Saona Island Excursion: Sailing, Virgin Beaches and Natural Pool

Saona Island Adventure

Escape to one of the Caribbean’s most iconic destinations with this immersive full-day journey to the paradisiacal Saona Island. After a scenic coastal drive to Bayahibe, you’ll embark on a spectacular voyage across the turquoise sea, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, before disembarking on miles of pristine beaches. The defining feature of this experience is its perfect balance between comfort and natural wonder: you’ll enjoy free time to relax under the palm trees, savor an authentic buffet lunch on the beach, and experience the highlight by stopping at the famous natural pool, a sandbar in the middle of the ocean where you can swim waist-deep, guaranteeing a day of total Caribbean relaxation at your own pace. Logistics Details and Restrictions: Vehicles/Transfers: Ground transportation in a tourist vehicle from the hotel to the Bayahibe port, and maritime transportation (generally combining catamaran and speedboat) to the island. Suitable for: Families, groups of friends, couples, and travelers seeking a day of pure beach relaxation. Restrictions: It is strictly forbidden to touch, lift, or remove the starfish that inhabit the natural pool from the water, in order to protect the ecosystem. Required: Bring a swimsuit, towel, change of clothes, sunscreen (preferably biodegradable), sunglasses, a hat, and extra cash for souvenirs. Additional information: This is a long day trip (between 8 and 10 hours in total), so you will spend a significant portion of the day away from your hotel.

An official vehicle will pick you up from your hotel lobby in the Punta Cana area during the early morning hours to take you safely and comfortably to the Bayahibe pier, where your sea voyage will begin.
