Discover this Dominican paradise with this tour of the beaches of Saona Island from Punta Cana. Also, you'll discover some of the less-visited and most beautiful spots on this dreamy island.
Tour Details
We'll pick you up at your hotel in Punta Cana at the designated time. Once we're gathered, we'll set off to Bayahíbe, where we'll board a speedboat to start our Saona Island tour.
During the cruise, we'll make a brief stop at Palmilla Beach. This oasis is a must-see spot where you'll be able to enjoy a swim in the clearest waters you've ever seen.
Afterward, we'll sail to Saona Island, where we'll visit the beaches of Mano de Juan and Caleta. In both, you'll discover unspoiled, vast white sandy beaches filled with coconut trees and other native flora.
Anyone hungry? Well, you're in luck since it's time for lunch! You'll enjoy a traditional menu by the seaside consisting of rice, meat, salad, pasta, and a non-alcoholic drink. Bon appétit!
Having enjoyed a delicious meal, we'll head to the small fishing village of Mano Juan. There, we'll meet the locals and chat with the workers at the sea turtle preservation center, who will show us the care needed for newborn sea turtles.
Our next destination? Los Flamencos beach, a dreamy spot with turquoise waters where we'll relax and enjoy the gentle breeze, and then we'll take a boat ride to explore the mangrove swamps of the area. During this ride, you'll be able to dive into the sea and, if you're lucky, spot the famous giant sea stars. You must, however, be very careful to respect their natural habitat.
Later, we'll have a toast with a glass of Dominican rum, and then we'll be on our way back to Bayahíbe. There, we'll hop on a bus that will take us back to Punta Cana.
We'll arrive at the hotel 8 to 11.5 hours later.
