Beskrivning

Explore Saona Island on a guided tour from Punta Cana. Visit a fishing village, relax on a secluded beach, enjoy a BBQ lunch, and snorkel among starfish at Piscina Natural.
Embark on an exclusive adventure tailored for cruise guests, exploring the pristine beauty of Saona Island in small groups led by professional guides. Your journey begins with a scenic speedboat ride along the coast of the National Park of the East, passing by El Peñon, an area once inhabited by the Taíno people.

Make your first stop at the charming fishing village of Mano Juan, home to approximately 300 residents and devoid of cars. Immerse yourself in the local culture and visit a sea turtle conservation project dedicated to promoting the survival of hatchlings.

Next, venture to Canto de la Playa, the island's most secluded beach, renowned for its crystal-clear waters and untouched nature. Enjoy snorkeling or simply relax amidst the breathtaking surroundings.

At Catuano Beach, indulge in a traditional Dominican barbecue lunch featuring BBQ pork chops, fried chicken, rice, pasta, potatoes, salad, and fresh fruit. Post-lunch, unwind in a hammock or take a refreshing dip in the sea.

Continue your adventure as you explore the mangroves, a protected area within the national park. Learn about the vital role mangroves play in the ecosystem and keep an eye out for sea turtles in their natural habitat. Due to conservation efforts, boats do not enter the mangroves but pass nearby, allowing for observation.

The final highlight is the enchanting Piscina Natural, a sandbank in the middle of the sea. Here, you can snorkel among large cushion starfish or enjoy a drink in the waist-deep, warm waters.

After a day filled with exploration and relaxation, return to the starting point, where your transportation back to the cruise port awaits.
