About this experience
In addition to the Dudú Lagoon, a few minutes away you can find the Blue Lagoon (“Laguna Azul” in Spanish), whose water will draw you in. It’s a natural freshwater pool that’s so crystal clear that it’s easy to see the bottom and invites you to go for a refreshing swim. It’s the favourite among many Cabrera families due to how calm its waters are, allowing families with children to go for a relaxing swim without having to worry about waves.

Furthermore, there is a Taino cave of a length approximately 30 meters has , plus some landscaped gardens and facilities . In the big lake there are several ways to jump into the lagoon. Ropes were ( pendulum - type ) installed for people of all ages. After a couple of hours in Blue Lagoon we drive you to playa grande beach, which is located at the north coast of the Dominican Republic in a beautiful area of lush vegetation enriched by a changing palette of green and blue, rolling hills and the Atlantic Ocean. It is near San Juan River. Playa grande one of the most beautiful beaches in the country and the longest on the north coast that carries its name very well.

Here you will stop for lunch and have time to enjoy of the crystal clear water and of this golden sandy beach .
On the Ámbar coast, near Río San Juan, one of the most beautiful beaches in the country and the longest on the North coast that bears its name very well. It has a wide strip of golden sand for several kilometers bordered by coconut trees, where one can isolate oneself. Before it was the favorite destination of the Dominicans during the weekends and now it is surrounded by large hotel complexes. But it is still accessible to visitors, who come from afar to enjoy its transparent waters. Restaurants, bars and musicians enliven the central part. To be calmer, it is best to go in the afternoon. Pay special attention to currents and heavy swells in winter.
