La Romana & Bayahibe

Bayahibe Private Transfers & Transportation

Bayahibe is the calmer alternative to Punta Cana: a fishing village with a handful of resorts around it, popular with European and Latin American travelers and far less commercial than the east-coast strip.

It is the gateway to Saona and Catalina and one of the country's diving centres, and it sits next door to La Romana. We serve it as private transfers and point-to-point trips, with the vehicle exclusively yours and the quote fixed before payment. Travelers rate us #1 for transportation in the Dominican Republic on Tripadvisor.

What Bayahibe actually is

Bayahibe is the calmer alternative to Punta Cana: a small fishing village with a handful of resorts around it, popular with European and Latin American travelers and far less commercial than the east-coast strip.

It is also the departure point for Saona and Catalina island trips and one of the country's diving centres, and it sits next door to La Romana — so the airport question and the excursion question both have short answers here.
