Saona Island Day Trip

Spend a day in paradise on the stunning Saona Island, one of the most sought-after beach escapes in the Dominican Republic. Known for its powdery golden sand, crystal-clear waters, and towering coconut palms, this full-day adventure is pure Caribbean magic.

Departing from your hotel in Punta Cana, we’ll head to Bayahibe, where you’ll board a speedboat for a thrilling ride to Saona Island. Along the way, we’ll make a special stop at a natural pool in the middle of the sea, where you can relax in waist-deep turquoise waters and admire the marine life — including beautiful starfish.

On the island, enjoy over two hours of free time to sunbathe, swim, or explore the coral reef coastline. Then, gather on the beach for a buffet-style Dominican lunch.

On the return journey, switch gears and sail back on a spacious catamaran with onboard entertainment, Dominican music, and open bar — the perfect end to a day in paradise.
