river chavon cruise

Chavon Special Tour

We'll start with the great Chavon River Cruise on our traditional river boat. After 45 minutes we'll arrive at Yuca Yena, a small jungle farm on the banks of the Chavon river. We enjoy a delicious lunch deep in the jungle.

The tour includes a canoe adventure, exploring a little side river of the Chavon and a fruit trail leading you over our exciting hanging bridge.

Those who are less active can spend a relaxing time in the jacuzzi with splendid views high above the river.

The transfer from the cruise port to our La Romana Excursions

Taxi Casa the Campo

The taxi fares from the cruise port to Bayahibe (25 minutes) and back will be arranged by "TAXI CASA DE CAMPO". This is an independent company. As soon as you leave the ship, you'll see the coordinator of the taxi association with a sign "TAXI CASA DE CAMPO". Ask for "TAXI CASA DE CAMPO" while on the port grounds and you will be guided to the parking of this taxi company. We send clear instructions in the excursion voucher. The port taxi coordinator has your name on a list.

The Transfer Code

Depending on which excursion you have booked with us you will get a TRANSFER CODE together with your confirmation email. Please remember the TRANSFER CODE and when arriving at the parking of TAXI CASA DE CAMPO please provide the transfer code to the drivers, so you will get into the right taxi.

Paying for the transfer

The costs for the round trip taxi fare is USD 15 per person and free for babies 0-1 years of age (these babies are seated on the lap of one of their parents) for the Saona Special (excursions starting at our visitors center in Bayahibe) and USD 8 per person, free for babies 0-1 years of age (these babies are seated on the lap of one of their parents) for the Rio Chavon Special that starts at the river. To make things easy, the taxi fees are paid together with the excursion to us and we pay the taxi drivers. The transport costs are included in the voucher of your excursion.

Deposit Required

Due to a high number of 'No Shows' we are forced to ask for a deposit with each booking of Carnival passengers. The deposit is 40% of the amount due. You will receive the payment details togehter with your booking confirmation.

Cancellation Policy

In case you notify us of a cancelation 24 hrs or longer before we will refund the deposit. The deposit will also be refunded if the ship for some reason doesn't port in La Romana or if SeavisTours has to cancel the excursion for some reason (e.g. weather).

Have a great Caribbean cruise and take a wise decision when selecting your shore excursions.
