Get ready for an intimate journey to Saona Island!

We’ll start by exploring Penon, where our guide will delve into its history and the Taino people. Then, we’ll navigate through mangroves, passing by thriving Palétuvier trees.

Upon arrival at Saona Island, we’ll visit Mano Juan village, observing local life amidst colorful houses and quaint shops. A stop at a turtle nursery managed by locals offers insight into their conservation efforts, although seeing newborns isn’t guaranteed due to seasonal changes.

Lunchtime offers a taste of Dominican cuisine with breathtaking views of Saona Beach. During lobster season (July 1st – February 29th), it’s available for $25 per person. Later, we’ll head to Canto de la Playa, a pristine beach perfect for relaxation or snorkeling.

Our last stop is a natural pool inhabited by large starfish (please refrain from touching). Guests can take a dip in the shallow waters while enjoying refreshing drinks, concluding the journey with unforgettable memories upon returning to Bayahibe port.

The tour will conclude in Bayahibe, where your transport awaits to take you back to the La Romana port.

  1. Rabby

    Fantastic experience! Very comfortable catamaran to enjoy the view with a cold beer or coke and rum! Saona postcard island and the beautiful natural pools, full of starfish! Very kind and helpful staff, a plus also for the fact that they organize excursions with small groups, you are better followed and more comfortable on the catamaran!
