Begin your adventure in Bayahibe, where you’ll board a 23-foot speedboat for an intimate, small-group experience. Cruise through mangroves, observing the unique Palétuvier trees thriving in seawater.

Arrive at the charming village of Mano Juan, stroll through colorful streets, explore quaint shops, and meet warm-hearted residents. A special visit to a turtle nursery managed by a local family offers insight into sea turtle conservation efforts (note: sightings of baby turtles vary based on season and hatching cycles).

Enjoy a delicious Dominican-style lunch at a beachfront restaurant with stunning views over Saona Beach. For an additional $25 per person, lobster is available from July 1st to February 29th.

Post-lunch, relax at Canto de la Playa, one of the island’s most pristine beaches, perfect for sunbathing or snorkeling in clear waters. The final stop is a natural pool, renowned for its shallow, crystal-clear waters and giant starfish (please refrain from touching them). Here, wade through warm waters and savor a refreshing Dominican-style drink before returning to Bayahibe, carrying memories of a lifetime.
