What you'll do:

Spend a full day on Saona Island, one of the most photographed stretches of coastline in the Dominican Republic, with a scenic drive, speedboat ride, natural pool stop, and catamaran cruise built into one seamless trip.

• Hotel Pickup - An air-conditioned vehicle picks you up from your hotel lobby or a nearby meeting point and drives you from Punta Cana to Bayahibe.

• Speedboat to the Natural Pool - You cruise over shallow, crystal-clear water to a natural pool in the middle of the sea.

• Natural Pool Swim - You wade in waist-deep water, take photos with starfish, and sip a drink before continuing to the island.

• Saona Island Beach Time - You relax on white sand, swim, play volleyball, or explore the beach at your own pace.

• Dominican Buffet & Open Bar - You eat a beachside lunch of local dishes and drink from an open bar included in your ticket.

You spend the day moving between open water, a natural pool, and a white sand beach, then cruise back on a catamaran with music playing and the day winding down around you.

Why we love it for your group:

• Speedboat Ride - You get an adrenaline boost early in the day before the pace slows down on the island.

• Natural Pool Stop - Standing in open water with starfish nearby is one of the most photographed moments on the trip.

• All-Inclusive Lunch - A Dominican buffet with unlimited drinks means no one is budgeting or splitting a bill mid-excursion.

• Catamaran Return - Music and dancing on the way back keep the group's energy up for the last leg of the day.

• Full Day Structure - Pickup to drop-off is handled for you, so your group doesn't have to plan logistics.
