Best excursions for each kind of weather

Rain or shine, there’s a good tour for your day. Once the forecast is in, the plan that matches it is highlighted.

Passing showers

1–10 mm of rain between 8 AM and 8 PM

Showers on the north coast are usually short. Pick a tour where getting wet or muddy is part of the plan.

  1. Damajagua Waterfalls + Dominican Lunch Great pick From $49 Ages 7+ You get wet in the canyon anyway, so a passing shower changes little.
  2. Double Buggy Adventure Great pick From $50 Ages 8+ Rain means more mud, which is half the fun. You will get dirty either way.
  3. Monkey Home + Butterflies + Birds Great pick From $57.99 All ages
  4. Double ATV Adventure Great pick From $45 Ages 8+ Rain means more mud, which is half the fun. You will get dirty either way.

Rainy day

10 mm of rain or more between 8 AM and 8 PM

Go for the buggy and the monkeys and butterflies. Damajagua depends on how much it rains: guides check the river that morning.

  1. Double Buggy Adventure Great pick From $50 Ages 8+ Rain means more mud, which is half the fun. You will get dirty either way.
  2. Monkey Home + Butterflies + Birds Great pick From $57.99 All ages An easy, short-drive visit that still works when it rains.
  3. Damajagua Waterfalls + Dominican Lunch Depends on the rain From $49 Ages 7+ Runs in light rain. After heavy rain, guides can close the falls until the river is safe; then we offer another tour or a full refund.
  4. Double ATV Adventure Great pick From $45 Ages 8+ Rain means more mud, which is half the fun. You will get dirty either way.
