Private Excursions from Bahia Principe Luxury Esmeralda for Bahia Principe Luxury Esmeralda guests
Private-only excursions out of the Bahia Principe Luxury Esmeralda in Bávaro: your group on its own boat, your own buggy convoy or your own 4×4 — no shared van, no other families on board, your own bilingual guide and a flat charter rate instead of per-person pricing. From this exact base in Bávaro (Bavaro zone) the realistic logistics are: 18 min to Cabeza de Toro for Saona / Catalina / catamaran days, 22 min to the Macao buggy & horse ranch, 28 min to Scape Park (Hoyo Azul, zipline, Indigenous Eyes) — which is why we pitch a stacked 3-day plan: private Saona, private buggy convoy, private sunset catamaran for guests at this hotel. Door-to-door pickup is at 06:55 for morning departures (chef-prepared breakfast on the boat is an add-on; we coordinate it with our captain the night before). Typical fit for this property: Luxury Bahia Principe families and couples, Privileged Club members, European multi-week travellers stacking 3-4 excursions. The private menu we run from the Bahia Principe Luxury Esmeralda lobby covers — private Saona Island day on a 38-ft speedboat with captain, mate and bilingual guide (Palmilla natural pool, Canto de la Playa beach palapa, Dominican lunch on Mano Juan), private sunset catamaran out of Cabeza de Toro with premium open bar, private buggy convoy at Macao (4–10 buggies kept together, never mixed with strangers), private horseback ride along the Macao coastline, fully bespoke combo days (boat morning + ranch afternoon, or yacht half-day + Scape Park half-day). Charter pricing — one flat number whether you're 2, 6 or 12 — typically lands between USD 550 for a private half-day boat (up to 6 pax) and USD 2,400 for a full-day private Saona on a 38-ft speedboat with a personal chef on board; private buggy convoys start around USD 95 per buggy with hotel-direct pickup. Why private from this hotel: charter pricing means the third couple or the bachelor add-ons cost nothing extra, you set the pace (no "we wait for the slow boat" delays), and the captain answers to your group only — sunset stop on the way back, extra snorkel pause, lobster swap-in, all in scope. Luxury Esmeralda sits inside the Bahia Principe complex — we use the dedicated Luxury gate for pickup so you skip the family-resort lobby line at 7 AM and shave 8 min off the morning leg.
