High Season

The high season (or where the highest tourism occurs) is from December to February, where temperatures are properly cold, but it can be said that there are also high seasons between July, August and the week before Easter. The prices of hotels and beaches are expensive and you can watch the whale season between January and March.

Shoulder Season

It is from March to July, where we will find different climates by geographic zones, March is dry in Samaná; April is ideal throughout the country; May and June is partly cloudy and sunny, with a chance of rain in the afternoon.

Low Season

The low season is from August to December, it doesn’t have a very large variation in temperature, except for the mountainous areas, however, between the months of June and December there are hurricane seasons, but you can enjoy the beautiful landscapes with low prices in hotels.

Your trip to Dominican Republic
