Itinerary

Starting/Pick up location

We will pick you up directly from your hotel in Miches and take you to the meeting point. Once all the customers have been picked up we’ll leave the Miches area and, after a 2 hour drive, we will reach the fishing village of Bayahibe. Here we will get aboard a brand-new speedboat to start our adrenaline ride to Saona. In this special and exclusive tour we will visit 3 different beaches!

Bayahibe

Get ready for a thrilling 45 minutes speedboat ride through the crystalline blue waters of the Caribbean Sea! The first stop will be the stunning Natural Pool of “Palmilla”. Take a refreshing dip in the island's most famous sandbar, famous for being the home of the giant starfish.

Natural Pool

Our second stop will be at “Playa Toro”, an unspoiled and virgin beach where tourists usually don’t stop, considered one of the most beautiful beaches on Saona Island. Here we will have a drink all together while exploring the beach and you can have a bath in the blue waters and let nature embrace your senses.

Saona Island

The next stop is the small village of Mano Juan and its beach, where about 70 local families will show us their customs and culture. Mano Juan is the only inhabited portion of Saona Island. Here you'll find the most picturesque and typical houses. It's also where the main Leatherback or Green Turtle Sanctuary is located, which we will visit. This sanctuary is dedicated to the preservation of this species by collecting and incubating the eggs, and then releasing the hatchlings on the beach. In Mano Juan will also have a tasty lunch, buffet style, in a reserved area. We’ll spend around 2 hours here and you’ll have all the time to enjoy the beach, explore, relax and swim in the blue waters.

In the afternoon, we do our last stop, at Playa Abanico, to relax and sunbathing under the coconut palms and enjoy its crystal-clear waters. This is the beach where most of the tourists visiting Saona go on a tour.

Bayahibe

From here, we move on the speedboat again to make our way back to Bayahibe enjoying the speed and the breeze.

Drop off location

Once our speedboat is back to Bayahibe, we will desembark and move again on the bus to start the return to our hotel in Miches.
