Dominican Republic · LA ROMANA TOURS
Bayahibe is the shortest crossing to Saona and Catalina, which is why half the island drives here to get on a boat. These 15 compare the catamarans, the speedboat runs, the diving and the trip up to Altos de Chavón on price and how long you actually spend on the sand.

“The boat is a bit small for the number of people.””
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…”
Spend a full day from Punta Cana visiting Altos de Chavón, sailing to Saona Island, swimming in a natural pool, and enjoying lunch.
“I absolutely loved this activity. We had so much fun, the tour guides were full of energy and had us dancing all the way. Saona Island is a must, the water colors are spectacular. Altos de Chavon is so beautiful, it does transport you to a European city, I only wish they had given us a little bit of time to wonder the place on our own as well. I wish I had gotten to see the museum.”

Review of Bayahibe’s 3-hour ATV adventure with Macau Beach, countryside trails, chocolate tasting, and a freshwater cave swim.
“ATV, horse ride and beach was amazing!! Definitely recommend. One star lost for constantly being asked to purchase something from the shops and payment needed for tourists to swim in the cave. It's extremely annoying to be pestered for money. No should be acceptable without being pressured!!!”

“- notre hôtel n'étant pas dans la zone de prise en charge, nous avons dû nous débrouiller par nous même pour nous rendre dans le lieu. (Limite harceler le responsable pour avoir la zone de rdv!!!!) - Le personnel pensant qu'on ne parler pas créoles (erreur) ce sont permis des commentaires désobligeants - confiner dans 20m de transat pendant 2h - 0 découverte de l'île, rien - un aller retour en bateau pour rester couché sur un transat 2h (pour ceux qui on eu la chance d'en avoir) Inconcevable”
Sail to Saona Island on the Quetzal catamaran for snorkeling, a quiet beach stop, fresh lunch, starfish, and a calmer day at sea.

We were a party of 8 including 4 children and the crew couldn't do enough for everyone on board, they were fantastic! Massive shout out to the captain and to Angel for such a great day! All stops on the trip were well thought out and away from the crowd masses, the private area on Sanoa Island was great and our snorkeling stops were a big hit all round. The catamaran was not over crowded and there…”
