From the guide

Your adventure begins early in the morning when the bus picks you up at your hotel and takes you to the meeting point for departure to Saona Island. On the way, there will be a 25-minute stop at a gift shop in Higüey, where you can buy souvenirs or grab something to drink. After that, you’ll continue to Bayahibe, where you’ll board a Motomaran to start your journey.

The first stop is 15 or 20 minutes for snorkeling, followed by a visit to the stunning natural pool, where you’ll have time to cool off, and take beautiful photos.

You will then continue to Saona Island, where you’ll spend around three unforgettable hours. You’ll have plenty of time to enjoy a delicious Dominican buffet lunch, including paella, fish, baked chicken, different types of meats, fresh fruits, and an open bar.

To end the day, you’ll return to Bayahibe on a catamaran filled with music, dancing, and great vibes. Upon arrival, your transportation will be waiting to take you back to your hotel or accommodation.
