When we think about the Caribbean, the first images that come to mind are white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and a relaxed atmosphere surrounded by nature. In the Dominican Republic, Saona Island brings all of this together and more, making it one of the most visited and admired destinations by travelers from all over the world.
1. A protected natural paradise
Saona Island is part of the Cotubanamá National Park, which means it is a protected area. This status has allowed its beaches, mangroves, and coral reefs to remain almost untouched. When you visit, you’ll feel like you’re stepping into a place where time stopped and nature rules in all its splendor.
2. The most famous natural pool in the Caribbean
One of the most awaited moments of the Saona excursion is the stop at the natural pool. It’s a shallow-water area in the middle of the sea where you can walk, swim, and admire giant starfish in their natural habitat. This is a truly unique experience that combines beauty with the tranquility of the Caribbean Sea.
3. Authentic Dominican culture
Beyond its paradisiacal beaches, Saona also offers a glimpse of local culture. Some tours include a stop at the small village of Mano Juan, where families live from fishing and sustainable tourism. Here you’ll have the chance to learn about traditions, handicrafts, and the warmth of Dominican people.
4. Activities for all types of travelers
- Relaxation: lying in a hammock under the palms.
- Adventure: snorkeling and discovering the marine life.
- Photography: capturing breathtaking landscapes in every corner.
5. An essential excursion
Visiting Punta Cana and not seeing Saona Island is like going to Paris and skipping the Eiffel Tower. That’s why it is considered an essential excursion, whether you are traveling as a couple, with family, or friends.
