Destination
Chavon River
Cruise through a tropical river canyon past the iconic Altos de Chavon village. Sunset cruises and day trips departing directly from Casa de Campo Marina.
A River Cruise Like No Other
The Chavon River (Rio Chavon) is one of the Dominican Republic's most scenic waterways, cutting through a dramatic tropical canyon lined with towering cliffs and lush vegetation. Unlike our ocean destinations, a Chavon River cruise offers calm, sheltered waters and a completely different kind of beauty.
Departing directly from Casa de Campo Marina, your yacht enters the river mouth and begins a journey upstream through a landscape that feels almost primeval. Towering tropical cliffs rise on either side, covered in dense green vegetation. As you round a bend, the famous Altos de Chavon comes into view -- a meticulously recreated 16th-century Mediterranean village perched high on the river bluffs. Seeing it from the water is a perspective most visitors to Casa de Campo never get to experience.
Our signature sunset cruise is the most popular way to experience the Chavon River. Departing at 5:15 PM on a catamaran, you will cruise through the river canyon as the late afternoon sun paints the cliffs in golden light. It is a magical 100 minutes that consistently ranks as one of our guests' favorite experiences. This is a truly unique offering -- most charter companies in the area do not provide Chavon River cruises.
