Saona Island: The Dominican Republic’s Caribbean Paradise
Step aboard our spacious catamaran and set sail across the turquoise waters of Punta Cana on an unforgettable journey to Isla Saona, one of the Dominican Republic’s most iconic treasures. White-sand beaches, swaying palm trees, and the rhythm of Caribbean music welcome you to a place where time slows down and nature takes center stage.
On the way, you’ll stop at the famous Natural Pool of Palmilla, a shallow lagoon of crystal-clear water in the middle of the Caribbean Sea perfect for swimming, relaxing, insta-worthy photos, and maybe even watching some starfish. .
Your day continues on Saona Island where a traditional Dominican buffet lunch awaits by the beach. Savor authentic flavors while surrounded by breathtaking views, and enjoy plenty of free time to swim, sunbathe, or simply let the island’s beauty recharge your spirit.
This is a Caribbean postcard come to life. Live the Saona dream today!

It turned out to be the most amazing trip we've ever done, and the island did not disappoint! The clear water and sandy white beaches were breathtaking, and the open bar along with the delicious hot food selection included in the price was fantastic.

Great customer orientation, everything was clearly presented and explained. Even followed up with us the next day about our experience. They are recommended by the hotel. Francisco, the guide, was excellent. Experienced and empathetic. It’s exactly the trip we booked, Rating: 10.
