  • A truly great experience! Our trip to the DR was about more than just visiting the country, it was about experiencing the culture. Shane scheduled a great balance of baseball and activities that showed us a side of the island I never would have experienced if I had been traveling by myself. Everything was well organized, and Shane’s support team were fantastic. I had a great time and would highly recommend JapanBall to friends that are considering going to the Dominican Republic.

  • The DR 2023 trip far exceeded my expectations as it was a great balance between local culture, food, baseball, and Dominican baseball culture. Shane did an incredible job of meeting everyone’s baseball interest and was able to provide each person their unique experience while we all were on the group tour, that is no easy feat especially with each person coming from different areas of the US.

  • Fabulous trip for all levels of baseball fans! Our family of four each had a different favorite game and tour experience. Shane orchestrated everything to operate smoothly, even when there were last minute changes. He kept throwing surprises at us: posing in front of our home team training camps, hanging out with Miguel Batista and other big name big leaguers and their families throughout the trip.

    Beth

  • Great trip. Shane delivered on the trip that was advertised and went out of his way to provide an experience beyond. Will recommend to anyone interested in baseball and visiting the DR. I hope to travel with JapanBall again.

Local Spend

We at Extra Innings Travel feel that it’s important to intentionally support the Dominican economy with tour funds. At least 40% of Dominicans live in poverty and, even with a wealthy upper class buoying the statistics, the average monthly salary is under $400.

Rather than just skim the culture as fortunate tourists, our tours will benefit the local communities we visit. Approximately 70% of our tour price is earmarked as “local spend” that will stay in the Dominican Republic.
