About this experience

Discover the breathtaking beauty of Saona Island, one of the Dominican Republic’s most famous natural attractions. Located within Cotubanamá National Park, this tropical paradise is known for its crystal-clear turquoise waters, white-sand beaches, swaying palm trees, and unforgettable Caribbean scenery.

Your adventure begins with convenient pickup from your hotel in Punta Cana, Bávaro, or Uvero Alto, followed by transportation to Bayahibe. From there, board a speedboat and cruise across the Caribbean Sea. Along the way, stop at the famous Natural Pool, a shallow sandbank with crystal-clear waters where you can swim, relax, and enjoy one of the most unique locations in the Dominican Republic.

Upon arrival at Saona Island, enjoy several hours of free time to swim, sunbathe, walk along the beach, or simply relax beneath the palm trees. A traditional Dominican buffet lunch is served on the island, along with local drinks included throughout the day.

In the afternoon, return to Bayahibe aboard a spacious catamaran while enjoying music, entertainment, dancing, and spectacular coastal views. This full-day excursion is the perfect way to experience the natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere of the Caribbean.
