Description

Cruise along the coastline with breathtaking views of the landscape's natural beauty. Saona Island's white sandy beaches and coconut palms create a true paradise. Enjoy local rum and Caribbean music, immersing yourself in a Dominican ambience. Have 2.5 hours to enjoy the beach, swim, sunbathe, or savor some cool drinks. Conclude the day with a dip in the translucent waters of the Natural pool. Start in Bayahibe, a charming fishing village and port, the starting point of all the tours to Saona Island. This is where the transfer buses will arrive, and all the participants will gather and get ready to embark on the sailing catamaran using a shuttle boat. Meet your guide on the beach, who will provide you with all the information you need to make the most of this wonderful experience. He'll also give you instructions for boarding, and off you go. Once everyone's on board, the sails rise to navigate towards the island of Saona and its heavenly beaches. The catamaran will first follow the coastline, offering a breathtaking view of the delightful landscapes of Cotubanama National Park, a preserved natural area of outstanding beauty. As you sail through the Caribbean waters, you can enjoy local rum and listen to typical music such as Merengue or Bachata, all while admiring the breathtaking colors of the water and sky. Take advantage of these relaxing moments to recharge your batteries. After about 1 hour and 45 minutes of relaxation aboard the catamaran, you'll finally arrive at Saona Island. Shuttle buses will pick you up and drop you off on a magnificent beach lined with white sand and coconut palms. If you were wondering whether paradise really exists, you'll find out here. The guide will show you the location of the bar (with open-access drinks), the toilets, the buffet, as well as the deckchairs and hammocks you can use as you please. Then it's time to make the most of the two and a half hours you'll have at your disposal on this wonderful island. It's up to you to decide whether you want to start with a swim in the turquoise waters of Saona Island, a photo shoot, or a relaxing moment at the bar with a cool beer. The choice is yours. After your meal, you can swim again or take a well-deserved nap. After these magical moments on this dream island, it's time to board a motorboat for the natural swimming pool. Here, a sandbar allows you to enjoy the shallow, translucent waters. You'll be invited to step off the boat via a small ladder to take a dip while admiring the giant starfish. As tradition requires, a Dominican rum will be offered, accompanied by local music, to round off the day in style. Then it's time to re-board the boat and return to the port of Bayahibe, where your transport will be waiting to take you back to your hotel.
