Du Du Lake (Dominican Republic attraction) : Yeah, like you're not going to go somewhere called Doo-doo
Once someone said that there is a lake near here called Du Du lake (and Du Du caves) there was no way I was going to skip that. It also just happens to be one of the most incredibly beautiful places I've ever visited.

The DuDu lagoon is located in Cabrera on the north coast of the Dominican Republic and it is a fresh water lagoon that is fed from springs somewhere nearby. What you end up with is crystal clear water inside of a massive sinkhole that is connected to another set of caves that are out of this world.

Thrill seekers will be exited to hear that you can zipline into the sinkhole portion and if you want to you can also feel free to simply jump off the side. It isn't that far but probably scary enough to keep most people from doing it.

On the other side there is a chilled out amazing spot in the shade where they have actually built a bar and some cement platforms with much more sensible jump areas (about a meter or so)

This water is perfectly clear and since you are right at the source of the underground spring the water is actually quite cold, which is great if it happens to be high noon in summer.
I come from Thailand and the part I live in has a Phi-Phi (pronounced "pee-pee") Island as well as a Pu (pronounced "Poo") island in the province i've lived for over 10 years. Therefore, when i found out that there was a "Doo Doo" Lagoon, there was no way I was going to miss it.
I tend to like fresh water moreso than salt, so this was a wonderful trip for me. It is a little far from the major tourist areas but for me anyway, i think the 1 hour drive was worth it (there are, of course places to stay closer than where I was staying, but i don't know anything about them.)

"pee-pee"
I hope no one pees in the water.
All bad jokes aside, it is a beautiful place.
Wao such a wonderdul and unique places.Its looks to much attractive.I love swiming.I want to swim this beautiful lake.You are so enjoying with your friends.Thanks for sharing good moments @gooddream.
I plan on visiting Thailand in my lifetime if I am lucky enough to start travelling one day. I think (from the hundreds of Facebook posts I have seen from my fellow countrymen) it's one of the most beautiful places in the world. Thailand and Canada.
But. This is tempting me to add another place in the bucket list. How beautiful :) Especially the crystal clear waters even though I don't swim (unnecessary phobia) I would like just to stand in the water and look at my toes :D

Holy shit I have to go there!
Funny how tropical salt water can look like freezing fresh water like in Tobermory Canada.
whoa, that place looks awesome. There are plenty of freezing water scenic places too i would imagine :)
Usually, because it is fresh water, I find it not to be quite as clear as this. Tobermory is just far away from TOO many humans, way up north, and on a great lake. Was awesome to see for sure. COLD to swim in though!
@gooddream looks like you have enjoyed the sweet water lake very much... DU DU lake seems like an awesome place to jump-dive-n-swim!
The pictures also bright and crispy and they tell every but of your story.
keep it going. 😋

hello @gooddream how are you doing today?
I just read your post, and this shows that fresh water is very fresh, very different from salt water.
Are you traveling far?
maybe if in my place there are lots of lakes or fresh water like waterfalls that many people visit.
Thank you for sharing, I hope you are given a very exciting trip for you and your friends.
