Saona island

Saona Island is part of Cotubanamá National Park, formerly known as the East National Park.

We pick you up around 6.30 am in Bávaro and head to Bayahibe, where we take speedboats  and sail for about 50 minutes to the most remote and beautiful part of the island, Canto de la Playa.

We visit one of the human settlements on the island, Mano Juan village, where if in spawning season, we will also see baby turtles; Canto de la Playa, a wonderful beach, where you can snorkel and walk along the unspoilt beach; the mangroves, home to an important marine life; and the natural pool where we can observe starfish in their natural state, in the sea, 1 meter deep.
