Adventures on Land

Adventures on Land

On the Dominican Republic’s remote north coast, Amanera offers immersive adventures amid 2,000 acres of lush jungle, dramatic mountains and Atlantic coastline. Perched on a cliff above the fabled Playa Grande, the resort invites exploration to suit all kinds of adventurer. From meandering through royal palms and centuries-old trees on horseback, or rappelling down secret waterfalls, every adventure offers a renewed connection to the wild beauty of this extraordinary setting. 

Explore the Jungle

Amanera's private eco-hikes delve into the extensive wilderness surrounding Amanera, presenting an opportunity to connect with nature and uncover indigenous flora and fauna with knowledge from an expert guide.  

Nature Hike

A six-and-a-half kilometre, two-hour loop begins at Amanera and ascends the mountain ridge behind the resort. Descend through lush rainforest to end of Playa Grande and conclude with a walk back along its peaceful shores. Ten percent of the Nature Hike’s earnings are donated to support the hotel’s environmental and social initiatives. 

Ocean Front Walk

A two-and-a-half kilometre oceanfront walk begins in the centre of the small fishing village Rio San Juan. Stroll along the urban shores of playa Los Minos, renowned for its tapestry of interlinking bays, lapped by crystal-clear turquoise waters. Wade along the shore to reach a detached piece of land and continue the walk on the rugged coastline to Playa Gri Gri, El Ponton, Playa de Los Enamorados and Playa Caleton.
