Discover the ultimate Caribbean escape with our
Isla Saona Full-Day Tour from Santo Domingo, the most famous and beloved island adventure in the Dominican Republic.
Your journey begins early in the morning with
small-group transport from Santo Domingo, ensuring a comfortable ride with fewer stops and a more personalized experience. After arriving in Bayahibe, you’ll board a
catamaran or speedboat for an exhilarating ride across turquoise waters.
(Note: as with all Saona tours, boats are shared between providers — 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 sea where starfish rest peacefully. It’s a dream spot for photos and a highlight for families and couples alike.
Once on
Isla Saona, paradise awaits: white-sand beaches lined with swaying palm trees, crystal-clear waters, and the true Caribbean vibe. Spend your time relaxing on hammocks, swimming, sunbathing, or joining in beach games. A
Dominican buffet lunch and
national open bar are included to keep you refreshed throughout the day.
For those who prefer an upgraded experience, VIP and private options are available — including priority seating, more space, and flexible return times.
As the day winds down, your return journey may include music and entertainment on a catamaran, the perfect end to a day in paradise. By sunset, you’ll be back in Santo Domingo, carrying memories of one of the most iconic tours in the Caribbean.
