From the guide

This tour will take you to some of the most breathtaking places on Saona Island. You can also book our shared tour to save money. Your journey will begin with a speed boat ride on the renowned Chavón River, which has been featured in movies like Apocalypse Now, Rambo 2, and Torrente 5. The river flows into the Caribbean Sea and is famous for its rich tropical vegetation, which pirates once used to hide their treasures. Following the boat ride, you will have the opportunity to visit Marina Casa de Campo, one of the most exclusive complexes in the Caribbean, where famous celebrities like Shakira and Julio Iglesias have their villas. From there, you'll be taken to the Eastern National Park where you'll witness the spectacular natural pools. These are the world's largest pools with crystal-clear turquoise waters that create a paradise-like atmosphere. While at the natural pools, you'll have access to an open bar with Brugal and soft drinks, and our team will provide entertainment.
