Next, you’ll visit Mano Juan, a little fishing village full of local charm. Here, you’ll explore the village, learn about Dominican traditions, and also visit a turtle sanctuary (turtles may or may not be present depending on timing).
At midday, a gourmet lunch prepared by local chefs awaits you on Playa Toro. The menu features typical Dominican dishes, paired with premium Dominican drinks. After eating, you can lounge, swim, or walk along the beach in the private VIP area.
