Full Description
Your morning begins with pickup from your hotel in Punta Cana (or its resort area). You’ll transfer to the port and board a speedboat or catamaran to Saona Island. Along the way you’ll stop at a striking natural pool in the sea—shallow, crystal clear, with starfish visible under foot. After this refreshing break, you’ll continue to Saona Island where you’ll have several hours of free time. Stroll the white-sand shores, swim in the turquoise water, relax under coconut palms, or play beach volleyball. A delicious buffet lunch of Dominican dishes awaits, complemented by an open bar offering local drinks. Later in the afternoon your return is onboard a catamaran (or speedboat), with music, dancing and festive spirit as you cross back to the mainland, then onward to your hotel, arriving in the early evening.

Reviews
A must do trip! We can't say enough good things about the tour and all the locations.
Such a knowledgeable and awesome team who put in a lot of effort. I can't thank them enough for the time we spent.
This tour was an invitation to connect with the spirit of the region, to immerse ourselves in its culture, and to embrace its unique way of life. We attended local festivals, participated in traditional ceremonies, and learned about the history, art, and music…
Everything from start to finish was incredible! Very friendly team with good language skills.
