There are some great activities available in the Dominican Republic perfect for couples on a romantic getaway. Plenty of these are water-based excursions such as a day spent out on the sea island hopping and exploring new and secluded areas such as Saona Island, snorkelling trips around beautiful coral regions and abandoned shipwrecks. If you are staying on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic be sure to visit the 27 waterfalls (27 charcos) for some beautiful Instagram shots, after the hike up you will have plenty of fun jumping and diving in the water. Many hotels have award-winning spa areas where you can unwind and relax for the day and even book some special couple treatments. Romantic dinners can be arranged locally to take place in some beautiful locations such as on the beach or in the rainforest, a picture-perfect evening if perhaps someone has a particular question in mind!
