Get ready to experience a Dominican Republic, Saona Island small group snorkeling tour!
We will be waiting for you in Bayahibe, the starting point of the excursion, to board our comfortable boat suitable for all family members (pregnant women and babies are welcome).
Let’s go to the Cotubanama National Park! A short break in front of the Penon where our French-speaking guide will provide explanations about this cliff and the Taino natives, the island’s first inhabitants. We will then explore the mangroves, a forest of mangrove trees growing directly in the seawater.
Our first stop is the island of Saona, at Catuano Beach. We will spend 45 minutes at this beautiful snorkeling site. Some can relax on the boat, while others can go snorkeling—it’s your choice.
After these wonderful moments, we’ll board the boat again to reach Dichosa Beach, where a Dominican lunch awaits us. After the meal, grab a hat and sunscreen for a swim in the turquoise waters of Saona Island.
You will have about 3 hours to enjoy the beach, take beautiful pictures, and even take a nap by the water.
To end on a high note, we will visit the famous natural pool where we can see huge starfish (please note that we cannot touch them), have a drink in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, and enjoy a magical and unforgettable moment.
Return to the port of Bayahibe with beautiful memories, where your transportation will be waiting to take you back to your hotel.
