On December 5th 1492, when Christopher Columbus first stepped ashore on the Island of Hispaniola he proclaimed it to be "the fairest land under heaven". With it's breezy, Palm tree lined, white sandy beaches, this statement is as true today as it was over 500 years ago.

But there is so much more to the Dominican Republic than just sun, sand and merengue. The Dominican Republic has a culture as diverse as the landscape itself. From the hustle and bustle of the city of Santo Domingo in the south to the laid back beach life of the north coast. The official language is Spanish but it is very common to find the local population speaking English, German and French.

The island is the most visited destination in the caribbean and is fast becoming the trade mark for the region (over 3.5 million visitors in 2004). The north coast of the island has miles of white sandy beaches and is served by one of the largest airports in the caribbean, Gregorio Luperon airport in Puerto Plata (POP) and is well connected to all the north coast cities and tourist resorts.
The north coast boasts some of the finest golf courses in the region and you can also enjoy horse riding, kite surfing and diving on the amazing coral reefs and many other leisure activities.
