Relax on a 75-foot catamaran from Bayahibe to Saona Island, Catuano reef, and Palmilla’s starfish pool with lunch and drinks included.

“This excursion was well worth every penny. You may notice that it is more expensive than others, but I promise that you will not be disappointed. The tour is capped at ~30 people while others pack you in like sardines. We had a beautiful boat and an excellent crew, all while having so much room to spread out on the boat. Our pickup was on time and we were briefed before getting on the boat. Lola was our guide for the day and she was EXCELLENT! We couldn't ask for a better guide. She was so personable and friendly, and made sure that everyone was well taken care of. Enrique…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 74 reviews · 570 minutes - 10 hours · from $59

Review this Saona Island day trip from Punta Cana, with a natural pool swim, beach lunch, catamaran party, transport notes, and honest value advice.

“Très bonne ambiance. Et avec la guide Mama Diari qui était top ! Elle fait même l’effort de traduire en français pour ceux le moins a l’aise avec l’espagnol ou l’anglais. Petit bémol pour l’arrivée tardive sur l’île, en toute fin de service pour le déjeuner. Résultat : presque plus rien à manger (plus de viande du tout) alors que la prestation est incluse. D’où le 4 (au lieu d’un 5/5)”
