Overview

Imagine spending a day in a paradise of crystal-clear waters and white-sand beaches , whose beauty is so overwhelming it's hard to believe it's not a fantasy. This is the best way to describe Saona Island, a jewel in the Dominican Republic.

The full-day excursion to Saona Island is a private tour where you can enjoy starfish and pristine beaches . An adventure to discover the flora and fauna of Cotubanama National Park and enjoy the comforts of our yacht.

Why book a private yacht tour to Saona?

All customers who have spent a day on Saona Island by yacht from Punta Cana have returned very happy, highlighting both the beauty of the island and the onboard experience .

And it’s no wonder, since we’re talking about a nature reserve where flora and fauna are on full display. Not to mention the pleasant journey, feeling the Caribbean breeze on the way to the island and on the return trip.

Marine wonders just a stone's throw from the jungle

Saona Island is home to a wide variety of species , some of which can only be found in the Dominican Republic. Furthermore, the entire island is teeming with starfish, which you can observe up close, both because of their abundance and because of the sensation of walking in a natural pool, where the water only reaches your knees and there are no waves.

Another of the great attractions of this place is the proximity of the beach to the diverse ecosystems that make up the Cotubanama National Park, which make a full-day excursion to Saona Island a truly unique experience.
