Cueva Chicho: Swim in a Hidden Cave
After parking the buggies, a short 10-minute walk takes you to the famous Cueva Chicho, one of the most iconic spots on any excursion in Bayahibe.
This natural cave features crystal-clear water of exceptional purity, perfect for a refreshing swim. Equipped with mask, snorkel, and a provided flashlight, you can explore this unique site and admire the light reflections dancing across the turquoise water.
Cueva Chicho is often considered a must-see in the Dominican Republic, thanks to its spectacular setting and peaceful atmosphere. This stop is undoubtedly one of the highlights of your buggy tour in Bayahibe.
Authentic Bayahibe & Local Tasting
Back on your buggy, you’ll drive through the back roads of Bayahibe village, far from the tourist areas, to discover a more authentic side of the destination.
A stop is planned for a tasting of local Dominican products in a traditional setting. Depending on the season, you may enjoy specialties such as plantains, cassava, or sweet potatoes, served with local salami and fresh fruits.
A light aperitif is also offered in a friendly atmosphere, allowing you to fully enjoy this gourmet break. This stop adds a genuine cultural touch to your buggy excursion in Bayahibe.

« Inconnues au départ… inséparables à la fin 💛 »
Une semaine.
Des filles qui ne se connaissaient pas.
Et une aventure qui a tout changé.
Aux côtés de @celia.dahan , elles ont quitté leur quotidien pour vivre bien plus qu’un simple voyage… une vraie parenthèse hors du temps.
Entre les paysages de rêve de Bayahibe et la magie sauvage de Las Galeras, des liens forts se sont créés, des fous rires ont résonné, et des souvenirs pour la vie sont nés.
Ce voyage, c’était bien plus qu’un séjour entre filles.
C’était des rencontres sincères, des connexions inattendues, et une énergie unique qu’on n’oubliera jamais.
💫 La preuve qu’il suffit parfois d’un billet d’avion… pour rencontrer des âmes qui marquent une vie.
