Saona Island Catamaran Cruise
Description
Experience a blissful day at Saona Island with this catamaran journey departing from Juan Dolio. Revel in the beauty of its pristine sandy shores and the inviting Caribbean waters.
Catamaran Cruise to Saona Island
Our adventure begins with your hotel pickup in Juan Dolio, after which we will proceed to the port of Bayahibe. By 9:30 am, we will board the catamaran and set sail across the sparkling Caribbean seas towards Saona Island. Notably, this picturesque spot served as a filming location for select scenes from the Pirates of the Caribbean series.
As we embark on a delightful catamaran cruise lasting an hour and a half, you will be treated to breathtaking ocean vistas, and you can soak up the sun on the deck while enjoying lively Dominican tunes. A stop at the Blue Lagoon awaits us, where you'll encounter a natural pool rich with numerous starfish, offering a unique opportunity to swim alongside them!
Upon our arrival at Saona Island, the enchanting sight of palm-fringed beaches will captivate you. Following a refreshing swim, we will indulge in a traditional Dominican lunch, featuring rice, meat, fresh fish, salad, and tropical fruits—a true culinary delight!
The afternoon brings you three hours of leisure to explore Las Palmillas beach, swim in the refreshing sea, or simply relax on the soft sands—it's all your choice!
At 2:30 pm, we will regroup on the catamaran to head back to Bayahibe. Throughout the return journey, you will have the chance to dance to bachata, merengue, and an array of vibrant Caribbean rhythms, marking a perfect conclusion to a memorable day!
Upon reaching the pier, we will ensure your return to the hotels in Juan Dolio, concluding our experience approximately eight hours after we first set out.

The ride depends on the tides and, as it is a motorboat, the trip may be a bit rough. For this reason, the activity is not recommended for people with back or neck problems. In any case, all seats have backrests and, from the back of the boat, you will feel less movement.
