The excursion starts with a short briefing to explain the proceedings of the day. We then go to our first stop: the Padre Nuestro Ecological and Archaeological Jungle Trail. Padre Nuestro is located within the area of Parque Nacional del Este just outside Bayahibe. The trail has different pathways, ranging in difficulty along its 1.9 km / 1.2 miles. Sturdy shoes are recommended. The trail takes you through the dry tropical jungle, a landscape of limestone, butterflies and birds, as well as impressive underground fresh water caverns. We will tell you about the history of the Park and you can explore the remains of the Taino settlements, the first inhabitants of the Dominican Republic. You also get to experience the magnificent native flora and fauna, which is unique to the East Coast of Hispaniola

After a 30min walk in the jungle you arrive at this fresh water cave, it comes in perfect timing to fresh yourself and enjoy the crystal clear water. maybe you will even see some bats hanging from the ceiling, where they are used to sleep during the day.
45 minutes
When leaving the first fresh water cave we will take a more or less 15 min. walk back direction to our transportation. When we nearly arrive we will visit the second fresh water cave which is a bit more exposed and has beautiful crystal blue water and looks like out of a dream.
When we arrive at the river, our river boat is already waiting for us. We ill board and then enjoy the scenery ride up the river until we reach our farm Yuca Yena. While on the boat you can take in the beauty of the Dominican jungle and its wildlife. On our Farm we will have a Dominican lunch and coffee. After that you can try out the Tarzan swing, go kayaking or enjoy the pool with a beautiful view over the river: If you would like there is a guided food/fruit trail where you can try some cacao and sugar cane, with explanation on how they are produced.
4 hours
When arriving back where you got o board of your river boat, the bus takes you to Bayahibe, where we started our excursion. To end the day like a local we make a stop at the local Colmado.
45 minutes
Our last stop is the local "supermarket" or in the evening "bar" called Colmado. Even in the smallest village you will at least find one colmado where people buy everything and have a cold beer in the evening.

What an amazing company, we did 2 tours, sanoa Island and the eco jungle tour. Can not say enough good things about them but we'll organised small groups and freindly knowledgeable tour guides, that have passion for there job it's not just for money. If you can book with seavis you won't regret it.
Another amazing excursion
Published on Aug, 2024
We enjoyed our Eco Saona Island tour so much we booked excursion too. We were a group of 7 ranging from 11-43 years and it was suitable for all of us but would not be good for children under 10 or anyone with mobility/health issues as it involves quite a bit if walking and steps into a cave to do swimming in. The walk through the jungle was very pretty but hot so the best bit of that part of the trip was swimming in the cave. For this I would recommend beach shoes as it would be tricky in flip flops and painful with bare feet. The cave was absolutely stunning. The water was beautifully cool and you could even see bats flying above you. I could have spent all day there! From there we went on a boat along the Chavón River. Well, when I say boat, it’s like a floating house/restaurant! You see loads of wildlife- especially birds- and it’s very relaxing. Once at the destination, we had a beautiful meal and then went off kayaking down the river. Once again the beach shoes will be useful as you can swim in the river but it’s very stony. After kayaking it was time for a tour of the fruit farm. This was really interesting and Ingrid was full of good facts plus you to sample some of the things that are grown there. Finally, was time to do the rope swing in the river and pretend to be Tarzan if you liked which was amazing. The last part of the trip was a beer in Bayahibe and, for us, it was a short walk back along the beach to our hotel with photos taken by the professional photographer to remember our amazing day by. Many thanks again to Ingrid and Phil (plus Laura in the office!) for treating us like VIPs!
Awesome day in the jungle!

This tour was so great! Even my 11 yo boy who didn't want to go because it meant he would miss Soccer time at our hotel ended up saying it was really fun. The highlight of this tour was the river cruise with the delicious lunch on the boat and the canoe on the river followed by the fruit tour. The staff at Seavis is super friendly. We highly recommend Seavis and this tour particularly!
Great tour that is great for everyone!

Excellent tour. Our guide was excellent in sharing his knowledge and truly engaged with everyone in the group. Very interactive and fun to swim in the cave, learn about coco. The river boat was great and the lunch was fantastic!
