From here, you’ll board either a speedboat or a catamaran to start your journey toward paradise. On the way, we stop at the breathtaking Natural Pool, a sandbar in the middle of the ocean where the water is waist-deep and incredibly clear—perfect for spotting starfish and taking photos.

A traditional Dominican buffet lunch is served at 1:00 PM, featuring local specialties.
