Description

Saona Island: Small Group Virgin Beaches Cruise Day Trip

Embark on an unforgettable adventure as you cruise through the stunning landscapes of Cotubanama National Park and the breathtaking shores of South Saona. This tour offers convenient departure points from picturesque Bayahibe Village, charming Dominicus, lively Punta Cana, the beautiful areas of Bávaro and Uvero Alto, as well as Juan Dolio and Boca Chica. Choose between an intimate private tour or a lively group experience to suit your preferences.

Your journey begins at Cotubanama National Park, where you’ll glide through crystal-clear waters toward the majestic El Peñón, a towering cliff steeped in history. Here, your knowledgeable English-speaking guide will captivate you with intriguing stories about the region’s past, including insights into the Tainos, the island’s first inhabitants. Marvel at the lush mangroves as you sail, their vibrant green reflecting in the shimmering sea.

Next, set your sights on the idyllic Saona Island, where the quaint fishing village of Mano Juan awaits. Wander the narrow streets lined with colorful houses adorned with local art and vibrant decorations. Visit the turtle nursery, where you’ll have the chance to learn about the incredible journey of these marine creatures and, if conditions allow, see tiny hatchlings as they make their first steps into the world.

Indulge in a delightful and authentic Dominican meal at a charming restaurant boasting breathtaking views of Saona beach. Savor traditional flavors as you take in the tranquil surroundings, immersing yourself in the rich culinary culture of the island.

Afterward, head to Canto de La Playa for two hours of blissful relaxation and snorkeling. Swim in the warm, turquoise waters teeming with vibrant marine life and explore the underwater wonders that await you. Conclude your day at a serene natural pool, where you can marvel at the stunning starfish dotting the sandy bottom, take a refreshing dip, and sip on delicious rum as the sun sets on your magical day in paradise.
