? Full Description

Your all-inclusive Saona Island adventure begins with an early-morning pickup, transferring you to the Bayahibe marina. From there, your sea journey begins. You will typically travel by speedboat to Saona Island, maximizing your time spent in paradise. The first key stop is the renowned Natural Pool, a massive sandbar in the middle of the sea where the water is only waist-deep and crystal clear—a perfect photo opportunity and swimming break. Once on Saona Island, you will have ample free time (around 3 hours) to explore, swim in the warm Caribbean Sea, relax under the palm trees, or join a game of beach volleyball.

A hearty Dominican buffet lunch is served right on the beach, accompanied by an open bar that operates throughout your time on the island and the boats. The return journey is aboard a spacious catamaran, shifting the pace to a relaxing cruise with music and entertainment, allowing you to dance, sip drinks, and soak in the sunset views before returning to the mainland for your transfer back to Punta Cana.
