Full Description ?
Your adventure begins with a convenient hotel pickup in Punta Cana, followed by a drive to the charming fishing village of Bayahibe. From there, you’ll board a speedboat to zoom across the turquoise waters, making a legendary stop at the "Piscina Natural." Here, you can wade in crystal-clear, chest-deep water miles from the shore. Afterward, continue to Saona Island for several hours of pure bliss—whether you want to swim, play volleyball, or simply nap in a hammock. For the return journey, hop aboard a large catamaran where the bar remains open and the crew teaches you how to dance Merengue and Bachata as you sail back to the mainland.

This tour exceeded all expectations, an amazing experience. It was one of the best tours that we have been on in a long time.
