Full Description
We board the boat in the morning (around 9 AM) and sail approximately 1 h 20 min toward Saona and the broken pier of Catuano, where snorkelers get about 45 minutes among tropical fish. Then we sail 10 minutes to a secluded beach corner of Saona Island chosen for its tranquillity and beauty. Thanks to the early arrival, you often reach this spot before the crowds and enjoy about 1 h 30 minutes of peaceful beach time under coconut palms, swimming in crystal-clear water or simply unwinding. After that we sail to the natural swimming pool of Las Palmillas—situated in shallow turquoise waters—where you’ll have 45 to 60 minutes to swim, float, snorkel or enjoy a drink surrounded by starfish on a white sandy seabed. During this leg the crew serves a freshly prepared lunch onboard made with local ingredients (lobster available as an upgrade outside breeding season). The return leg sails along the coastline and you arrive back around 5:00 PM, recharged and connected with the sea.
