Beautiful Excursion

It's almost necessary to combine the excursion to Saona Island from Punta Cana with the Altos de Chavon. Once at the coast, we boarded a speedboat to take us to see starfish on a shoal and then we got to Isla Saona, a really beautiful place. It's inhabited only by fishermen who offered us a grilled lobster, fish and meat apart from the usual Brugal brand rum. The trip back is made in catamarans, dancing bachata to the rhythm of the sea.

The Poster We All Want to Walk Into

Excellent

Saona Island can be found in the beautiful Caribbean, and it's a part of the Dominican Republic. It's an island state that remains somewhat wild. You can get to it after a walk along the turquoise waters of the Caribbean in catamaran. The palm trees, sand, water and the sun make it a wonderful, paradise-like place. When you're there, we can taste the Caribbean lobster, which while not the Galician, if you leave a great taste in your mouth. The price is about 15 euros per lobster, so it's not to be missed . Anyway, Saona is that corner where we would all have that boss when heat bringing good or that customer impertinent believed entitled to everything ...

Or just when we feel good.

Located in the Caribbean Sea

Excellent

Saona Island is a protected Nature Reserve and one of the most stunning location in the Dominican Republic.

In this excursion, we will set sail to Sanoa Island, guests will have the opportunity of enjoying the breathtaking views of the National Park of the East, where famous movies such as Pirate of the Caribbean have been partially filmed.

L'isola di Saona è raggiungibile con le imbarcazioni dalla vicina località di Bayahibe ed è inserita nel parco naturale dell'Est. Con la sua immagine materializza il sogno caraibico: Spiaggia bianchissima e impalpabile, palme lussureggianti ricurve fino a sfiorare l'acqua, mare incontaminato dal colore turchese. L'isola è lasciata pressoché vergine, non vi si trova alcuna struttura turistica, ma alcune delle sue selvagge spiagge sono state equamente divise tra i tour operator che effettuano l'escursione in questo parco, attrezzandole in parte con alcuni lettini e tavoli da picnic. Dalla spiaggia di Bayahibe occorrono circa 30 minuti di navigazione per arrivare fino a Saona. Durante il tragitto si percorre un tratto vergine in cui vivono numerose mangrovie, si sosta ad una splendida laguna piena di stelle marine giganti e si visita un piccolo villaggio di pescatori. Contrattando direttamente con i barcaioli di Bayahibe, si può avere una barca da 25 posti per 300 dollari (e anche meno) per tutta la giornata. In alternativa è necessario affidarsi alle gite organizzate dei resort.
The Saona Island is accessible by boat from the nearby village of Bayahibe and is included in the Natural Park of the East. With its image materializes the dream Caribbean Beach white and ethereal lush palm trees bent to touch the water, unpolluted sea turquoise color. The island is left almost virgin, there is no tourist facility, but some of its wild beaches have been equally divided between the tour operators who make the trip to this park, attrezzandole in part with a few chairs and picnic tables. From Bayahibe beach takes about 30 minutes by boat to get to Saona. On the way, along a stretch in which they live many virgin mangroves, you will stop at a beautiful lagoon full of giant starfish and visit a small fishing village. Negotiating directly with the boatmen of Bayahibe, you can have a boat for 25 people for $ 300 (and even less) throughout the day. Instead you must rely on organized tours of the resort.

En dehors des sites hoteliers qui ne reflètent pas la réalité, j'ai passé un séjour des plus agréable. J'ai fait des rencontres très interessantes et l'accueil des dominicains a été exceptionnel. La région de las terrenas encore un petit peu sauvage ne tardera pas à être envahie de murs de béton, c'est bien dommage. Les personnes ont le contact facile et porte le bonheur de vivre sur leur visage , y a qu'a regarder!!
Outside of hotel sites that do not reflect reality, I had a pleasant stay. I did some very interesting meetings and hospitality of the Dominican was exceptional. Las Terrenas area still a little wild will not take long to be overrun by concrete walls, which is a shame. People have easy contact with the joy of living on their face, is to look at!

Isla Saona es, sin duda, uno de los lugares más bellos de toda la República Dominicana, así como una de las excursiones más vendidas por los complejos hoteleros. Está situada al sureste de la República Dominicana y es una de sus islas más grandes. Tiene forma alargada y se extiende en 110 kilómetros cuadrados. Se encuentra en la provincia de La Romana y forma parte del Parque Nacional del Este. En esta isla encontraremos kilométricas playas vírgenes de una fina y blanca arena, rodeadas de millares de cocoteros.
Saona Island is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in the Dominican Republic and one of the excursions sold by the resorts. It is located southeast of the Dominican Republic and is one of its largest islands. Is elongated and extends in 110 square kilometers. It is located in the province of La Romana and is part of the National Park of the East. In this island virgins find endless beaches of fine white sand, surrounded by thousands of coconut trees.

Hola! Ya he estado dos veces en punta cana, pero esta vez hice una excursión, le de isla saona. Me aconsejaron hacerla, pero la clásica, sin ir al río chavon o a sus altos. Tiene una playa increíble y de camino a la isla, pasas por unas "piscinas" naturales en el mar Caribe, donde puedes ver y tocar estrellas de mar. El lugar es precioso y muy tranquilo (cuando dejan de intentar darte masajes o venderte cosas jeje, pero son muy amables). Os aconsejo hacerla, pero regatear el precio hasta al touroperador, yo la saque por 150$ y mi hija gratis.
Hello! I've been twice in Punta Cana, but this time I made an excursion, you Isla Saona. They advised me to do it, but the classic, without going to the Chavon River or its high. It has an amazing beach and on the way to the island, you go through a "pool" natural in the Caribbean Sea, where you can see and touch starfish. The place is beautiful and very quiet (when they stop trying to massage it or sell you stuff lol, but very nice). I advise you to do it, but haggle the price up to the tour operator, I pull for $ 150 and free my daughter.

A dream beaches

Unas playas del sueño

Pues como digo la verdad es que ha sido una experiencia única y imborrable. Lo primero es que cuando llegas al aeropuerto es un poco raro, ya que no es lo que ves en las fotos o lo que esperas. Pero cuando llegue al hotel fue otra historia. En le hotel en el que estuvimos fueHotel Barceló Bávaro Beach y la verdad es que fue una gran elección ya que estábamos al lado de la Isla de Saona. Vamos una experiencia única y que habrá que repetir.
Because as I say the truth is that it was a unique and unforgettable experience. The first is that when you get to the airport is a little weird, because it is not what you see in the pictures or what you expect. But on arrival was another story. In her hotel we were fueHotel Barcelo Bavaro Beach and the truth is that it was a great choice as we were next to the island of Saona. Let a unique experience and must be repeated.

Esta foto lo dice todo es una isla virgen en medio de la nada sus aguas cristalinas y la arena muy fina . Una isla en la que te puedes encontrar todo tipo de conchas de mar y de corales si os acercais algún día a la r.Dominicana no dejeis atrás esta isla por que la verdad es espectacular y debajo de esas palmeras puedes saborear un delicioso coco que te ofrecen los nativos de allí
This picture says it all is a pristine island in the middle of nowhere and clear water and fine sand. An island where you can find all kinds of sea shells and coral if you come one day to the DR does not leave behind this island because the truth is spectacular and under these palms can savor a delicious coconut you Natives there offer
