Top Deals on Saona and Catalina Island Excursions
Budget-Friendly Package from Bayahibe, Punta Cana & La Romana
Want to spend a full day at sea, discover the most beautiful beaches of the Dominican Republic, explore exceptional marine life, and experience a true tropical escape?
This budget-friendly package allows you to enjoy two distinct boat excursions at a reduced price, aboard a spacious catamaran, away from the crowds, with an English-speaking skipper, an attentive crew, meals served on board, and small group settings.
You will discover two must-see destinations on the southern coast: Saona Island and Catalina Island, jewels of the Parque Nacional del Este and the La Romana region.
Each day includes sailing, water activities like snorkeling, free time, white sand beaches, a barbecue on board, and unforgettable moments surrounded by nature.
🌴 Getaway to Saona: Snorkeling, Private Beach, and Tropical Relaxation
Your catamaran tour begins at the Bayahibe port, a small typical village lined with palm trees. After boarding, you’ll take your place on a spacious and comfortable catamaran, equipped with a front trampoline, a shaded cockpit, and a English-speaking crew.
The sea crossing takes you sailing along the coast of the national park to the shores of Saona Island, known for its paradisiacal beaches, turquoise lagoon, and hidden coves.
Your day on Saona begins with a crossing to Catuano, one of the best snorkeling spots, located in the heart of the Eastern National Park. With provided masks and snorkels, you’ll discover coral reefs teeming with tropical fish and living coral in crystalline turquoise waters.
After this underwater experience, head toward a secluded beach, far from the usual tourist areas, exclusively reserved for your small group. Here, enjoy a moment of privileged escape, in the shade of palm trees and feet in the white sand. A hot lunch prepared on board will be served, in a friendly atmosphere.
Your afternoon continues at the famous natural pool, a shallow area in turquoise waters dotted with starfish, perfect for swimming and dreamy photo ops.
Return to the port at the end of the day, with unforgettable memories in your mind.
🐠 Excursion to Catalina Island: Snorkeling, Crystal Lagoon & Wild River
Second day of your combo: Catalina Island, an ideal destination for lovers of coral reefs and marine life. The cruise also departs from Bayahibe, with a navigation route leading to the famous snorkeling spot “The Wall”, an underwater cliff that plunges over 100 meters deep. The site teems with tropical marine life, butterflyfish, rays, corals, and sometimes sea turtles. The crew will accompany you for a guided and safe session.
After this first immersion, the catamaran heads to another magical snorkeling spot: “The Aquarium”. This crystal-clear lagoon is perfect for a peaceful second session. After lunch on board, participants enjoy free time: sunbathing on the catamaran’s trampoline, swimming, or strolling to the beach.
In the afternoon, the excursion continues along the coast of La Romana. The guide comments on the passage by Casa de Campo, a luxurious seaside resort, before entering the mouth of the Chavón River, for a calm ride on its still waters framed by tropical jungle. This final stop, often overlooked, offers a moment of pure contemplation before the return to the port.
