Saona Island from Punta Cana

Description
Overview ?️
Escape to the breathtaking Saona Island, a stunning tropical paradise located within the Cotubanamá National Park. This full-day adventure takes you away from the hustle and bustle of the city and into the heart of the Caribbean.

⭐ Enjoy several hours of free time on the white sands of Saona Island.
⭐ Feast on a delicious, traditional Dominican buffet lunch served right on the beach.
⭐ Sip on unlimited drinks from the open bar throughout the day.

After a few hours of island bliss, enjoy a hearty Dominican lunch featuring grilled meats, rice, and fresh tropical fruits.
