EXPERIENCES AT ALTAVISTA

Explore the jungle and the Ocean

A jungle on the doorstep

Take a guided trek through the protected jungle reserves surrounding Altavista and discover astonishing biodiversity, including resplendent tropical flora and more than 160 species of birds. A private horseback ride through hundreds of acres of forests lining the shore of Playa Grande takes in teak plantations, quiet coastal villages and the abundant natural spectacle of the Dominican Republic. And, for those in search of more challenging escapades, there are mountains to ascend, canyons to traverse and waterfalls to rappel.

Explore Dominican culture

From the historical treasures of the 16th-century Fortaleza San Felipe in Puerto Plata to local music performances, architecture tours and cigar-rolling masterclasses, the Altavista team can easily arrange private cultural excursions personally tailored to guests’ interests.

Reef and Wreck Diving in Sosua

With an average water temperature of 80F (27C), minimal current and a visibility up to 100ft (30m), the dive sites on the North coast of the Dominican Republic are perfect for beginners and experienced divers. The Atlantic dive sites might not offer the same variety of sea life and colors as the Caribbean Sea, but they do offer fun dives and unique experiences such as wreck dives or cave diving.

The dive center is located in Sosua, a one-hour drive from Altavista. The licensed multilingual dive instructors offer a wide range of activities for divers of all levels, from beginners to certified divers. They can take guests to more than 20 different dive sites including several shipwrecks within easy reach of a five to 20-minute boat ride from the dive center.

Adventures on the ocean

Altavista is a haven for water sports and excursions on the Caribbean Sea. From surfing and kayaking to big-game fishing and coastal cruising, a world of adventure awaits off-shore. Close by, Cabarete Bay is one of the world’s best spots for kitesurfing.

Family activities

With jungle expeditions led by naturalists, private watersports classes tailored to any level of ability, and a calendar of special events tailored to children, Altavista ensures younger guests and families enjoy a stay packed with memorable moments, returning home with new skills and memories to cherish.
