Introducing the Route of the South VIP Private Eagles Bay Tour
If you’re dreaming of soaking up some of the most breathtaking views the Dominican Republic has to offer, this 2-day all-inclusive tour might just be your ticket.

Day 1: Exploring Barahona and Beyond
The day begins with pickup in Santo Domingo, which means you can relax knowing transportation is sorted. The journey to Barahona is quite scenic, with your first stop being Sambil Santo Domingo, a convenient pickup point. From there, you’ll head southwest, passing through vibrant landscapes to reach your first notable stop: Malecon de Barahona.

Next, the tour takes you to the Spa the Virgin, a beautiful spot with natural scenery and refreshing waters—great for a quick dip or just soaking in the views. The following stop is Paraiso Spa Los Pósitos, where you get to enjoy a natural pool in a lush setting—ideal for snapping photos of the landscape or simply relaxing in the clear waters. It’s a visit to natural beauty that’s truly worth the time.
The journey continues to Los Patos, home to the smallest river in the Antilles. Its crystal-clear waters are highly praised and perfect for a quick dip. One reviewer called it “breathtaking,” and that’s no exaggeration. Then, you’ll see Parque Eolico Los Cocos, a wind farm that makes for a striking photo with its wind turbines set against the Caribbean backdrop.
Afterward, the tour visits Lago Oviedo, a stunning lake featuring lush vegetation and crystal waters, making it a favorite among travelers for its scenery. The next stop is Pedernales, where you’ll briefly visit the Haitian border market—an interesting cultural and trade point—and then take selfies at the Malecon de Pedernales with colorful signs and scenic coastlines.
Day 2: The Crown Jewel – Bahia de las Aguilas and Other Highlights
The highlight of the second day is Bahia de las Aguilas, widely regarded as the most crystal-clear beach in the world. The pristine white sands and turquoise waters are truly spectacular, and the 3-hour visit gives you ample time to relax, swim, or just marvel at the scenery. This stop alone often justifies the trip, and many reviews praise it as “a magical place” not to be missed.
After soaking in Bahia de las Aguilas, the tour heads to San Rafael Beach, another popular spot with a river and beach combo. Visitors love the crystal-clear river, perfect for a swim or just enjoying the peaceful setting. One reviewer called it “the most visited in the region,” which hints at its popularity and natural appeal.
What’s Included and What to Expect
This tour is designed as an all-inclusive experience—your meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner for both days), and some entrance fees are covered. This not only simplifies planning but also offers great value, especially when considering the variety of stops and scenery.
You’ll be traveling in a private group, which fosters a more intimate and flexible experience. The transportation is comfortable enough for long hours on the road, but be prepared for some time spent in transit—this is part of exploring a large, scenic region.
The Good, the Bad, and the Authentic
Reviewers consistently appreciate the knowledgable guides, who seem to add a layer of authenticity and friendliness to the experience. Many mention how well-organized and responsible the team is, with comments like “super responsible” and “good service,” which are important when venturing into more remote areas.
Food is often highlighted as a strong point, with travelers praising the delicious, fresh meals—a welcome break from typical tour fare. The natural scenery and beaches, especially Bahia de las Aguilas, are often described as “spectacular” and “beautiful,” making the trip worthwhile for nature lovers.
However, not all reviews are glowing. Some travelers mention disruptions like loud music and unruly guests, and a few criticize the long bus rides or the lack of responsibility from some guides regarding alcohol consumption and behavior. These issues underscore the importance of setting expectations: this is a tour packed with sightseeing and socializing, which might not suit everyone looking for a perfectly tranquil experience.
