Hydrate and pace yourself

Many local vendors and gratuities are easiest to handle with cash in Dominican pesos or small USD notes.
Wear comfortable shoes
Expect short walks on sand, boardwalk and restaurant floors—closed toes or sturdy sandals help.
Declare dietary restrictions early
Inform the operator at booking so guides and kitchens can adapt dishes within the tight schedule.
