? Full Description

You begin your day with a friendly pickup from your hotel in Punta Cana. From there, you’re transported in an air-conditioned vehicle to the boarding point. Once on the catamaran, you set sail across calm, turquoise waters toward Saona Island.

Along the way, you’ll stop for about 45 minutes at a Natural Pool, where the water is shallow and full of starfish — a perfect spot for photos and a refreshing dip.

After the swim stop, you continue your journey to Saona Island. Upon arrival, you’ll have around 3 hours to explore: relax on pristine white-sand beaches, snorkel around coral reefs, or just unwind in the sun.

At 1 PM, a buffet lunch is served featuring an array of Dominican dishes. You can pair your meal with included soft drinks and alcoholic beverages.

Post-lunch, you board the catamaran again for a spirited return trip. With lively music and dancing, the ride back feels like a party on the sea. Finally, you’re dropped off back at your hotel, filled with memories of a perfect island day.
