About Saona Island
Located 19 kilometers (12 miles) south of the mainland, Saona Island’s picture-perfect beaches attract more visitors than all of the country’s national parks combined. A protected site spanning 110km2 (42 square miles) and part of Cotubanamá National Park, Saona is a dream tropical escape, where long stretches of brilliant white sand and their giant coconut trees seem to melt into iridescent turquoise waters.
Visitors can take day trips to enjoy the beaches, through various options ranging from speedboat to catamaran. Riding along Saona’s stunning coastline scenery alone is worthwhile. Most trips leave out of BayahÃbe village, from its small waterfront area. Stops in Saona include a swim at Palmilla, a white stretch with a wide natural pool, and at Mano Juan, the only inhabited portion of the island. Saona Island is also the DR’s most important turtle-nesting site.

I recommend it to you for having done this island twice during my stay this excursion is the best of the two. We stop in the middle of the sea cotubanama, to go diving. Great! We really see a lot of fish and corals! 1 hour of diving then 3 hours on the island of Catalina with a very good lunch buffet! Very beautiful islands. Wild. The weather was very nice. Souvenir shop on the beach. The boat was not too full of people it was perfect! Good music on the boat. I recommend this activity!
