How the Tour Unfolds
The day begins with a prompt pickup from Santo Domingo, where a comfortable private vehicle whisks you away toward the southern coast of the Dominican Republic. The journey itself is part of the experience—traveling through scenic landscapes that hint at the island’s diverse natural tapestry. Once you arrive, the first highlight is the boat ride that takes you closer to Bahía de las Águilas’ pristine shoreline. This short voyage offers a chance to enjoy sweeping views of the coast, with some travelers noting the unique vistas and peaceful atmosphere.
The Beach Experience
Once on the sand, it’s all about freedom. You’ll have about four hours to explore your private stretch of white sand and turquoise waters. The reviews emphasize the seclusion and untouched beauty, describing it as “a secret paradise that looks like it came straight out of a dream.” The absence of crowds means you can truly relax—whether that’s sunbathing, swimming in the clear waters, or simply taking in the stunning natural surroundings.
The quality of the beach is a major selling point. Unlike busy tourist spots, Bahía de las Águilas remains largely unspoiled, with crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming or snorkeling (if you bring your gear). The fine white sand underfoot, combined with the lush greenery in the background, makes for spectacular photos and a calming environment.
The Food and Drinks
A highlight for many is the included lunch—a thoughtful, freshly prepared meal featuring fish, rice, salad, and refreshing drinks. Many reviews mention how much they appreciated the local flavors and the chance to enjoy a traditional Dominican meal in such a stunning setting. The open bar adds a touch of luxury—offering local cocktails and refreshing drinks that keep everyone refreshed under the sun.
