The Saona Island tour is one of the most popular excursions for visitors to Punta Cana, offering a complete Caribbean experience of natural beauty and fun. The day begins with a comfortable bus transfer from your hotel in Punta Cana to the Bayahíbe port, where the adventure starts.

At the port, you’ll board either a speedboat or a catamaran, depending on the type of tour you choose. The journey to Saona Island takes approximately 30 minutes to an hour, during which you can enjoy panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea and the coastline.

A highlight of the tour is a stop at a sandbar located in the middle of the sea, known for its crystal-clear waters and the chance to swim or snorkel in a natural “swimming pool.” Here, you can immerse yourself in the transparent Caribbean waters and observe marine life in its natural habitat.

Upon reaching Saona Island, you’ll be greeted by a dreamlike setting of white sandy beaches and swaying palm trees. You’ll have free time to relax on the beach, swim in the crystal-clear waters, or explore the surroundings. Some tours also include additional activities such as beach volleyball, guided island walks, or even bike or buggy rides, depending on the tour operator’s offerings.

Lunch is typically a pleasant experience, featuring local dishes such as fresh fish, chicken, rice, and vegetables, accompanied by refreshing drinks. The meal is served in a beachside area specially set up for tourists, allowing you to enjoy your food while taking in the stunning scenery.

After spending time exploring and relaxing on the island, you’ll begin your return trip to Punta Cana. The return journey often features a festive atmosphere aboard the catamaran, with music and drinks available to celebrate the end of a memorable day.
