Discover this Dominican paradise with this tour of four beaches of Saona Island from Punta Cana. Also, you'll discover some of the less-visited and most beautiful spots on this dreamy island.
Tour Details
We'll pick you up at your hotel in Punta Cana and start this day trip to discover the four beaches of Saona Island. Ready for a journey to paradise? Let's go!
First, we'll set off to Bayahíbe, where we'll board a speedboat to start our Saona Island tour.
During the cruise, we'll make a brief stop at the natural pool of Palmilla. This shallow oasis is a must-see spot where you'll be able to enjoy a swim in the clearest waters you've ever seen.
Then, we'll reach Canto de la Playa, one of the most beautiful pristine beaches of Saona Island. Here, you can snorkel to see the coral reef near the coast, perfect for observing the marine fauna. Plus, we'll enjoy a tropical fruit snack on board.
Afterward, we'll sail to the beaches of Mano de Juan and Caleta. In both, you'll discover unspoiled, vast white sandy beaches filled with coconut trees and other native flora.
Anyone hungry? Well, you're in luck since it's time for lunch! You'll enjoy a traditional menu by the seaside consisting of rice, meat, fresh fish, salad, pasta, and a drink to choose between water, soft drinks, and beer. Bon appétit!
Having enjoyed a delicious meal, we'll head to the small fishing village of Mano Juan. There, we'll meet the locals and chat with the workers at the sea turtle preservation center, who will show us the care needed for newborn sea turtles.
Our next destination? Los Flamencos beach, a dreamy spot with turquoise waters where we'll relax and enjoy the gentle sea breeze. After this swim, we'll take a boat ride to explore the mangrove swamps of the area. During this ride, you'll be able to dive into the sea and, if you're lucky, spot the famous giant sea stars. You must, however, be very careful to respect their natural habitat.
Later, we'll have a toast with a glass of Dominican rum, and then we'll be on our way back to Bayahíbe. There, we'll hop on a bus that will take us back to Punta Cana.
We'll arrive at the hotel 8 to 11.5 hours later.
