Description

Begin with a pickup from your hotel in Bayahibe. Hop aboard a speedboat and cruise across the Caribbean Sea to the island. Make your first stop at a stunning natural pool, a shallow sandbar where you'll have the chance to snap a photo with a starfish in waist-deep, crystalline waters. Next, transfer to Isla Saona for a buffet-style lunch on the beach, offering a variety of Dominican specialties alongside salads, fruit, and desserts. After eating, groove to live music and join the beach party atmosphere—an authentic Caribbean celebration. In the late afternoon, board a catamaran cruise back to the mainland. Dance to lively tunes, sip on drinks, and enjoy the festive vibes for about an hour at sea before returning to shore and receiving a smooth ride back to your hotel. The small-group format (maximum 15 participants) ensures a personal and friendly experience, guided in English and Spanish by knowledgeable local hosts—perfect for families and groups alike. Travel in comfort and make memories with sun, sea, and sand as the backdrop.
