A partir de $45Why visit the cenotes near Cabrera
Laguna Dudu is the star of the region, a pair of deep freshwater lagoons joined by an underground tunnel, but it is far from the only one. The limestone landscape between Cabrera and the coast holds caves, sinkholes and spring-fed pools that stay a warm 25 to 28C all year. Most visitors come for the swim, the 10m jump platform and the zipline, then stay for the Taino cave art carved into the rock walls.
What to expect on a cenote tour
Guided trips from Puerto Plata or Cabarete usually include round-trip transport, a local guide and a stop at Playa Grande on the way back. You swim in calm, clear water, with life jackets available on site. Bring water shoes for the rocky edges and a dry bag if you want photos from the water. Weekdays are far quieter than weekends.
