Designing a tour
in a country as tropical, varied, and beautiful as the Dominican Republic
is an exciting process, but can easily become overwhelming when working
on your own. Let a 4T Tour Consultant help you simplify the process
by assisting you in identifying the most important factors that effect
trip design content and costs. We can even recommend alternative options
that you may have not considered.
In addition to talking
with you about your goals, interests, and concerns, your 4T Tour Consultant
can provide you with descriptive tour itineraries and even a customized
web-site to assist you in spreading excitement, important information,
and announcements about your tour.
When you contact
your 4T Tour Consultant, it is helful that you have already given some
thought to the following factors that influence design and costs:
Length of program
Time of year
Goal statement
of trip
Number of students/participants
Number of chaperones,
teachers, leaders
Accommodation
comfort level or budget
Can participants
share beds? For example, two participants in a double bed.
Age of group,
and range of ages
A brief statement
of your goals
Educational interests
Adventure activity

or competing goals or interests
Any activities

Budget for overall
ground expenses in the DR (meals, transport, accommodations, activities
and programs)
4T offers educational
programs a 10% discount for all program fees prepaid in full 90-days
prior to arrival. Is this something that your school would be able
to take advantage of?
Does your school
or organization provide you with travel or medical insurance that
includes emergency evacuation while abroad?

Logistical
Management
Let's be honest.
This is Latin America, and it doesn't work the same way as North America.
It is all about who you know, and family and friends are served first.
When you travel with Tours Trips Treks & Travel, we take care of
the details so you can focus on your real goals and enjoy what this
beautiful country has to offer. Confirming hotel reservations, coordinating
multiple airport pickups, adjusting restaurant menus to accommodate
special diets, translating, changing money, and helping guests buy forgotten
toiletries are par for course when working with groups. These completely
normal tasks can easily become a full-time job in an unfamiliar environment,
especially when that environment is a developing nation. In addition
to taking care of the small stuff, 4T's expertise allows you to let
your imagination go wild in designing a tour. A masseuse at 10,000 feet
in the A. Bermudez National Park, disco lights on a remote beach, 5-course
meal in a cave, whale watching by helicopter, the front 9 holes at Playa
Grande on the north coast and the back at Teeth of the Dog on the south--in
the same day!... If you can think of it, we can do it.
Lodging
& Accommodations
From homestays with
Dominican families in Santiago, to 5-star beach resorts in Bavaro, and
from cabin-camping on Pico Duarte, to beach front villas in Cabarete
or just a modest hotel in Santo Domingo, 4T has the accommodation options
to meet your comfort level and budget. Contact us for options by region.
Transportation
Tours Trips Treks
& Travel offers extensive transportation solutions throughout the
Dominican Republic and its surrounding waters. In addition to car, luxury
vehicle, Harley, dirt bike, quad runner, and truck rentals, we provide
comforatble air conditioned busses from 6 to 59 passengers, all-terrain
vehicles seating 28, airplanes from 3 to 19 pax, helicopters and helicopter
hotel transfers from 3 to 6 passengers, hovercraft from 2 to 8 passengers,
and sail and motorized boats licensed from 3 to 120 passengers.
Catering
Relying upon our
own talented staff and guides and professional food service providers,
4T believes food prep to be an art form and eating an experience. From
a rustic "Chambre" stew made on an open "fogon"
to a delicately prepared Grouper Samana-style in mild coconut and fresh
tomato sauce or sweet corn bread on the mountain road to Jarabacoa,
food is an important part of the journey offering insight into this
colorful culture. We pride ourselves on our ability to provide quality
meals in the strangest and most remote of places.
Photography
Working with professionals
from multiple disciplines, 4T offers prearranged photography service
for all of our tours. Digital photo-CDs, high resolution prints up to
9"x13", post cards, slide shows, and more are available. Photography
service allows you to focus on the activities at hand without worrying
about "getting the right picture", batteries, film, or rain.
