11 tours · €71–€150 per person · ★ 4.8
A Saona Island tour from Punta Cana is a full day, and the 11 here were picked by hand from every listing rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €71 per person for a shared day with a buffet lunch and local drinks to €150 for a private charter, priced per group. The usual Saona Island excursion: an early pickup, a drive to the Bayahíbe coast, a catamaran or speedboat out, a few hours on the beach with a Dominican buffet, then the speedboat back via the natural pool, a waist-deep sandbar with starfish.
A quick way to choose: check which boat goes which way, since some sail out and speed back while others use the speedboat both ways; read the drinks line, because local rum and beer are in and lobster or photos are not; and note the pickup surcharge, as hotels in Cap Cana, Uvero Alto and Verón pay extra in cash on the day. It is a long day with two hours of road; the starfish stay in the water. The best reviewed Saona Island tours come first below.
