The Dominican Republic, affectionately called by natives, the DR, is the Caribbean's most geographically diverse country, boasting everything from tropical rainforests and towering green mountain ranges, to mangrove swamps and desert expanses. This natural bounty offers terrific eco-tourism and adventure travel opportunities, catering to outdoor enthusiasts from mountain-bikers, and hikers, to water sport enthusiasts. |
The weather in the Dominican Republic is hottest in July and August and coolest in February. During the rainy season rains are typically brief and provide welcome relief to the summer heat. May to October is the rainy season but August is a little less rainy than the other summer months. Throughout the Caribbean June to October is hurricane season with September and October seeing the most Caribbean hurricanes. Travel insurance is always recommended but even more so if you’re traveling during these months.
