From $64.72Cave & Cueva Tours in Dominican Republic
Showing 2 activities · Sorted by traveler rating
Beneath the Dominican Republic lies a network of limestone caves and underground rivers shaped over thousands of years. Cave tours take you into chambers hung with stalactites, past Taino rock art, and down to hidden pools like Cueva del Chicho near Bayahibe, where you can swim in cool, still water far from the heat above.
These outings suit travelers who want something cooler and quieter than the beach. Operators provide a guide and usually a headlamp or torch, and most trips include a short walk over uneven ground. Wear closed shoes with grip, bring a swimsuit for the cave pools, and expect patchy phone signal once you are underground.
