Day Trip Details

We'll pick you up from your hotel at the indicated time, transporting you to the heart of the Dominican Republic. Get ready to uncover mesmerizing landscapes!

Our first stop is along the banks of the Chavón River, where a scenic 6-kilometer (3.7-mile) river walk awaits, allowing you to immerse yourself in the beauty of the local fauna, including the remarkable rhinoceros iguana.

Continuing our voyage, we'll sail to the mouth of the Chavón River, then navigate the Caribbean Sea to explore the Atlantis Princess, an ancient sunken freighter nestled near reefs—a perfect spot for snorkeling. Afterward, we'll head to a nearby sandbank, offering another opportunity for a delightful snorkeling experience.

Our course then leads us to Saona Island, renowned as one of the Dominican Republic's most beautiful destinations. You'll have approximately three hours of free time to stroll along the beach, swim in crystal-clear waters, and relax under the shade of towering palm trees.

Delight in a buffet lunch at a beachside restaurant featuring Arab rice, pasta, vegetables, breaded fried chicken, grilled pork chops, and a refreshing green salad.

Afterward, we'll try to spot turtles on Saona Island, one of the largest sandbanks in the world. The last stop will be at Altos de Chavón, a Mediterranean-style village whose architecture and landscapes will surprise you.

At the end of the tour, we'll take you back to your hotel, where we'll conclude this activity lasting between 9 and 11 hours in total.
