Saona Island Day Trip
Beskrivning
Saona ö Saona Island är den mest populära utflykten som erbjuds i Dominikanska republiken. Ön är en naturpark (skyddad som ett naturreservat), det är en jungfruö med vackra stränder och mållösa kustlinjer fulla av palmer. När du är på ön kan du koppla av i en stolsalong, umgås i vår all inclusive strandbar, spela beachvolleyboll. Runt mitten av dagen öppnar vi vår strandbuffé för en typisk Dominikansk lunch som inkluderar: kyckling, fläsk, ris, grönsaker, bönor, sallad och frukt, eller vandra längs kusten.
Turalternativ
Resplan
ett stopp görs vid den naturliga poolen vid Playa Palmilla, cirka 200 eller 300 meter från strandlinjen, med vattnet vid knäna eller vid midjan, för att njuta av det perfekta landskapet och klimatet. Badgäster måste njuta cirka 800 meter parallellt med stranden, mellan den vita sanden och den enorma korallterrassen som skiljer den naturliga poolen från det öppna havet och som gör detta geologiska under möjligt.
Isla Saona är omgiven av vackra stränder och historia, och är en av de mest eftertraktade platserna i sydöstra Dominikanska republiken.

Saône is a perfect destination to relax and enjoy the tranquility of the sea. On its coastline, you can find fascinating sandbanks, such as the famous "Cave of the Beach", which, when the tide drops, exposes a small isolated paradise. It is also home to diverse marine ecosystems, making snorkeling one of the most popular activities, as its coral reefs are home to vibrantly colored fish and other marine species.
I enjoyed the excursion with my my family. We enjoyed the natural swimming pool the most because of the facility it is to swim in the water in that area. The natural swimming pool was an amazing experience. The only downside was that the tour operator told us that they would pick us up from the resort lobby at 7:30am and they showed up at 8:30am outside. The communication was a bit off at the beginning and the driver was late. Also, as the climate crisis is a reality in which we currently live in, I did not appreciate that they used tons of plastic to feed us and for the unlimited drinks on the boats. As the day ended, while walking back to the boat, you can see all the plastic cups, plates, straws, and plastic forks washing up on the shore. As we arrived back on the Bayahibe puerto, I saw countless plastic cups rolling around the Catamaran. All of these plastics end up in the ocean; which made my family and I very sad. We would love to see tour agencies implement the use of compostable or re-usable cups, plates and forks (as seen in other countries such as Mexico). I cleaned up some of the plastics left behind on the Saona shore, but we did not have enough time. I hope that this review makes companies who make a living out of the ocean, become aware of the damage that they can cause to the ocean and animals living in these places by leaving behind tons of plastic on shore and in ocean waters.
Good afternoon we understand and we are sorry about the pick-up time, our driver had a slight delay that day and even so he was sanctioned and we took measures. Even so, we are sorry and regarding the plastic, we understand it, but there are several factors that the environment has taken into the card , such as reusable dishes or ways of not damaging directly the environment are being taken but unfortunately to make changes like this there’s gotta be an invest and not all of us have the power to do that even so we appreciate that point of view we always try to keep our beaches clean but sometimes we cannot avoid some things we are sorry but we are seeing what actions to implement thanks to your comment!
Great excursion and the staff who accompanied us was great! Go with your eyes closed, I highly recommend!
Excellent is one. Unforgettable experience the beaches waoo the waves the food is something I would like to repeat again
I really liked the excursion the trip with the guide everything very explained very friendly the exquisite food the friends shared a lot. All very nice
The part that I liked the most uff the course of the trip people treated the care that joy good attentions the truth that I would return to my whole family
Overall this was a decent tour but there are a few things that would have made it better. Such as more clarity on what's going on. To start, I will say, please ignore the provided description and inclusions when booking. If you book please follow up on your pick-up time, we had to inquire about when we would be picked up the day of the trip because no information/reminder was sent at confirmation or 24hrs prior. Things to know that aren’t listed: - After being picked up from our resort there is a 90+min drive to Bayahibe Beach. - While waiting on the beach to enter the speedboat, we were told that everyone who takes a picture gets it as a free welcome photo printed at the end…this is not true. The photo is printed and pasted on a bottle which you have the option to purchase. - After the waiting time, we entered the speedboat which took us to Playa Palmilla…we stayed here for 30mins, not 2hrs. No drinks were offered until Playa Palmilla. - After we re-enter the speedboat to get to Saona Island which was gorgeous! This is where you can relax, get in the water, have the buffet lunch and unlimited drinks…we stayed here for maybe 2-3hrs - We re-enter the speedboat and somewhere along our ride, we’re literally told we are hopping from the speedboat to the catamaran to join another group. This part wasn’t my favourite part because of the jumping from one boat to another in the middle of the ocean but also because we were joining another group who clearly had been on the boat for hours already, drinking already, situated, etc. 95% of my tour group seemed to just find some room on the boat to sit & drink quietly. Seemed like we were imposing on someone else’s birthday party and we weren’t invited. Lol Also, there was no variety of music. This also seemed like the longest part of the day. - We did not take the catamaran back to shore, we again jumped from the catamaran back to the speedboat to finally head back to shore. - Finally, the 90min drive back to the resorts. Some tips: We spent a great deal of time just waiting around & driving. So get comfortable. Get ready to jump from the speedboat to the catamaran and back. On the drive to Bayahibe the guide does a little informational, bring your translator, it helped me follow along. Grab bug spray for your body. Take lots of photos because everything is beautiful.
It was a very fun excursion and we really liked it and I hope you enjoy them too. It is a very good experience and gives a good Service
The tour guy was amazing as well as all the others that I had the pleasure to interact with. Being an old lady myself they were helping me at all times. As always VIATOR only employs the best!
My experience was that I liked it when we were on the boat and many more things and I recommend that you come live that adventure
