Full description

We start off at 9 AM from the public beach of Dominicus Americanus via a speedboat or a motomaran and head in the direction of the famous Saona island.

Accompanied by the charming Caribbean rhythms we will have our first stop in the Natural Pools, a huge area of crystal clear shallow waters, home to the Caribbean starfish. Music, various drinks ant rum will add to the fun and pleasure as we spend around 40 min bathing in this small paradise.

Afterwards, on our way out of the Natural Pools we pass by the mangroves’ area as well as the Catuano channel, the division between the main Dominican island and Saona, and head to one of the most gorgeous beaches called Saona Paradise arriving at around 11AM. The beach is very spacious and clean, provides sunbeds (free of charge), bathrooms (male and female), showers, open bar (Coca Cola, Sprite, water, orange juice, coffee, rum, beer). Our charming photographer Cuchi Cuchi will be at your disposal in case you want a professional photoshoot on the island (paid for at the end of the excursion). At noon we invite our guests to enjoy a rich private buffet: barbecue (grilled chicken and pork), fish, beef meatballs, rice, bean sauce, boiled potatoes, seafood paella, both hot and cold pasta, fresh vegetables and fruits, bread. After lunch you will be able to enjoy the sun and the sea until 1:30PM.

Once the beach is full we will leave for our next destination – the only inhabited place on Saona island, a small fishermen’s village called Mano Juan. We will take a short tour around the village and learn about the life of its inhabitants, giving you a taste of the local culture.

Afterwards, we will leave for the most remote beach of Saona, the mesmerizing Canto de la Playa with its white sands and crystal clear waters, considered to be one of the most beautiful natulal beaches in the whole world. We will drop anchor here when the majority of the companies have already left which will give our clients the opportunity to enjoy this paradise without the mass tourism which occupies this area in the morning.
