Prepare for a special trip to Saona Island! We’ll start by exploring Penon, where our guide will tell us about its history and the Taino people. After that, we’ll navigate through mangroves, passing by thriving Palétuvier trees.

When we arrive at Saona Island, we’ll visit Mano Juan village, seeing local life among colorful houses and small shops. We’ll also stop by a turtle nursery run by locals, which shows their conservation efforts, although we might not see newborns due to seasonal changes.
