WHEN TO SEE IT AT ITS BEST

For a rain-free vacation in the Dominican Republic, we recommend visiting between November and April, when the weather is most optimal. If you go between June and October, expect more rain, especially in May and September. Regardless of when you go, the sea temperature at Cayo Arena is always enjoyable. To get to Cayo Arena, you can take a speedboat or a tour from Punta Rucia. The beach can get very crowded, so we suggest going during off-peak season and early in the morning. Spend plenty of time in the water, as the snorkeling experience is truly incredible.
