As the second largest island in the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic (DR) offers a wide selection of activities and experiences for visitors. It also means that some attractions are quite a distance away from one another. Fortunately, the DR is well equipped to handle its size with a well-maintained network of highways and international airports that serve all corners of the country.
