Description

Your Saona Island adventure begins with a convenient pick-up from your Punta Cana hotel, where you’ll board an air-conditioned vehicle to the picturesque fishing village of Bayahibe. From here, you'll embark on a scenic catamaran cruise across the Caribbean Sea. Feel the ocean breeze and sway to the rhythm of tropical music as you sip refreshing drinks from the onboard open bar. Relax on the deck or dance along with your fellow travelers as you sail through the turquoise waters. Your first stop is at the famous Natural Swimming Pool, located in the middle of the sea, known for its shallow waters and white sandbanks. Here, you'll get to swim in crystal-clear water, surrounded by starfish, and marvel at the beauty of this unique natural setting. This is the perfect opportunity to take amazing photos and enjoy the pristine Caribbean environment. Once back on the boat, the journey continues to Saona Island, a tropical oasis of lush palm trees, powdery white sands, and stunning blue waters. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by the island’s relaxed, tranquil atmosphere. You’ll have several hours to explore and unwind on the beach, swim in the calm, warm waters, or simply lounge under the shade of palm trees. The island is part of the protected Cotubanamá National Park, and you’ll quickly understand why it’s considered one of the Dominican Republic’s top attractions. At lunchtime, indulge in a delicious Dominican buffet, served right on the beach. The buffet features a variety of traditional dishes such as grilled meats, fresh seafood, rice, salads, and tropical fruits. Enjoy unlimited drinks from the open bar while you take in the breathtaking view of the ocean. After lunch, you’ll have more free time to explore the island. Take a walk along the beach, snap some memorable photos, or join a friendly game of volleyball with other guests. For those seeking adventure, snorkeling equipment is available upon request, allowing you to discover the vibrant underwater life that thrives around Saona’s coral reefs. As the afternoon winds down, you’ll board a speedboat for a thrilling ride back to the mainland. The speedboat experience adds a touch of excitement to your relaxing day, offering a fun and fast way to end your island escape. Finally, you'll arrive back at Bayahibe, where your comfortable transport will be waiting to take you back to your hotel. This full-day tour is the perfect combination of adventure, relaxation, and tropical beauty, giving you an unforgettable taste of paradise in the Dominican Republic.
