Private Saona Tour
Loading available options...
Overview
On the southeast coast of the Dominican Republic lies one of the country's most magical spots. And what better way to experience it than privately from Punta Cana?
In addition to our classic Saona Island and Saona Island with Mano Juan experiences, we have added this private excursion , a tour in which you will be in charge of the time and the places you want to visit.
You'll visit dreamlike places like the Natural Pool , where you can admire the beautiful starfish. They are the main inhabitants of this area of the Caribbean, and you'll enjoy them in water that only reaches your waist.
Or visit Palmilla Beach , where the sea merges with the fine white sand and the Dominican flora and fauna. Because in Saona, there are still unspoiled paradises waiting to be discovered.
Venturing into the lush vegetation, dominated by a humid tropical forest , is another way to make the most of your time. The tall coconut palms form a canopy of greenery that will make you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere.
Back on the mainland, you can also visit the village of Mano Juan to learn about the island's way of life. And no, they're not there as a tourist attraction; they've been living in the wooden huts since 1944.
In this small fishing village you will also visit the Sea Turtle Sanctuary , which has been dedicated to the conservation of these animals in the waters of the Caribbean for many years.
