Isla Saona Excursion: The Must-Do Excursion in Punta Cana
The Most Iconic Excursion in Punta Cana
Looking for a must-do adventure in the Dominican Republic?
Welcome to Saona Island, a dream destination with white-sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, swaying palm trees, and unforgettable Caribbean energy.
Whether you’re celebrating, relaxing, or just want to experience the best the island has to offer, this full-day Isla Saona Excursion is your ultimate escape. Cruise across the sea, sip tropical cocktails, dance to island rhythms, and feast on a Dominican buffet, all with the ocean at your feet.
What to Expect
Start your morning with a smooth pickup from your hotel, followed by a scenic ride to Bayahibe, the coastal village where your adventure begins.
Board a catamaran with music, dancing, and drinks, then sail through crystal-clear waters toward Saona Island.
Midway, stop at the iconic Natural Swimming Pool — a shallow sandbar in the middle of the sea — to float, swim, and take unforgettable photos.
Once you arrive at Saona, you’ll have free time to relax, explore, or join a volleyball game before enjoying a beach barbecue lunch.
End the day with a fast, fun speedboat ride back — or a laid-back catamaran cruise with more music and dancing.
