? Full Description
You begin with pickup from Punta Cana or Bayahibe and a bus/coach ride to the port. Then you board a speedboat that crosses to Saona Island.
Your first stop is often Canto de la Playa or another beach, where you enjoy free time to relax and explore for about an hour. After that, you’ll reach Saona Island — here you’ll have a gourmet buffet lunch in a VIP beach area, with drinks included.
Post-lunch you’ll get to visit a total of four different beaches (Saona Paradise, Playa Mano Juan, Playa Palmilla / natural pool, plus Canto de la Playa), each offering unique seaside scenery, beach vibes, and swimming opportunities.
