About Me

Palm Studded Bavaro Beach
Palm Studded Bavaro Beach

With 1,000 miles of coastline, there is no denying the Dominican Republic has some of the most amazing beaches in the world.  That’s just the beginning!  This Caribbean destination has so much more to offer. 

The Dominican Republic truly has it all.

Golf:   Tee Time By The Sea!  Try your hand at any or all of the 26 magnificent golf courses in the Dominican Republic.  Punta Cana offers more than a dozen world-class golf courses created by designers such as Nick Price, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio, and P.B. Dye. 

Chocolate:  Chocolate lovers rejoice!  The Dominican Republic is one of the top 10 producers and manufacturers of cocoa in the world.  Take a tour of a cocoa plantation and learn how the cocoa bean is grown and processed into chocolate.  Let me tell you…it is some of the best chocolate I have had! 

Whale Watching:  If you visit between December and March, you will have the opportunity to spot humpback whales which migrate down to Samana Bay to reproduce in the warm waters.  Take a whale watching boat tour from Samana to see these spectacular creatures. 

Rum and Cigars:  The Dominican Republic fertile soil produces some of the worlds best tobacco and plenty of sugar cane.  Tour one of many cigar and/or rum facilities throughout the island or just kick back and relax in a cigar lounge and enjoy award winning tobacco brands such as La Aurora and La Flor Dominicana. 

Natural Wonders and Eco Tourism:  Home to 9 distinct ecological zones, the Dominican Republic is a nature lover’s paradise.  From lush rainforests to waterfalls to cenotes to 29 National Parks to caves to Pico Duarte (the highest mountain peak in the Caribbean) there is much to explore in the second largest Caribbean country. 

Are you ready to visit the Dominican Republic?  I am here to make sure your vacation is worry free.

Sedona family trip
Reviewed By mbaker - Minnetonka, MN | Traveled to Sedona ~ Arizona ~ USA
Jenny was delightful to work with. She helped me think through different trip options, both the pros and cons to various ideas. Then she found us a wonderful VRBO, took care of coordinating flights for two different groups, and the car rental. She also booked a hotel for one night in Las Vegas. I would highly recommend her.

Fun had by all at Disney
Jenny did an absolutely great job listening to all the input, likes/dislike, expectations and pulled together a stress free enjoyable vacation for us. We did use her touring plans and they were very helpful. There was minimal debating on what to do next, which was nice. great communication along the way. I am sure if she could, she would have ordered warmer than 40° in Florida in January. You were very helpful, knowledgeable and responsive. We will work with you in the future. Thanks!

Family Vacations
Jenny at Whimsical Vacations has planned several of my family's vacations (both Disney and non- Disney). Our Disney World vacations were magical and our other vacations were full of adventure. The daily vacation schedules she provides were effortless and a blast. I recommend Jenny's travel planning services, you won't be disappointed.

Disney with Grandkids
Thank you Jenny for providing us with organized plans for our trip to Disney World. We did not feel like we were running from ride to ride zig zagging around the parks. We were surprised by how many attractions we got in each day. She explained the meal plan and transportation so we knew what to expect when we arrived. Her suggestions for snacks and meals were great. It was a great vacation for us grandparents to have a magical time with our grandchildren.
