CARIBBEAN SERVICE ADVENTURE

Beyond its world-famous coastline lies a very different Dominican Republic. Still awe-inspiring, but full of need. Much of the island isn’t developed sufficiently, shining a light on areas where volunteers are needed to to help improve living conditions in local neighborhoods. Construct community buildings, homes or schools using sustainable building materials and methods. You might also tackle other ongoing projects, such as ensuring families have access to a clean water supply and safe cooking methods, or planting trees for reforestation. You will be a true islander once you’ve lent a hand where it matters most!

Picture it. Hundreds of miles of pure Caribbean coastline. Unspoiled ocean views. White sand beaches you can sink your toes into. Tropical trees, stunning cliffs and mystical blue cenotes that seem to appear as if out of a dream. And countless stars in the evening sky twinkling just above you. Adventure is everywhere to be found in the Dominican Republic, and you’ll have no shortage of opportunities to explore this hidden gem of the Caribbean. Take a boat ride in the sea over crystal clear waters  and enjoy the warm ocean temperatures not found in northern climates. Join our snorkeling expedition, where you’ll discover marine ecosystems unique to the Caribbean. You’ll also visit Dudu Lagoon, an impressive ecological park where you can see up-close those rare and wonderful cenotes everyone has been talking about. And don’t forget to take a swim in a natural cave while you’re here! In the lush, rural interior of the island, you will also hike Mt. Brisón to a remote village, where daily life on the mountain will be revealed to you.
