About the experience

CUEVA FUN FUN: ACEPTA EL RETO DEl VIAJE AL CORAZÓN DE LA TIERRA!

El interesante paisaje tropical de la finca en el Rancho Capote y el fascinante mundo subterráneo del complejo cavernario de Fun Fun, usted lo podrá experimentar a través de nuestra excursión de ecoturismo y turismo de aventura, con guías expertos, disfrutando además de un rico desayuno con abundantes frutas tropicales, una cabalgata, una caminata en el bosque tropical y un inolvidable recorrido de más de una hora en la Cueva Fun Fun con la inclusión de nado en un túnel atravesado por un rió subterráneo, contemplando en la salida de la cueva los petroglifos, unido a un regenerador baño en el río y luego con una segunda cabalgata hasta llegar de regreso al rancho y disfrutar de una deliciosa comida típica dominicana.

Su inolvidable aventura comienza con un delicioso desayuno de frescas y abundantes frutas tropicales. Le sigue un cambio de vestimenta especial y breve entrenamiento con guías y equipos profesionales de alta seguridad, con la finalidad de adentrarse en el mundo subterráneo.

Empieza la aventura con una cabalgata hasta el pié de la zona cársica (rocas calizas de origen coralino en Los Haitises). Luego una caminata a través del bosque húmedo en plena reserva Dominicana de los Haitises, donde el bosque húmedo y las pequeñas montañas cónicas se entremezclan en un ecosistema con una de las más rica diversidad biológica del Caribe Antillano.

Finaliza la caminata en una pequeña fisura que no es más que una de las chimeneas del complejo cavernario. Prepárese para un descenso en soga haciendo rapel desde una altura de 20 metros aproximadamente al interior de la cueva, siempre en manos de expertos guías profesionales.

A partir de este momento los guías lo conducirán por túneles y gigantescos corredores subterráneos. Asómbrese de espectaculares estalactitas y estalagmitas, coladas, columnas, admire la impresionante perfección del efecto del agua en la disolución de la roca caliza, creando cristales perfectos, observe como cada estalactita y estalagmita emite un sonido diferente, creando una verdadera sinfónica en lo profundo de las entrañas de la Tierra.

Ahora empezará a sentir agua entre sus pies, empieza a recorrer un río subterráneo que pronto verá un pequeño túnel donde se aventurará, si lo desea, a nado o puede tomar la ruta alternativa e ir a pie sin tener que nadar.

Aumenta el volumen del agua, apreciará el revoloteo de cientos y miles de murciélagos inquietos por su preséncia, admírelos que son habitantes cavernícolas indefensos que juegan un extraordinario papel en el equilibrio de la ecología.

Unos metros más y ves la luz al final del túnel, has llegado a la salida principal de Fun Fun, donde los ríos salen a ver la luz, lamiendo suavemente las rocas. Es un lugar espectacular: grandes bloques de rocas, exuberante vegetación, la anidación de las golondrinas, y lo más importante, la herencia de la cultura prehispánica con la presencia de petroglifos, arte rupestre milenario y mágico religioso, herencia de la más importante cultura antillana, la Taína.

Finalmente, los caballos te llevarán de regreso, en una segunda cabalgata al comedor del rancho, para finalizar esta increíble aventura con un rico buffet de sana y deliciosa comida y bebida criolla, mientras se deleita con la hermosa vista de rebaños de ovejas y cabras y hermosos jardines y aves exóticas.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before booking this tour.

What is included in the Cueva Fun Fun excursion?
Your booking includes round-trip hotel pickup in an air-conditioned bus, an official bilingual guide in English and Spanish, a specialized cave guide, and food according to the itinerary. The program begins with a breakfast of fresh tropical fruit, and after the adventure you return to the ranch for a buffet of traditional Dominican food and drinks. Before entering the cave you change into special gear and receive professional safety equipment.
What happens during the Cueva Fun Fun adventure, step by step?
After breakfast and a short safety briefing, you ride on horseback to the foot of the karst zone, then hike through the humid forest of the Los Haitises reserve to a small fissure that works as one of the cave's chimneys. From there you rappel into the cave, explore tunnels and huge underground corridors, follow an underground river, exit where you can see Taino petroglyphs, take a river bath and ride back to the ranch for lunch.
Do I have to rappel and swim inside the cave?
The entry into the cave is a rope descent, a rappel of approximately 20 meters, always handled by expert professional guides who train you beforehand. Inside, the underground river leads to a small tunnel that you can cross swimming if you want to, but there is an alternative route on foot, so swimming is optional. If you have any concern about the rappel, write to us on WhatsApp before booking so the team can advise you.
Where is Cueva Fun Fun and how long does the tour take?
The adventure takes place at Rancho Capote and the Fun Fun cave complex, in the limestone karst zone of the Los Haitises reserve, one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in the Caribbean. The program fills a long day, with breakfast, two horseback rides, a hike, more than an hour inside the cave and lunch. Exact pickup time and return time depend on your hotel, and our team confirms them on WhatsApp after you book.
What will I see inside the cave?
Inside Fun Fun you walk through tunnels and gigantic corridors full of stalactites, stalagmites, flowstone and columns, shaped by water dissolving the limestone into near-perfect crystals. Guides show how each formation makes a different sound when tapped. Further on, hundreds of bats fly overhead, and at the main exit you find large rock blocks, swallow nests and ancient Taino petroglyphs, one of the most special parts of the tour.
What should I wear and bring for the cave adventure?
Since you will ride horses, hike through a humid forest, walk in an underground river and can swim through a tunnel, plan to get wet and dirty. Wear a swimsuit under comfortable clothes and bring a towel, a dry change of clothes for the ride back, sunscreen and insect repellent. Special clothing and safety gear for the cave are provided at the ranch. Leave valuables at the hotel and carry some cash for tips or souvenirs.
Is Cueva Fun Fun suitable for children, and what is not included?
The listed child price is the same as the adult price, $140 per person. The tour data does not set a minimum age, and because it includes horseback riding, a 20 meter rappel and walking in water, please message us on WhatsApp with your children's ages before booking so the team can confirm. Not included are tips for guides and crew, premium and international drinks, souvenirs and personal expenses, and travel insurance.
How do I book Cueva Fun Fun and what is the cancellation policy?
You reserve online with a $10 deposit and pay the rest of the tour later. Cancellation is free up to 48 hours before the tour, with the exception of the $10 deposit, which is non-refundable. The excursion is run by a licensed local operator with a MITUR license and liability insurance, guides speak English and Spanish, and our team gives 24/7 support on WhatsApp for pickup details or any question before and after your trip.
