Isla Saona
120 min
Isla Saona is surrounded by beautiful beaches and history, and is one of the most sought after places in the southeast of the Dominican Republic.
60 min
a stop is made at the natural swimming pool at Playa Palmilla, about 200 or 300 meters from the beach line, with the water at the knees or at the waist, to enjoy the perfect scenery and climate. Bathers have to enjoy around 800 meters parallel to the beach, between the white sand and the huge coral terrace that separates the natural pool from the open sea and that makes this geological wonder possible.

Family walk
Since we went out, the fun started. Music, drinks and a very lively atmosphere in the catamaran. The natural pool was one of the most special moments of the day, the water is shallow and perfect to enjoy. The island is simply beautiful, with amazing scenery. I highly recommend it.

A paradise you have to know
It was an amazing experience from the start to the end. The tour was very well organized and the trip by boat and catamaran was super fun. The stop at the natural pool was spectacular, the water crystal clear and full of starfish.As we arrived on the island everything looked like postcard, white sand and turquoise sea. Definitely one of the best tours you can do in Punta Cana.

Best of my trip to Dominican Republic.
Of all the excursions I did, this was my favorite. It's a long tour but it's worth every minute. The combination of adventure, relaxation and natural landscapes is perfect. The team always attentive and with very good energy. I would certainly repeat this experience.

It is a must-see activity if you visit Punta Cana. Everything is very well organized and the staff makes the experience even better. The beaches of Saône Island are spectacular and the atmosphere throughout the tour is amazing. I'm taking unforgettable memories.
