About this tour Unique

Discover the ultimate Caribbean escape with our Isla Saona 4 Beaches Tour from Punta Cana, a more exclusive and immersive island experience that lets you explore multiple pristine beaches and enjoy extended time on the island.

Your journey begins early in the morning with hotel pickup from Punta Cana, Bávaro, Cap Cana, or Uvero Alto, followed by comfortable ground transportation to the port of Bayahibe. This ensures a smooth start to your day and eliminates the hassle of arranging transportation on your own. After arriving at the marina, you’ll board a boat for a scenic ride across crystal-clear turquoise waters. (As with all Isla Saona tours, boats departing from Bayahibe are shared between operators as industry standard, and we’re fully transparent so you know what to expect.)

On the way, we stop at the famous natural swimming pool of Palmilla, a shallow sandbar in the middle of the Caribbean Sea where starfish rest peacefully. This iconic stop is perfect for photos, relaxing in waist-deep water, and enjoying a refreshing drink surrounded by paradise.

Once on Isla Saona, you’ll visit Playa El Canto, Mano Juan with its turtle sanctuary, and Playa El Toro, along with the classic white-sand beaches lined with palm trees and turquoise waters the island is known for. You’ll enjoy more than six hours of free time to relax, swim, sunbathe, enjoy hammocks, or explore at your own pace. A traditional Dominican buffet lunch and national open bar are included to keep you refreshed throughout the day.

As the day comes to an end, you’ll depart Isla Saona around 5:00 PM with music and entertainment aboard the boat, providing a lively and memorable conclusion to your island adventure. By early evening, you’ll be back at your hotel in Punta Cana with unforgettable memories of one of the Caribbean’s most iconic tours.
