Full-day tour from Santo Domingo to Laguna Dudú & Playa Diamante. Swim, zipline, explore caves, and enjoy a traditional Dominican lunch.

About this tour

Hidden in Cabrera, in the province of María Trinidad Sánchez, in the northern Dominican Republic, Laguna Dudú is one of the country’s most breathtaking natural attractions — a turquoise cenote surrounded by limestone cliffs, caves, and lush jungle. Just minutes away, you’ll also discover Playa Diamante, a shallow and tranquil beach that remains one of the area’s best-kept secrets.

This full-day guided tour from Santo Domingo combines the thrill of adventure with the serenity of a hidden beach.

Your journey begins with early hotel pickup in Santo Domingo and a scenic drive through the Dominican countryside. The first stop is Playa Diamante, where calm, shallow waters make it perfect for a refreshing swim and unique photo opportunities. As there are no big resorts or crowds, this short stop feels like stepping into an untouched paradise.

Afterward, continue just a few minutes to Laguna Dudú. Here, the adventure begins:

  • Swim in crystal-clear cenotes surrounded by jungle.
  • Experience the adrenaline of the zipline, launching yourself directly into the turquoise lagoon.
  • Explore hidden caves and passages formed by centuries of limestone erosion.
  • Relax, float, and enjoy the natural beauty at your own pace.

Following your activities, enjoy a traditional Dominican lunch at a local restaurant near the lagoon before returning comfortably to Santo Domingo.

This tour is ideal for travelers who want to combine eco-adventure and hidden-gem discovery in one unforgettable day.
