? Full Description

Start early with hotel pickup in Punta Cana and transfer by air-conditioned bus to the coastal departure point near Bayahibe. Board a boat (catamaran or speedboat) that takes you through turquoise waters towards Saona Island. Mid-way, pause at a natural sand-bar “pool” where you’ll swim in shallow clear water, view star-fish and soak up the sun. Then arrive at Saona Island where you’ll have free time to walk the palm-fringed beach, swim in the Caribbean Sea and relax in an idyllic setting. A buffet lunch featuring Dominican fare (barbecue, salads, local dishes) is served on the beach and an open bar keeps the drinks flowing while you unwind. In the afternoon you return by catamaran or boat, with music, open-bar cocktails and views of the coast. Finally you’re transferred back to your hotel in Punta Cana, arriving in the early evening.
