We had the best day ever!...
We had the best day ever! Angel transported us to and from our Airbnb- which was very nice. It was me and my husbands first time riding horses which was no problem! The horses were very calm and he taught us how to ride. The whole ride we were in awe of the beautiful trail and the nature around us. I’d reccomend this trip to anyone! We would love to come back someday. Very beautiful place and very nice people! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great experience
We had a really good time. Depending on the time of year, prepare for a hot day where you might encounter some mud. The guides were very helpful and considerate though.

This tour is one of the best in the Dominican Republic.
This tour is one of the best in the Dominican Republic. We had so much fun and great experiences! We had a wonderful guide and driver, who showed us how to ride an electric bike and took us to the most beautiful places in Bayahibe. We saw how almonds, mangoes, guavas, and avocados grow. The guide was always there to take care of us. We also visited a beautiful cave with a lake and took a swim. The water was cool and clean. We highly recommend this tour to everyone. Don't miss the chance to explore the town, visit the national park and the cave. It was a true fairy tale...

Unforgettable experience! Highly recommend
My husband and I booked this tour while staying in Bayahibe, we are mountain bikers and this excursion peaked our interest. Let me tell you it did not disappoint!! One of our best experiences during our stay. It ended up being only my husband and I on the tour so it felt very personalized and we were thankful they still went with such a small group. The ride through Bayahibe and all the way to the cave was absolutely amazing. The guide was so fun and patient letting us swim the cave as long as we wanted. Keep in mind there is no place to change into your swimsuit so wear one underneath. We wore athletic shoes for the bike/hike and packed water shoes in our bag to change into for the cave. They provided water and even bananas for us when we got back in the van. Unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!!!

From a seasoned e- bike rider- one of the best!
We do e- bike tours everywhere we travel and this was one of the most engaging for those who want the adventure of a bike. Wilken— our tour guide kept in communication with us regarding the excursion and is polite, helpful and a very friendly guide. How lucky we received a private tour and learned so much about the community, country and natural beauty of Bayahíbe and Dominicus. We saw a natural spring, rode through the town and met to the national park to enjoy cave Chico. What a highlight! The e- bike was in great condition and it was an adventurous ride dodging a few puddles, cars and motorbikes, crabs, goats, butterflies, rocks and coral- yes coral.
We appreciated this wonderful few hours- one of the best e-bike experiences EVA!

Bikes and caves and swimming
Let's start with the bad - schedule was changed the day before to 1pm from 9am. Luckily, I was able to make that work, but then they were also over 30min late. We hopped on the bikes immediately and took off (with basically no explanation of how the bikes worked but I did get a helmet). The bike was a bit worse for wear but functioned just fine (tires could have used some more pressure). The ride to the cave was fun and we rode all the way, which the guide said he usually doesn't due since the last bit is uphill and actually rather technical with exposed bedrock). The cave was amazing and I was able to swim a bit with only a few other people. I think we were in there for maybe half an hour before a larger group came. The ride back was also great and you get to head down a path by the beach between Bayahibe and Dominicus.
I wouldn't hesitate to do this again... the schedule change was annoying but I'm guessing it was due to me being the only participant. I'm probably just lucky it didn't get canceled!
The guide is super nice and I found out he's a fellow mountain biker.
