Who I am

I'm Edward, and I'd love to show you around

I was born and raised in Bayahibe. Everyone here knows me, and I know everyone. I invite you to explore my village the way I do. I'll lend you my eyes to see the hidden corners of my streets. I'll lend you my ears to hear the unwritten story of our history.

My promise: that you leave with memories that last a lifetime.

What people tell me when we say goodbye

Lo que más nos gustó de las vacaciónes fue salir con Edward. Ya sé que Bayahibe es mucho más que la Isla Saona.

María G. · Spain

I've done tours all over the Caribbean, but nothing compared to this. Edward's passion for Bayahibe is contagious.

Une expérience authentique et inoubliable. Edward est bien plus qu'un guide — c'est un ami du Caribe.

Recuerdos de Bayahibe

The sea is the only thing that's stayed the same here. On my Instagram I share moments stolen from its beauty, and from the life of my village. Come, I'll take you with me in every photo.

The village of Bayahibe

Before tourism.

A historic village

Before it was a fishing village, the Taíno people inhabited this coast, and even Columbus visited. The waters whisper ancient stories, and the coral has been growing since before I was born. This place made me who I am. Let me introduce it to you.
