Eddie – United States

Up front have to say you will spend most of the time traveling. That said, if you’re ok with that, this is a wonderful experience and Saona is paradise. The team was fun and took care of everything. The lunch on the beach was delicious with Dominican specialties like stewed chicken, grilled fish, rice, some great beans, potatoes and salad. They will pour you all the rum drinks you want. The beach and natural pool were beautiful. The turtle stop to see three tiny turtles I could have skipped for more beach time. A brief sandbar stop was nice and we found a few giant star fish. The boat was comfortable and we felt safe. This however is NOT REALY a small group tour. We were combined with a different tour the company ran. It was presented as an upgrade but they were really just putting groups together to make more money. This happened a day before and given the last minute nature we agreed to the switch. We still liked the tour very much but don’t consider 27 people a small group.

This was an amazing trip. We absolutely loved it. Would highly recommend, it was the best day of our holiday. We saw turtles, giant starfish, the most beautiful beach we’ve ever seen and the best fresh Pina colada. The staff were great, they made it such a fun enjoyable experience.

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.
