Lake Enriquillo, a hypersaline lake and the lowest point in the Caribbean, is a unique ecological destination within the Dominican Republic's Lago Enriquillo e Isla Cabritos National Park, renowned for its American crocodiles, flamingos, and iguanas. Accessibility often requires a 4x4 due to remote and sometimes rough roads; while observation from roadside points is possible, a guided tour is highly recommended for the full experience, especially for boat trips to Isla Cabritos, offering insights and safer wildlife viewing. The dry season (December to April) is ideal to avoid rain-induced road issues and maximize wildlife sightings, though early morning visits are best to mitigate intense heat. A typical visit, including a boat tour to Isla Cabritos, generally lasts 4-6 hours excluding travel, with approximate costs ranging from $5-$10 for park entry and potentially $100-$300+ for a comprehensive guided tour (including transportation and boat trip). Visitors should bring ample water, sun protection, and insect repellent due to the remote, hot, and humid conditions.
