Total relaxation awaits on this full day cruise to Saona Island's dazzling shores. You'll explore this tropical daydream Caribbean Isle, soaking up the sun and the vibrant colours while you stroll along palm-shaded beaches. First up is a coastal tour of Cotubanama National Park, then you'll stop at a natural pool for a dip before heading to the beach for lunch and free time. Ramon, one of our expert guides, says, ‘Our priority is to protect our pristine environment and all the species that make Saona so special. We were the first country to protect manatees by law, and we have a turtle conservation programme here on the island, too.'

After a relaxing cruise over to Saona, the sightseeing can begin in earnest. You'll cruise the shoreline of the Cotubanama National Park while your local guide points out the island wildlife. See the rocks of El Peñón, and then glide through the Catuano channel. Next, it's time to cool off in the azure water of the natural pools, formed by sandbanks in the open sea. The water is such a tempting shade of blue you won't be able to resist.

Docking at one of Saona Island's fabulous beaches, you'll step off the boat for some beach time. There's the Caribbean for paddling, soft white sand to dip your toes in, and a volleyball pitch to play on. Or you could take the simplest option and just stretch out in the sun. After your tasty buffet lunch is served, there's more free time to enjoy the magical setting.

Oppaamme (Obama) oli aivan loistava ja muukin henkilöstä todella hyvä. Erittäin kaunis paikka -- loistava kokemus. Ainoa ehkä pieni miinus, päivä oli todella pitkä ja ihmisiä haettiin monesta erinpaikkaa kyytiin, joka vaikutti aikatauluun.

Experience when we got there was great. Guide spoke almost no English so instructions very difficult to understand. Additionally driver spoke no English so when we got to car park we didn’t know where to go

The intention is good but it is not realistic to visit a faraway island in one day to go there and back, we spent most of the time in transit and the actual visit to the island is some random beach with very mediocre food. The best part was the speedboat and the natural pool. The catamaran return was uncomfortable, everyone was exhausted and wanted a comfortable relaxing ride but instead we got a party boat with hardly anywhere to seat, and were forced to dance when we were exhausted

We were picked up at 7.40 to return back to the same hotel at 8 for other guests - was told 1hr 20 for travel time - was 2 hours - waited for a boat to collect us not until 11.30 until we set off which had to be a second boat as not enough room for us on it. Once on the boat we had to sit on the floor as was no room for us on a seat. Badly organised with ridiculous travel and waiting time - didn’t return back to hotel until 8.20pm Badly organised day with so much hanging around

We left hotel at 7.45am and got back at 7pm but got less then 3hrs on the island, nearly 10 hrs travelling. This should of been made clearer at the time of booking.
