If you’re traveling to a hotel in the Punta Cana area of the Dominican Republic, you may have already heard about Punta Cana Mike and his fellow partner, Dominican Dave. If not, it seems as if these two might be good to know on any vacation to this part of the Caribbean. The pair run Punta Cana Mike’s Dominican Adventure , a business for vacationers who wish to learn a little more about the local culture that goes beyond resort style living. Punta Cana Mike’s from Canada, while Dominican Dave is originally from England; however, both have roots in Punta Cana.

The tours Mike and Dave offer are for small groups, generally from two to nine people, and each outing can be designed for the indivdiual. These tours take you to serene beaches not often seen by tourists, to eat fish caught in small fishing villages, to go to local sporting events, concerts, and shopping.

Over the last few years, PC Mike has been a representative for several resorts, but always felt best when he was out with friends, showing them the best parts of the area which most people don’t get to see. Because the feedback he got from these trips was positive, he decided to give this opportunity to everyone, opening it up to the public.

Comments from customers voiced their disappointment with commercial, big truck tours. A tour with Dave elicited comments about the comfort of the van, the intimate nature of the tour (with only four people), and how the stops at a school, a cigar factory, a market, supermarket, cathedral and beach, all allowed for the customer to learn about the local area.

On the excursion, you’ll hear about the cigar industry and its background on the island, even learn how to play Dominoes Dominican style in a relaxed atmosphere in the local community and meet the Dominican people. Another group of tourists noted how a stop at a local school allowed them to interact with the children of the community, where students sang songs for the small group — something unlikely to happen in a large crowd of tourists. In you want to learn something extra about Punta Cana, then taking a tour by Punta Cana Mike or Dominican Dave seems to be an excellent choice.
