? Full Description

Your day starts by being picked up from your hotel in Punta Cana (or related resort area). You’ll travel by bus/coach about an hour to the port at Bayahibe. From there, you board a speedboat (or catamaran depending on the day) to head out to Saona Island. Before reaching the island you stop at a shallow natural pool — a sandbank in clear Caribbean waters — where you can swim and enjoy views, often with starfish visible under the water.

Once on Saona Island, you’ll have time to relax on the beach, swim, stroll along the shore, or lounge under coconut palms. Lunch is served buffet-style — with traditional Dominican food — and drinks (open bar) are included so you can sip as you relax. After enjoying the beach and sea, you return by catamaran (or speedboat) and bus back to your accommodation in Punta Cana by evening.
