From Santo Domingo: Isla Saona Full-Day Tour with Lunch

Escape to the Caribbean on a full-day excursion to Isla Saona from Santo Domingo. Swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean Sea, relax on the beach, and enjoy a buffet lunch with an open bar on the island.

Your day begins with a transfer from Santo Domingo to the boat. Board a catamaran and set sail for Isla Saona. Along the way, you’ll stop at a natural pool where you can swim in the shallow waters and enjoy a drink of Dominican rum.

Upon arriving at Isla Saona, you’ll have 2 to 3 hours to spend on the island. You can relax on the beach, swim in the turquoise waters, and savor a buffet lunch while enjoying the open bar. After your time on the island, you’ll return to shore and be transferred to Santo Domingo.

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 Bayahíbe 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.
