Bayahibe Travel Guide – the best beaches, excursions, tours and resorts in Bayahibe

Bayahibe is the (very) small counterpart of Punta Cana: a few all-inclusive resorts, turquoise waters and a small fishing village. When visiting Bayahibe, one could imagine how Punta Cana was 30 years ago – peace, relaxation and tranquility. But why should you consider Bayahibe vs. Punta Cana? 

 There are a couple of interesting things to do in Bayahibe, all-inclusive resorts are usually a bit cheaper and two of the most beautiful islands in the Dominican Republic are right next to the little town close to La Romana – doesn’t this sound interesting? This Bayahibe Vacation and Travel Guide explains to you all the differences to Punta Cana and shows you what to do and where to stay in Bayahibe, among much other helpful information.

Bayahibe vs. Punta Cana: the numbers

 Bayahibe is a small sleepy fishing village with just 2000 inhabitants. There are only a few hotels, all-inclusive resorts and guesthouses, a lot of excursion tour operators for trips to Isla Saona and Isla Catalina , and a couple of restaurants and local bars. Everything in Bayahibe is much more low-key and down-to-earth than in Punta Cana. 

Just look at the numbers and you’ll see the difference:

Just from the numbers, you can already see a big difference when comparing Punta Cana vs. Bayahibe.

But this doesn’t mean Bayahibe is not worth a vacation. Contrary, especially if Punta Cana is too busy for you and you like a low-key vibe, it might be the perfect spot particularly if you have already been to Punta Cana. Furthermore, as there is currently (summer 2023) some seaweed in Punta Cana (only occurring during the summer months), you have much better chances in Bayahibe for a picture-perfect beach as the water is always super turquoise and the seaweed is close to non-existent, due to the different currents in the ocean. At the end of this article, I am writing a little bit more about the seaweed situation in Punta Cana and Bayahibe and if you should plan your beach vacation in Bayahibe or Punta Cana.

Where is Bayahibe?

 Bayahibe is located in the southeast of the Dominican Republic. It is approx. a 1-hour drive from Punta Cana away, Bayahibe and Santo Domingo are approx. 1.5-2 hours away from each other (1.5 hours from Santo Domingo Airport to Bayahibe, 2 hours from the city).

 Bayahibes beaches are located on the Caribbean Sea, which is why they are extremely calm and bordered by turquoise and crystal-clear water. When talking about the question “Where is Bayahibe” it is also very important to mention that the ocean here is protected by a peninsula (home of Parque Nacional Cotubanamá) from any currents or rough waters coming from the Atlantic Ocean – another reason why a Bayahibe vacation guarantees the calmest ocean in the Dominican Republic.

Why should you visit Bayahibe?

 Let’s have a look at some of the reasons why you should visit Bayahibe compared to Punta Cana. 

• you have a more authentic vibe in the fishing village of Bayahibe
• all-inclusive resorts in Bayahibe are usually 5-10% cheaper
• you are very close to Isla Saona and can start excursions right from there
• nearly zero chances of seaweed in Bayahibe
• beautiful beaches and turquoise waters
• better snorkeling opportunities than in Punta Cana
• much closer to Santo Domingo International Airport
• as close to Punta Cana International Airport as the northernmost resorts in Punta Cana

 You’ll find additional information on each point further below in this Bayahibe Travel Guide.

 Bayahibe is certainly not for everyone, but it is a more unknown alternative to Punta Cana. You could (theoretically) even count it as part of Punta Cana as the airport transfers to Bayahibe are not much longer than to the Punta Cana resorts located in Uvero Alto.

Obviously, there are some disadvantages as well. Punta Cana is not for any reason the No. 1 holiday destination in the Dominican Republic. Bayahibe has fewer choices when it comes to accommodation and hotels, most of the all-inclusive resorts in Bayahibe cater to a general crowd. There is just one specific family resort in Bayahibe ( Hilton La Romana Family *), only 2 adults-only hotels ( Hilton La Romana Adults-Only * and Catalonia Royal *) and no high-end resort.

Furthermore, fewer Bayahibe excursions are offered (but there are still many things to do in Bayahibe, as you can see below) and renting a car or moving by public transport is more complicated compared to Punta Cana as well. But this shouldn’t prevent you from considering a Bayahibe vacation in the Dominican Republic.

Airport transfers to Bayahibe (from Punta Cana and Santo Domingo)

 To reach Bayahibe, you have a couple of options which I am explaining briefly here. For further options and information, you can visit my detailed posts about the – airport transfers from Santo Domingo and the – airport transfers from Punta Cana . There is also a new separate post about all the – options for getting from Punta Cana to La Romana and Bayahibe here .

From Punta Cana International Airport to Bayahibe

Getting from Punta Cana to Bayahibe by private transfer: The easiest way to get to Bayahibe from the airport is by booking a private transfer from Punta Cana to Bayahibe . It takes less than an hour, brings you right to your Bayahibe resort and costs less than 100 USD per vehicle. You can check out a recommendable operator here *.

Getting from Punta Cana to Bayahibe by a shared shuttle: If you are traveling to Bayahibe on a budget, you can also consider taking a shared shuttle from Punta Cana Airport to Bayahibe *. They are much more economic but are only worth the money if you are traveling alone or as a couple. If you travel with more than 2 people from Punta Cana Airport to La Romana/Bayahibe , it always pays off to book a private transfer than a shared shuttle.

Getting from Punta Cana to Bayahibe by rental car: Driving to Bayahibe on your own is also very easy as you just have to follow the highway until the Bayahibe turnoff and continue the road for another 15 minutes. That’s an easy-going start to your Bayahibe vacation. You can check out here if it is recommendable to rent a car in the Dominican Republic .

Getting from Punta Cana to Bayahibe by public transport: Getting from Punta Cana Airport to Bayahibe by public transport is theoretically possible, but not recommended, as it is pretty complicated (and only possible without big luggage). You have to change busses at least twice (usually even three times) and it takes you an eternity to reach Bayahibe. You can get a first impression here of how the public transport system in Punta Cana works .

Getting from Punta Cana to Bayahibe by Uber: Usually, Uber in Punta Cana is not allowed to pick you up right at Punta Cana International Airport which means you would have to walk outside to the public road with your luggage. Furthermore, Uber drivers are not always accepting rides to Bayahibe as they most likely have to return empty as Uber in Bayahibe is not available. Therefore, for your way back from Bayahibe to Punta Cana , Uber is not an option anyway.

Getting from Punta Cana to Bayahibe by taxi: A taxi from Punta Cana to La Romana and Bayahibe is a viable option, but the service is not the best. Expect to pay at least 100 USD per way + be prepared to haggle if you end up getting a driver not sticking to the official rates. It is more recommendable to prebook your transfer to Bayahibe *.

Bayahibe is located nearly halfway between the two major airports in the Dominican Republic, Punta Cana and Santo Domingo . From Las Américas International Airport in Santo Domingo , it is a less than 90-minute drive to Bayahibe.

Getting from Santo Domingo to Bayahibe by private transfer: When arriving at Las Américas International Airport , your easiest option is to take a private transfer from Santo Domingo to Bayahibe (resort or any other Bayahibe hotel & accommodation), which are usually not that much more expensive than from Punta Cana International Airport . They shall be around 100-140 USD per vehicle per way and you can pre-book them here *.

Getting from Santo Domingo to Bayahibe by shared shuttle: Even when you are arriving at Las Américas International Airport in Santo Domingo , you have the option of choosing a shared shuttle. This option will put you together with other travelers arriving at the same time, allowing a more economic method of airport transportation to Bayahibe.

Getting from Santo Domingo to Bayahibe by rental car: If you want to see more from the Dominican Republic than just your resort, it is also an option to rent a car in Santo Domingo. The journey from Santo Domingo to La Romana and Bayahibe has just a few twists and is mainly a very easy drive hence a rental car is an option.

Getting from Santo Domingo to Bayahibe by public transport: Taking public transport from Santo Domingo Airport to Bayahibe is a bit easier than from Punta Cana Airport, but you still need some flexibility, time and only a backpack to make it happen. You can find more information on public transport options from Las Américas here in this article . To get to Bayahibe, you have to get into Santo Domingo . From here, take either one of the few direct busses to Bayahibe or board a La Romana-bound bus and change there to a small Bayahibe van.

Getting from Santo Domingo to Bayahibe by Uber: Ubers are present at Santo Domingo Airport , but usually, drivers won’t take you for the price quoted in the app, especially for long-distance trips as the prices are ridiculously low, particularly taking into consideration the hefty 35% Uber fee. Therefore, be prepared for some negotiations if you really want to use Uber from Santo Domingo to Bayahibe .

All-Inclusive Resorts in Bayahibe

Once you are in Bayahibe, you need a place to stay. As mentioned, Bayahibe can’t compete with the sheer endless amount of resorts and Airbnbs Punta Cana has to offer, but you still can find a good selection of all-inclusive hotels, guesthouses and vacation rentals in Bayahibe.

 In Bayahibe it is not too complicated to publish a list of ALL all-inclusive resorts in town. There are not more than a dozen, most of them either in the low-budget or medium-class segment. There are no proper high-end hotels yet in Bayahibe, so if you are looking for the best of the best, you better check out those luxury all-inclusive resorts in Punta Cana .

So far, we have visited a couple of Bayahibe resorts . Our favorite is Dreams Dominicus , which offers – in our opinion – a perfect combination of comfort, beach, service and gastronomical options without breaking the bank. Catalonia Bayahibe is recommendable if you’re looking for a cheaper option. The Privileged Club restaurant at Catalonia is top-notch and features an unparalleled location.

Beaches in Bayahibe

 Bayahibe has two public beaches, Bayahibe Beach and Dominicus Beach. Both offer very clear water with a turquoise color and a couple of things to do. You even have some off-the-beach snorkeling opportunities, even it isn’t anything spectacular.

 What makes Bayahibes’ beaches unique is that they are a great alternative in the current Punta Cana seaweed situation (which is a problem of the entire Caribbean incl. Mexico and Central America). While the beaches at Punta Canas’ all-inclusive resorts are usually getting cleaned as good as they can, the public beaches in Punta Cana are sometimes swamped with sargassum (usually during the summer months only and only during certain years). That’s not the case at Bayahibe Beach nor at Dominicus Beach as the currents protect them from being exposed to the Atlantic Ocean.

Bayahibe Beach

 Bayahibe Beach (Playa Bayahibe) is the one located closest to the town center of Bayahibe and is most popular among locals. It has just one all-inclusive resort on the western end, the other parts of the beach are scattered with coconut palm trees, local seafood restaurants and some souvenir shops. The water is pretty shallow and clear and there is a reef close to the beach where you can explore snorkeling. 

Where to stay at Bayahibe Beach: Hilton La Romana is the only accommodation at Bayahibe Beach. Depending on your travel group, you can either book the family section * or the adults-only hotel *. It is one of the best and most popular Bayahibe all-inclusive resorts .  Where to eat at Bayahibe Beach: There are several informal beach shacks where you can get a typical Dominican beach lunch: fried fish, salad, fried plantains (called Tostones), rice, beans and some other side dishes. What to do at Bayahibe Beach: The watersports center of Hilton La Romana is also available for outside guests, so you can book your diving excursion * here or have a ride on the banana boat. All the excursions to famous Isla Saona are also starting at the southern end of Playa Bayahibe. How to get to Bayahibe Beach: From the town center of Bayahibe, there is a road leading right to the beach. You can park your car at the end of the road. If you are staying in a hotel in Bayahibe close to the village, you can also walk to Bayahibe Beach.

 Dominicus Beach (Playa Dominicus) is the second public beach in Bayahibe and is home to the famous Bayahibe lighthouse, which can be easily visited walking – a beautiful attraction in case you’re wondering what to do in Bayahibe. Furthermore, Playa Dominicus offers a beautiful setting, turquoise water and some decent snorkeling opportunities. While most of the beach is lined by Bayahibes’ all-inclusive resorts , there is a public section with restaurants and shops. As all beaches in the Dominican Republic are public, you can also walk along the resorts’ beaches of Playa Dominicus, but there aren’t any amenities.

Where to stay at Dominicus Beach: The majority of Bayahibe’s resorts is located at Dominicus Beach, but unfortunately not a single individual accommodation. For the best all-inclusive hotels along Playa Dominicus, you can check out Iberostar Hacienda Selection Dominicus * or Dreams Dominicus . Where to eat at Dominicus Beach: Restaurant Los Lagos is a local restaurant with a proper seating area at Playa Dominicus. There are some further local shacks and snack shops selling local food and fried fish. What to do at Dominicus Beach: A must-do is to visit Faro Bayahibe, the lighthouse of the town. It is a beautiful photo opportunity (see the photo in the upper part of this Bayahibe Vacation Guide) and can be reached walking along Dominicus Beach. How to get to Dominicus Beach: Head to the center of Dominicus and look for Avenida Eladia, which brings you right to the beach. If coming by car, you can park your car at the parking lot at the end of the road, if you are staying in one of the several Airbnbs in Dominicus, you can easily walk to the beach in 5-10 minutes.

The 10 best excursions in Bayahibe

 Even Bayahibe can’t compete with the diversity and variety of the things to do in Punta Cana , there are plenty of tours and excursions in Bayahibe you can do. For a better overview, we have put together a list of the best Bayahibe excursions you can do during your holiday.

(mobile users: please turn your device to landscape mode to enjoy the best view of this table)

Things to do in Bayahibe

 Besides organized excursions from Bayahibe, you can also venture out on your own and explore different areas. Even the town is not full of adventures, but there are some interesting things to do in Bayahibe you shouldn’t miss and where a guided tour is not necessarily required.

• Lighthouse “Faro Bayahibe”
• Sendero Padre Nuestro
• Cotubanama National Park
• Ocean Walk along the national park

This is probably the most scenic attraction in Bayahibe and one of the top things to do when visiting the little fishing village in the La Romana area. It is located at Dominicus Beach (Playa Dominicus) and features beautiful photo opportunities.

Sendero Padre Nuestro is a little do-it-yourself excursion not far away from Bayahibe. It is a hiking trail, less than a mile long, and leads to a cave with an underground lagoon where you can take a refreshing swim. The water is crystal-clear and is similar to the famous Mexican cenotes. Find out more about this hiking trail in my separate hiking guide about Punta Cana and the surrounding area.

Officially, Isla Saona is part of the Cotubanama National Park, but if you want to explore the much bigger part of the park, which is attached to the mainland, it is only possible by foot. There are not that many specific things to do in this Bayahibe national park, but you can walk to Cueva del Puente, a remote cave inside the park. The trail starts at Cadaques Resort in the south of Bayahibe. Take your GPS or a guide to not get lost.

An alternative way to explore Cotubanama National Park is along the coast, as this is much easier due to more open terrain. Once you have passed Cadaques Resort south of Bayahibe, there is not much of a beach like at Playa Dominicus, but the coastline makes for an interesting walk. You would have to walk far to reach the next proper beach, which is located right opposite the famous national swimming pool, one of the top things to do in Bayahibe and a stop for nearly every Saona Island Excursion . 

If you want to explore some Bayahibe attractions outside of the town, you can also make a half-day trip to La Romana *. The city is not that impressive, but there are a few interesting things to see in the area: two cigar factories (Tabacalera Garcia and Vegafina), Altos de Chavon or the Chavon River are just a few spots you can visit, even it might be easier with a guided tour.

Restaurants in Bayahibe

 If you are staying outside of the usual all-inclusive resorts and are looking for some restaurants, Bayahibe gets you covered. Even you might not find the top-notch beach clubs and fine dining experiences Punta Cana is famous for but you won’t have a problem finding some good Dominican and International fare. Besides local eateries, there are particular many Italian restaurants, as Bayahibe is highly frequented by Italian expats and tourists.

 Some of the best Bayahibe restaurants include:

• Las Palmas, as close as it can get for a fine-dining restaurant in Bayahibe
• Chez Lolo, a French-Spanish fusion restaurant in Bayahibe
• Mama Mia, very affordable Italian fare in Bayahibe
• La Bahía, a Bayahibe restaurant with typical Dominican seafood and fresh fish
• Tracadero, an upscale restaurant with a beach club vibe

The weather in Bayahibe

 The weather in Bayahibe is similar to other parts of the Dominican Republic , although in general a little bit drier, especially when comparing to the mountain areas of the country or the beautiful and tropical Samaná peninsula . I won’t give you any scientific explanations as I am not a meteorologist, but the vegetation of Bayahibe, mostly arid not as tropical as other areas in the Dominican Republic, can act as proof.

 Therefore, if one doesn’t look at every single detail, you can easily assume that the weather in Bayahibe is similar to the weather in Punta Cana, which you can read here in detail .

 In few words, it can be characterized by a tropical climate, always warm, sometimes hot, with occasional showers throughout the year. Officially, the dry season runs from December to April, with daily temperatures ranging between 79 and 85°F, dropping to around 68°F at night. Showers in Bayahibe are rare, there might be some liquid sunshine the one or other day for a few minutes.

 Bayahibe temperatures during summer – from May to September – are slightly higher and can be up to 94°F. The rainy season officially lasts from May to November but is not comparable with the typical monsoon season in Asia. The rainy season in the Dominican Republic is characterized by a few showers a couple of days per week, usually quite heavy in the morning and the evening or at night, with a lot of sunshine in between – perfect for your Bayahibe vacation. Completely overcast days are quite rare, maybe 3-4 per month. 

 The major months for the hurricane season in Bayahibe are from August to October. 

Seaweed in Punta Cana – is Bayahibe the better option?

 One of the main reasons to come to Bayahibe is the ocean – it is so clear, turquoise and like a Caribbean dream. Even Punta Cana has the better beaches , the tranquility and color of the sea in Bayahibe can compete and probably even beat Punta Cana. But in the end, you are fine with either option.

 However, there is one reason why you might consider Bayahibe over Punta Cana, especially now in the summer months of 2023: the Punta Cana seaweed . After some easy-going years with just some light occurrence of seaweed, the last years including 2023 has hit Punta Cana and the entire Caribbean including Central America pretty hard. Tons of seaweed are on the way from the Atlantic to get stranded everywhere in the Caribbean Sea, especially at east-facing beaches. So Punta Cana is not alone with its sargassum , it is an entire Caribbean problem.

 However, the good news is that Bayahibe usually doesn’t have any seaweed as the bay is protected by the peninsula home to the Cotubanama national park. Bayahibe opens up to the west, so it is cut off from the typical Atlantic currents, which is the reason why the ocean is so super calm in Bayahibe – and why there is no seaweed, as opposed to Punta Cana . 

Conclusion: should you visit Punta Cana or Bayahibe?

 Throughout this Bayahibe Vacation Guide, you have seen many advantages (and a few disadvantages) of Bayahibe, hence it is time for a conclusion: should you visit Bayahibe or Punta Cana?

 To be honest, both destinations are great options for a beach vacation in the Dominican Republic. When comparing Bayahibe vs. Punta Cana for the best choice, it mainly depends on what is important for you.

As explained above, seaweed in Bayahibe is never an issue. Furthermore, the ocean is clearer and there are no waves. Bayahibe is also less touristy than Punta Cana, hence you can get a slightly more authentic experience from the Dominican Republic in Bayahibe vs. Punta Cana. Therefore, if you love picture-perfect beaches and want to avoid seaweed at all costs (especially during summer, when seaweed in Punta Cana might be more intense), Bayahibe is a perfect option for you.

 However, when it comes to the question if Bayahibe or Punta Cana is the best vacation option for you, one also has to consider that there are much fewer resorts to choose from in Bayahibe and you also don’t have that many excursion options. Nightlife is very limited during a Bayahibe vacation compared to Punta Cana’s nightlife in case this is important for you. Playa Bayahibe and Playa Domincus are also much shorter, hence if you like extensive beach walks, Punta Canas’ beaches are much more suitable for you.

Thanks for the info about this travel.

You are welcome Ali. Great that this Bayahibe Travel Guide was helpful for you!

Hi, Chris! Just reading the great info on your site. Bayahibe looks beautiful. My partner and I are currently first-time visitors to Punta Cana and wishing it had the vibe of an old fishing village. We’ve danced bachata, merengue and salsa in the DR for a number of years but find it harder and harder to find small, casual places to dance Latin. We love places like Babylon in Las Terrenas, or dancing at open-air restaurants in Las Galeras. We used to find little places in Cabarete, but it’s mostly reggaeton now. We like to dance bachata in particular almost EVERY night while on vacation (doesn’t have to be live music — a DJ or canned music is fine). Is this something we can find in Bayahibe? We truly appreciate your thoughts.

Hey Mia, yes, I can completely understand what you mean. Punta Cana is a big billion-dollar tourism industry. Compared to Punta Cana, Bayahibe is a small fishing village and it indeed has the vibe of a local village. There are for sure some places where you can dance authentic Bachata and Salsa. However, it still can’t compete with Las Terrenas, Las Galeras or Cabarete. Chris

Tell me pros and cons of Bahayibe and Samana. We stay in airbn and want be on beach with pool. Need know where grocery shop etc.

Hi Cherie, thanks for your comment. Well, this is not easy to explain in a few words, but I’ll try: Bayahibe: close to Punta Cana Airport, easy access, very relaxed, ideal for Saona excursions, hardly any beachfront apartments, no big grocery stores Samaná (Las Terrenas): further away from international airport, many affordable apartments, amazing and pristine beaches, busy and bustline town, large supermarket in town I hope this helps as a beginning. If you interested in a personal and extensive evaluation, it would be a perfect topic for my travel coaching: https://www.puntacanatravelblog.com/travel-coaching/ Best regards Chris

AVENTURE DE LA JUNGLE

Circuit écologique dans la jungle au départ de punta cana et bayahibe., découvrez le parc national de l’est., découvrez la jungle avec le jungle eco tour depuis punta cana et bayahibe..

Au cours de cette excursion, vous découvrirez la jungle du parc national de l’est et ses environs directs. Ce parc est bien connu pour les excursions vers les îles de Saona et Catalina. Notez que la partie terrestre du parc est pratiquement inexplorée.

Nature, culture et histoire :

Il ne s’agit pas d’un voyage d’achat déguisé comme beaucoup de « safaris », mais d’une véritable visite de la jungle. Guidée par des experts et des gardes forestiers. Cette excursion vous permettra de découvrir les différentes parties du parc : la jungle dense et sèche, la faune et la flore et l’histoire particulière des personnes qui vivaient dans la région, avant l’inauguration du parc. Nous visiterons une magnifique grotte dans le parc national. Nous suivrons la piste des Indiens Tainos jusqu’à la rivière Chavon où nous découvrirons l’origine des mots Taino « Canoa », « Yuca » et bien d’autres. Une journée détendue pour l’explorateur actif.

Itinéraire de cette excursion dans la jungle :

Explorez le pays du mystère et de l’imagination

Cette excursion guidée permettra d’explorer le Parc National de l’Est. Nous nous retrouverons au centre des visiteurs sur la plage de Bayahibe. L’excursion commence par un court ‘’briefing’’ pour expliquer le déroulement de la journée. Nous nous rendons ensuite à notre premier arrêt : le sentier écologique et archéologique de la jungle Padre Nuestro. Padre Nuestro est situé dans la zone du Parc National de l’Est, juste à l’extérieur de Bayahibe.

Une randonnée facile à travers l’histoire des Tainos…

Le sentier comporte différents chemins, dont la difficulté varie le long de ses 1,9 km / 1,2 miles. Des chaussures robustes sont recommandées. Le sentier vous emmène à travers la jungle tropicale sèche, un paysage de calcaire, des papillons et des oiseaux, ainsi que d’impressionnantes cavernes souterraines d’eau douce. Nous vous raconterons l’histoire du parc et vous pourrez explorer les vestiges des colonies Taino, les premiers habitants de la République Dominicaine. Vous pourrez également découvrir la magnifique flore et la faune indigènes, uniques sur la côte Est d’Hispaniola.

À la fin du sentier, nous visiterons les sources d’eau douce isolées à l’intérieur des grottes. Nous descendrons dans la grotte Cueva de Chicho. Cette grande grotte à au fond un lac souterrain étonnant. Utilisé comme source d’eau depuis l’époque préhispanique, il reste une importante collection de grands objets en céramique. Au total, 26 pétroglyphes sont visibles à l’entrée de la grotte.

Excitation : nager dans la grotte dans une eau cristalline…

Stalagmites… Stalactites… chauve-souris et art rupestre… Ceux qui le souhaitent peuvent descendre au fond de la grotte et nager dans le lac d’eau douce et froide qui s’y trouve. Vous pouvez profiter du spectacle, lorsque nous illuminons les cristaux enfoncés dans les parois de la grotte en grès. C’est le pays du mystère et de l’imagination…

Rencontrez la population locale et respirez la culture locale

L’étape suivante est le village de Benerito (10 minutes de Bayahibe) et en particulier le « Campo Padre Nuestro ». Il s’agit du nouvel établissement où les habitants du parc national ont été relogés lors de l’inauguration du parc. Il montre une communauté vibrante et colorée. Nous visiterons le projet de bijouterie sponsorisé par l’USAID pour aider les femmes à avoir un revenu…

Détendez-vous sur la croisière fluviale à travers la gorge du Rio Chavon…

Après un court trajet en voiture, nous atteindrons le fleuve Chavon. Nous monterons à bord d’un bateau traditionnel et ferons une croisière à travers la gorge de cette magnifique rivière.

Le décor cinématographique des films à succès… vous verrez pourquoi…

La jungle tropicale est visible sur les rives. Les films à succès Apocalypse Now et Rambo 3 ont été tournés ici. Nous allons rejoindre notre ferme au bord de la rivière.

Comment une petite culture Taino a sauvé le monde de la famine…

Ici nous donnerons plus d’informations sur le mode de vie des Tainos. Certains des mots que nous utilisons, comme barbacoa (« barbecue »), hamaca (« hamac »), kanoa (« canoë »), tabaco (« tabac »), yuca, batata (« patate douce ») et Juracan (« ouragan »), proviennent de la langue Taino. Vous pourrez déguster les petits plats préparés à la manière traditionnelle taino.

Déjeuner traditionnel préparé à la manière Taino.

Il est suivi d’une « barbacoa » dominicaine traditionnelle, avec des côtelettes de porc, des ailes de poulet, du riz dominicain traditionnel, de la « batata », des platanos et diverses salades.

Si vous voulez simplement vous détendre : le jacuzzi avec la meilleure vue du monde

Après le déjeuner, vous pourrez vous détendre dans notre jacuzzi situé au-dessus de la rivière ! Vous pouvez également essayer l’un des hamacs.

Découvrez les secrets de la « vie de la terre ».

Si vous le souhaitez, vous pouvez participer à notre sentier des fruits. Nous vous montrerons un grand nombre de fruits locaux et vous expliquerons comment les gens vivent de la terre ici. Nous continuons vers le point de vue, en traversant notre « pont suspendu » sur la marche.

Sentez-vous comme un véritable explorateur en naviguant sur une petite rivière latérale en canoë.

Vous pouvez participer à notre aventure en canoë sur une petite rivière latérale du Rio Chavon. Nous nous enfonçons plus profondément dans la jungle et devons naviguer à travers les lianes suspendues et autour des arbres tombés. Nous pourrons peut-être y voir des tortues d’eau douce.

La vie du village : achetez vos souvenirs au prix local

Nous retournons maintenant à Bayahibe. Nous allons vous montrer quelle est l’influence actuelle du parc national sur le village. Des milliers de touristes affluent quotidiennement à Bayahibe pour embarquer sur les bateaux à destination de l’une des îles. L’économie locale dépend à 100% de ce flux de touristes. Vous avez également la possibilité d’acheter du rhum etc. à des prix raisonnables dans le colmado local. Vers 17h00, nous retournerons à notre centre de visiteurs surplombant la baie de Bayahibe pour le retour aux hôtels.

Moscow: City Sightseeing by Car/Bus

• Description
• Choose date

Visiting a new city is akin to going on a first date, it is something you will never forget. Many people imagine Moscow as just a bunch of sporadic landmarks: Red Square, the Kremlin, Lenin’s Mausoleum and GUM. There is so much more to this wonderful city than that and even though we only have a few hours, we will do all we can to show you everything we know and love about our capital in one fell swoop. We will take you on a journey through the ages, from centuries ago, right up to the modern day, soaking in the sights of this vast and bustling metropolis. Bright, luxurious and both ancient and modern at the same time, Moscow invites you on a date you’ll never forget!

On our sightseeing bus tour of the city, you will see:

• The wonderfully historic city centre and its unique museums, magnificent cathedrals, the exquisite Chambers of the Romanov Boyars and of course, the famous towering red brick walls of the Kremlin, The charming beauty of the Alexander Garden awaits the capital's guests - a lush green oasis in the midst of the glass and concrete clad metropolis, basking in the etherial aura emanating from the whitewashed stone walls of the restored Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the world- renowned fairytale onion domes of St. Basil's Cathedral and other impressive monumental buildings such as the library built in Lenin's honour - the Russian State Library - and the State Duma.
• The Lubyanka KGB headquarters is notorious to members of older generations and although nowadays, the face of the secret police has changed dramatically, the looming enigmatic building on the waterfront maintains its aura of mystery, shrouded in a variety of murky rumours and dark myths. Then, there’s another of Moscow's main attractions - the marvellous Bolshoi Theatre, yew simply cant leave Moscow without taking in its breathtaking architecture. Engrained in the fabric of Russia's cultural heritage, virtuoso performers such as prima ballerina Galina Ulanova, opera singer Feodor Chaliapin and pianist, composer and conductor Sergei Rachmaninoff once stood centre stage of this vaunted institution.
• The memorial complex on Poklonnaya Hill was constructed in the glory and honour of our heroes who defended our nation in the many crucial battles of the Great Patriotic War (WWII). This is a place that embodies a particularly acute and inextricable link between older ancf younger generations. Moving on to the Moscow International Business Centre, not dubbed ‘Moscow City' for nothing, a true glimpse of the future in the present. This incredible, rather jaw-dropping project in the capital has shown that Moscow has come to accept the age of the skyscraper. Finally, the stunning views from the observation deck at Sparrow Hills will leave professional and amateur photographers alike itching to capture them. How could one resist?
