Your Saona Island adventure begins with a scenic speedboat ride along the stunning coast, where you’ll pass the history-rich rocks of El Peñon while your guide shares captivating stories about the area’s heritage and natural beauty. The first stop is Mano Juan, the island’s only village, where you can stroll through colorful streets, experience the local culture, and visit the sea turtle sanctuary. After exploring the village, a freshly prepared beachfront lunch awaits, featuring a delicious spread of local flavors including grilled pork, fried chicken, fish, rice and potato dishes, fresh vegetables, tropical fruits, and salads. Following lunch, you will head to Canto de la Playa, one of the most beautiful and remote beaches on the island, where you can relax, swim in crystal-clear waters, and immerse yourself in the pristine natural surroundings.
On the return journey, the tour cruises through the mangroves, providing an opportunity to learn about their vital role in the ecosystem while keeping an eye out for sea turtles and other wildlife in their natural habitat. The final highlight of the day is a visit to the Piscina Natural, a shallow sandbank with turquoise waters, where you can enjoy a refreshing swim alongside the striking red cushion starfish. Designed with flexibility in mind, the tour typically departs at 9 a.m. and returns around 5 p.m., but timing and stops can be tailored to your preferences. Starting early is recommended to experience each stop at its quietest and most peaceful, making your Saona Island journey truly unforgettable.
