Tours & Routes

Our tours and routes

If you have never been to the Dominican Republic let us tell you one thing: You are in for a treat! With our famous slogan “Dominican Republic has it all” we are certain that you will find an aventure that is right for you. North, South, East or West; mountains, beaches, paved roads or colonial buildings, you can go basically anywhere and find places to explore on motorcycle. Depending on what you like, how many days you plan on riding and your level of experience, allow us to suggest some of the best spots to visit before you return back home.

Guided vs. Self Guided

We’ve travelled abroad and rented bikes, and we know one thing: knowing where to go isn’t easy. We’ve designed a set of tours for riders of all experience levels, ranging from single day, only on-road, to multi-day trips with technical off-road segments. The tours are designed to take you to the hidden gems of the country, through beautiful road. We avoid highways and prefer the smaller side roads that allow you to see the real Dominican Republic. Our guided tours are for those who want to see the country with an experienced guide who can help them navigate the language, the navigation and the more challenging sections of the route, while our self guided tours are for those who want the assistance but prefer to travel without a guide.

Guided Tours

A Guided tour is the most complete package for travelers, where every single aspect of the trip is taken care of. Groups of riders travel together with a professional bi-lingual guide who will be in charge of making the most out of your tour. This is the most social experience, and many times over we’ve seen how the sense of camaraderie on our tours turns into friendships for life.

Guided tours are for you if:

You are a first time traveler or visiting somewhere for the first time
You'll want to gain a deeper intellectual/historical understanding of a destination
Coordinating all the logistics is not for you
Do not speak spanish (native language)
You might need help along the way (mechanical or technical)

Self Guided Tours

Self-Guided Tours are the perfect balance between the freedom you crave, and the peace of mind that comes with expert assistance in planning the perfect route, attractions, hotels and other experiences along your journey. Choose from a diverse of existing itineraries ranging from <1 – 7 days, or create your own unique experience by pairing a DR Moto Rides rental with your favorite hotels, campgrounds, lodges and private homes. If you can dream it – we can build it!

Self guided tours are for you if:

Pick on that works for your skill level, trip length and interests. You can acess these routes through the Wikiloc app link below.
