Best for: beach lovers, adventure seekers, culture explorers
Carry small bills (pesos) for local markets and taxis to avoid unfavorable exchange rates or being overcharged.
Visit off-the-beaten-path destinations like Samaná or Barahona for authentic experiences without the tourist crowds.
Always haggle politely in markets, as vendors often inflate prices for tourists—starting at 50-60% of the asking price is common.
