Description

Discover the beauty of Saona Island on a private speedboat tour from Punta Cana. Enjoy a Dominican buffet lunch, swim in the Natural Pool, and learn about the Taino people.
Begin your day with a comfortable, air-conditioned transfer to the vibrant coastal village of Bayahibe, the departure point for your Caribbean Sea expedition. Board a high-powered speedboat designed to get you to the best spots faster, maximizing your time on this paradise island.

Pass through the protected Cotubanama National Park. Pause near the towering cliffs of El Peñón, where your expert host will share captivating tales of the indigenous Taino people, the island’s earliest inhabitants, and the rich history of the region.

Glide through a serene section of the stunning coastal mangroves, observing this vital, unique ecosystem where the ocean meets the forest. Arrive at Catuano, an ideal location for an optional dip and a short introductory snorkeling session. Submerge yourself into the warm, clear turquoise waters to glimpse the local marine life thriving just beneath the surface.

Next, prepare for the main event: arrival at a pristine, powdery white-sand beach on Saona Island. You'll have ample time—approximately two to three hours—to completely relax. Settle into a sun lounger, soak up the glorious Caribbean sun, or take a refreshing swim in the unbelievably clear shallows.

For lunch, enjoy an authentic Dominican buffet, featuring locally sourced dishes such as grilled fish, seasoned chicken, rice, beans, and fresh salads, served right on the beach.

On the return trip, stop at the famous Natural Pool (Piscina Natural), a vast, shallow sandbar located miles offshore. Wade in waist-deep water, spot the large, gentle cushion starfish in their natural habitat, and enjoy a vibrant open bar experience, sipping on unlimited local rum, ice-cold beer, and soft drinks. Conclude your aquatic experience with a high-speed return to Bayahibe, followed by a seamless transfer back to your initial meeting point.
