Saona Island Excursion: What to Expect
At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up from your hotel to commence our tour. During the journey, we'll make a brief stop, allowing you to stretch your legs or enjoy a quick coffee. Following this break, we'll proceed to Bayahibe, where we'll board a catamaran bound for our destination: Saona Island, nestled within the Cotubanamá National Park.
We'll have fun and dance to traditional music throughout our cruise, enjoy lively interactions with our onboard guides, and revel in the vibrant atmosphere. With an open bar stocked with water, soft drinks, and the renowned Dominican rum everybody is bound to have an excellent time.
Upon arrival at Saona Island, we'll have a two-hour window to swim, unwind on the beach, and soak in the lively Dominican music. If you get hungry, you can enjoy a buffet lunch in an authentic thatched-roof location. This buffet includes a selection of fresh fish, meat, salads, rice with guandules, pasta, and tropical fruits, all accompanied by water and soft drinks.
After the fun, we'll return to the boat for the journey back. We'll take a scenic route around Las Palmillas Beach, known for its coconut trees and beautiful golden sand. We'll also have a stop to swim in crystal-clear natural sea pools, where you can see sea stars and fish, creating a colorful spectacle. Plus, you can continue enjoying the open bar onboard. It's a true party in paradise!
Finally, we'll reach the Bayahibe pier, commencing a roughly two-hour journey back to your hotel. Anticipate arriving back at your hotel after an 11 to 12-hour adventure.
