Private: Saona Island Premium & Mano Juan Day Escape

Discover Saona Island on a full-day tour from Bayahíbe. Swim in the Natural Pool, relax on Canto de la Playa, explore Mano Juan, and enjoy a Dominican lunch with drinks.
Start your adventure with a convenient pickup from your accommodation in Bayahíbe. Head to the port and board a speedboat to cross to Saona Island. Your first stop is the captivating Natural Pool—a shallow, crystal-clear lagoon where you can wade among starfish and enjoy warm, waist-deep turquoise water.

From there, cruise alongside mangrove forests, learning about their ecological importance, until you reach Canto de la Playa: a secluded stretch of white sand, framed by untouched scenery and tranquil waters. Relax here, swim, sunbathe, or simply let the peace soak in.

Later, visit Mano Juan, a fisherman’s hamlet where time moves slowly and the local way of life is laid bare. Engage with the inhabitants, explore the quiet paths, and observe how fishing, boat-building, and island livelihoods are carried out.

Lunchtime brings a flavorful Dominican grilling of fresh meats, complemented by crisp salads and traditional sides—prepared for you by local cooks. After lunch, your return journey is via catamaran, where music sets the mood, dancing is optional, and drinks flow freely.
