop to swim in natural pools, take photos, and enjoy a light snack.

The adventure continues with an authentic Dominican lunch prepared by the community—simple, home-cooked dishes that showcase the region’s culture and hospitality. With small groups and expert guides, this experience balances adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion.

Designed for beginners and nature lovers, the Jamao River Kayak Tour is the perfect escape from Santo Domingo, offering both outdoor excitement and meaningful connections with local life.
