? Full Description
Begin your morning with a comfortable transfer from your Punta Cana hotel to the port. Board the catamaran and set off across the Caribbean Sea, feeling the warm breeze and vibrant island soundtrack. Your first stop: a shallow natural pool in the sea where you can walk, swim and even spot starfish in the transparent waters.
After this memorable dip, the voyage continues to Saona Island — a tropical haven of fine white sand, calm azure waters and swaying palms. Here you’ll have several hours of free time to sunbathe, snorkel or simply relax beneath the palm canopy.
Lunch is served in true Dominican style: a buffet with local favourites, complemented by the open bar offering rum-based cocktails, beers and soft drinks.
