If you want to see, hear, feel, and taste the Dominican Republic, this is your wildest dream come true. This is a riding trip that perfectly matches the extremely nimble Suzuki V-Strom 650 with winding, twisty roads, like "The Tail of the Iguana." This bike is the epitome of what a dual sport bike is about, with quick acceleration and superb handling, on different road types that will challenge your ability to ride without whooping and hollering. Forget the boring Americanized vacation to a resort, looking at the same beach all week and talking to someone from your hometown. THIS is the full Dominican riding experience. The rice paddies, pineapple plantations, coconut groves, crashing ocean waves and high mountain vistas--that is what you will get. Smiling faces, kids in school uniforms waving and shouting "Hola!"--Native tour guides who know where to go and how to get there--that is what you will get. A face that hurts from smiling all day-- Take my word for it, this is a trip that is NOT to be missed!"  RoadStarGirl - Boston MA "... A seven day adventure tour with MotoCaribe is like being in a great movie for a week. There is number one, plenty of action packed riding , beautiful scenery, colorful characters, guided by lead rider Ed. MotoCaribe ramps up the plot every day and add their share of light comedy all along the way. Robert is definitely the director in this production with Alida being the producer working behind the scenes to make things run smoothly. This crew will take care of you. You are going to have a great time starring in your own adventure in the Caribbean. Riding V-Stroms around paradise..what's not to like? Do it NOW! This is a real thumbs up and just too good to miss.

We have selected the best routes to the best sights. Overview: Somehow the adventure has been lost along the way with other motorcycle touring companies. We're bringing it back. The unique combination of riding AND interaction with the spectacular topography and the geological wonder of the Dominican Republic, the heart and soul of our touring,  is what sets MotoCaribe apart from the others.The Dominican Republic: with its twisty mountain roads, its mind-blowing beach-adjacent roads and its arid desert region. Nowhere else, but with us. Our unique partnerships with two phenomenal Dominican resorts allow you to connect to your surroundings while you tour.  Familiarity in an unfamiliar place creates comfort and acceptance of the surroundings, thereby heightening the rider's touring experience. Why ride unless you are riding through someplace spectacular to reach someplace spectacular? The menu is not the meal, and the map is not the journey! We own and maintain our fleet of Suzuki V-Strom 650's, with a base camp that ensures our equipment is in perfect working order. We are also unusual in that we operate all four seasons.Riding the roads in the Dominican Republic will challenge one’s abilities to the core.

You’ll experience the thrills of “The Tail of the Iguana” mountain road with an amazing vista stop.

In MotoCaribe-style, you’ll enjoy great local food and photo-ops along the way. The day ends with your-form-of-relaxation and a buffet dinner. Day 4 An optional “rise and shine” ride (6 a.m.) is followed by an afternoon van excursion to one of the most beautiful, idyllic beaches on the planet, hidden by thousands of coconut palms.

Lunch will be freshly grilled seafood with all the trimmings, prepared beachside. We head back to the resort, where we finish the evening with a beach bonfire after dinner.   Day 5 After breakfast and riders’ meeting, as you ride back to Jarabacoa, we stop at the primordial crystal clear freshwater cave spring of Lago Azul to swim, have lunch at a local French restaurant next to the famous Laguna GriGri in Rio San Juan, ride along the coast, and return to our base resort via “The Tail of the Iguana,” where you’ll have time to relax before the dinner in the riverside restaurant awaits us.Day 6 Today you’ll have the choice of two options:   Option #1:  “The Loop” --- ride down the mountain road from Jarabacoa to the Autopista Duarte to the high valley town of Constanza, the breadbasket of the Dominican Republic, returning to Jarabacoa on a rugged mountain hard-packed road with spectacular vistas and stops along the way. ~ Or ~ Option #2: A Van Excursion of Culture and Natural Adventure – A tour of an organic coffee processing plant, A trip to Santiago for a tour of the Centro Leon Cultural Museum, La Aurora authentic cigar rolling factory on the Museum grounds, Lunch adjacent to the Monument in downtown Santiago, A a trip to the 27 Falls of Rio Damajagua, a natural water adventure park You’ll ride your bike back to Camp Moto and say goodbye to it that evening.  Our Special Farwell Dinner together is in Jarabacoa which on Saturday night is alive and hopping, just you wait and see!  What a way to end a week in the Dominican Republic.

You’re a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame. On a cycle the frame is gone. You’re completely in contact with it all. You’re in the scene, not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is overwhelming." - Robert M.
