Description

Get ready for an unforgettable day trip to Saona Island! We will organize the transfer from and to the cruise port for you and you will receive detailed information after booking. Transportation is included in the excursion price. From Bayahibe we start along the coast of the National Park of the East and pass El Peñon, an area that was once inhabited by the Taíno. Our first stop is the charming fishing village of Mano Juan, with no cars and only 300 inhabitants. Explore the village and learn more about the life of the locals. You will also visit the sea turtle project, which aims to promote the survival of hatchlings. After a cool drink under the palm trees, continue to Canto de la Playa, the most remote corner of the island of Saona. Enjoy the untouched nature and crystal-clear water, where you can snorkel or simply enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the surroundings. The next stop is Catuano beach, where a traditional Dominican barbecue lunch awaits you. After your meal, relax in one of the hammocks or take a refreshing dip in the sea. We then explore the mangroves, a protected area in the National Park of the East. Learn more about the importance of mangroves for our ecosystem and look out for sea turtles in their natural habitat. As the mangroves are located within the national park and are protected, we are not allowed to drive into them. We drive past them and stop near the outer mangroves. Our last stop is the enchanting Piscina Natural, a sandbank in the middle of the sea. Snorkel with the large cushion starfish or simply enjoy a drink in the waist-deep, warm water. Now it's time for the return journey and you'll arrive back at our office, where your transportation will be waiting for you.
