Dominican attitude was the best guide! Wish we could have seen more turtles but seeing them and dolphins was amazing!

Other than a boat malfunction and no turtle sighting because of lack of time due to the boat malfunction, the trip was exceptional. Drivers were good except the last one who did not know where to take us and did not not discuss with us where we were staying. We were late getting back to the hotel as a result. I bumped my head on the boat exit causing a bruise but accidents do happen. Beach location was great and starfish gazing was super great. Pictographs in the cave were astonishing. Lunch was great. Snorkeling was OK but very limited due to the rocks.

Full description

Embark on a fantastic journey starting with a pickup and a drive to Bayahibe, the launching point for your adventure. In Bayahibe, you'll board a speed boat that will transport you to the breathtaking Cotubanama National Park. Along the way, you'll have the opportunity to experience several fascinating stops:

Begin with a brief visit to the impressive Penon, where a knowledgeable English-speaking guide will share insights about this towering cliff and the history of the Taino natives, who were the island's first inhabitants.

Next, you'll make a stop at the enchanting mangroves, where you can witness trees thriving directly in the seawater, creating a unique and picturesque landscape.

Your first destination on Saona Island will be Catuano, a perfect location for snorkeling. Dive into the crystal-clear waters from the boat's piers and explore the vibrant marine life, including tropical fish and coral, in this tropical paradise.

Following your underwater exploration, head to a pristine white sand beach, where you can relax with a refreshing drink, savor a delicious Dominican buffet lunch, and unwind while taking in the breathtaking panoramic views.

To cap off your incredible adventure, you'll visit the famous natural pool, home to large starfish. Here, you can enjoy an aperitif in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, adding a perfect finishing touch to your day.

As your journey comes to an end, you'll return to Bayahibe with cherished memories of this unforgettable excursion.
