Why Pac Tour

A different kind of Bayahibe excursion.

We're not a party-boat operator. We run small groups, comfortable boats with proper shade, and a captain who has spent his life on these waters.

Safety first

Coast-guard compliant vessel, life jackets for every guest, and clear briefings before we leave the marina.

Real comfort

Shaded boat, padded seating, cold drinks, and pace that respects families and older travelers.

Trusted locals

Pac Tour Excursions works with experienced local guides and licensed captains who know the reefs, the weather and the best quiet spots.

Honest pricing

No upsells on the boat. What you book is what you pay. Free cancellation up to 24 hours.

What this tour is NOT

An honest disclaimer.

We're not the right operator for everyone — and that's fine. Knowing what we don't do is part of how we earn your trust.

  • Not a party boat. No loud music, no drinking games, no chaos.
  • Not a mega-group operator. We cap our groups so the day stays calm.
  • Not aggressive upselling. The price you book is the price you pay.
  • Not a rushed schedule. We respect families, older guests and slow swimmers.

About Bayahibe

A quieter, more authentic side of the Dominican Republic.

Bayahibe is a small fishing village on the southeastern coast of the Dominican Republic — the launching point for Saona and Catalina islands inside the protected Cotubanamá National Park. It's calmer than Punta Cana, walkable, and home to some of the country's most experienced captains.
