About
Next Dominican Tour

We're not a travel agency sitting in an office somewhere. We're a Dominican-Dutch family who lives and breathes this island — and we want to share it with you the right way.

Our story

Born from two worlds, built for yours

Next Dominican Tour started with a simple observation: most tourists who come to the Dominican Republic see only what the resorts want them to see. They leave having experienced a bubble — not the real island.

"The Dominican Republic is one of the most diverse, beautiful, and underestimated countries in the Caribbean. We started this business to change how people experience it."

Yohan was born and raised in Santo Domingo and has spent his career working in tourism, helping thousands of visitors discover the Dominican Republic. His extensive local knowledge, trusted network, and genuine love for his country allow guests to experience the DR in an authentic and memorable way.

Beaudine was born in the Netherlands and lived in several countries before her travels brought her to the Dominican Republic. There, she fell in love with both Yohan and the island. Together, they combine local expertise and international perspective, sharing their passion for the Dominican Republic with travelers from around the world.

Together, we built Next Dominican Tour to bridge that gap: authentic Dominican experiences, delivered with the reliability and service standards that international travelers deserve.

What drives us

Our values

🧭
Authentic over commercial

We only recommend experiences we've personally done and would do again. If we wouldn't take our own family there, we won't take yours.

🤝
Local community first

We work exclusively with local Dominican suppliers — not multinational chains. Your money stays in the community and supports real families.

💬
Radical transparency

No hidden fees. No fine print surprises. Every price is final, every cancellation policy is clear, and we answer every question honestly.

🌿
Respect for the island

We love sharing the beauty, culture, and traditions of the DR while encouraging our guests to experience it with care and appreciation. This island is our home — we protect it.

🛡️
Safety is non-negotiable

Every supplier is personally vetted by us. All vehicles are licensed, all guides are experienced, and all water activities meet international safety standards.

🌍
Bridging worlds

Our Dominican-Dutch background means we understand both the island and the international traveler. We bridge that gap better than anyone.
