Dominican Republic - Best time to visit

When to go



The best time to visit the Dominican Republic is the dry season, which however is not the same everywhere.
In the inland valleys and along the south coast (see Santo Domingo, Punta Cana), the best period is from December to mid-April.
On the northern coast, especially in the areas in which there is no real dry season (province of Samaná, Sabana de la Mar), you can choose February and March, which are the least rainy months.
In summer, the weather is hot and sultry, and there's the danger of hurricanes. However, if you want to go in summer, there are several areas where it does not rain a lot, in particular, the north-western coast, from the Haitian border to the Amber Coast (where the least rainy season is the period from June to September), the south-west coast, and the part of the south coast to the east of Santo Domingo (up to Punta Cana). In June and July, the likelihood of hurricanes is lower than in August.

What to pack



From November to April: bring light clothes, a sun hat, sunscreen, and a sweatshirt for the evening. For the mountains, a jacket, a sweater, and hiking boots.
From May to October, bring lightweight clothing, and possibly a light sweatshirt and a light raincoat for thunderstorms. For the mountains, a jacket, a sweatshirt, and hiking boots.
