Discover the beauty of Saona Island on a day trip from Santo Domingo. Enjoy the Natural Pool, relax on the beach, and savor a buffet lunch with drinks.
PRICE: $92
per person
Begin your adventure with a convenient pickup from our meeting point on front of “ La catedral primada de America” in Santo Domingo. Travel in an air-conditioned bus or van to the port at Bayahíbe.
Board a speedboat from the Bayahíbe pier and head straight to the famed Natural Pool — a shallow, crystal-clear sandbar in the Caribbean where you can stand in waist-high water and see starfish. Take photos, swim, relax, and enjoy a tropical vibe surrounded by turquoise water.
Next, arrive at Saona Island, one of the most beautiful beaches in the Dominican Republic and part of Cotubanamá National Park. Swim in the warm sea, walk the white-sand shore, or relax under palm trees.
Enjoy a buffet-style Dominican lunch served right on the beach — typically including rice, chicken, seafood, salads, and tropical fruit. Beverages such as water, beer, rum, and soft drinks are part of the experience during lunch and often throughout the tour (open bar).
After lunch, have time to swim, snorkel (optional), sunbathe, or explore the island at your own pace.
Board a catamaran for your return trip to Bayahíbe, often with fun Caribbean music, dancing, and drinks on board. Relax on deck, enjoy the breeze, and soak in the ocean views as you head back.
Arrive back in Bayahíbe, then board the transport for the drive back to Santo Domingo, where your tour ends at your hotel or drop-off point.
