National Park of the East (Parque Nacional del Este) Tours and Activities

Cruise to Saona Island, a protected nature reserve, for a full day of fun and relaxation. Enjoy a leisurely sail to the island, then spend the day strolling the coastline, sunbathing, swimming, or simply enjoying a siesta underneath the palm trees. A buffet lunch is included on this family-friendly outing.

Our National Park of the East private nature tour gets you away from the hustle and bustle and into pristine forest with the best local nature guides around. Our 1.5 hour nature walk takes you through one of the most pristine forests in the Dominican Republic and visits several caves, one of which you can go swimming in. Our adventure begins on the outskirts of the quiet fishing town of Bayahibe, where people have lived and fished for over 1,000 years. Once in the area we set out on a light hike into the beautiful National Park of the East, a vast dry tropical forest and one of the largest parks in the country. We spend the morning exploring the trails and then swimming at a spectacular cave just off trail. Next, we enjoy a delicious Dominican style lunch prepared by a local family in the nearby sea side community of Bayahibe. After lunch we explore the beautiful village a bit and take you to some of our favorite spots in town before heading back.

Our Saona Island private boat tour gets you off the beaten path allows you to discover the natural beauty of the island in a very different way. The largest island in Dominican waters, this beautiful nature preserve is very popular and gets visited by millions of tourists year round. While most of the visitors are only shown a very small portion of the island, our unique nature tour takes you away from the crowds to explore virgin beaches, mangrove forests, coastal lagoons, enjoy an amazing lunch at the sleepy fishing village of Mano Juan, visit a local turtle conservation center, and take a dip in a gorgeous sand bar in the middle of the ocean. Allow us to show you the greener, less touristy side of this pristine tropical paradise!
