Dominican Republic · SHOPPING TOURS
The 4 shopping tours we would put on a first Dominican itinerary, with what each costs, how long it runs and who it suits. Number one is at the top for a reason.
Spend four hours shopping at a Punta Cana plaza for larimar jewelry, amber, hats, swimsuits, and souvenirs, with hotel pickup and return. You’ll also sample cigars, coffee, chocolate, and Mamajuana. Drivers such as Alex have handled quick hotel transfers, but punctuality can vary.
Spend 2 to 3 hours at Mundo Autentico, a walkable shopping center featuring Don Lucas cigars, Dominican rum, cocoa, coffee, amber, larimar, pottery, paintings, and souvenirs. A multilingual guide handles transport and tastings, while you browse at your own pace. Jose is one guide praised for attentive service.
“Jose was my guide, they pick you up in the morning and take you to the excursion, your transport is private however they’re very attentive to you. The excursion was nothing short of amazing and I’d recommend everyone to do this especially if Jose is your guide”
Visit Don Lucas Cigar Factory and WordMart Souvenirs on a small-group outing of up to 15 people. Learn how cigars are made, sample rum, coffee, and chocolate, then shop for Dominican gifts with pickup and drop-off included.
“The driver did not show up Said they could come later or a different day I would not trust that they would even come”
Spend three hours shopping near Punta Cana with hotel pickup and return transport. Browse larimar and amber jewelry, hats, swimsuits, and local gifts, then sample Dominican coffee, chocolate, cigars, and Mamajuana. The tour suits bargain hunters, but confirm pickup details carefully.
“Driver never showed up. Phone number for booking contact is not right. Do not use. Check with your place of stay to see if they offer this excursion for free!”
Pick a coast, a cave or a boat.
