Saona Attitude

Program/From Bayahibe - Dominicus

EXCURSION TO SAONA ISLAND IN SMALL GROUP:

Want to discover the southern part of Saona Island? Come with us and get away from the crowds to explore the typical fishing village of Mano Juan and the paradisiacal beach of Canto de la playa. This excursion is done aboard our boat adapted for families. Of course, we won't miss out on visiting the famous Natural Pool.

THE ITINERARY:

We will be waiting for you at Bayahibe, the starting point of the excursion, to board our boat that is suitable for all family members.

Get ready for a small group excursion to Saona Island! First, we'll pass by Penon where our English-speaking guide will provide some information about the history of this cliff and the famous Taino indigenous people who were its first inhabitants. Then, we'll venture into mangroves - Palétuvier trees growing directly in seawater.

Finally, we arrive at our first stop on Saona Island: Mano Juan village. We'll take a walk through it and get an insight into local life on this paradise island - their colorful houses, typical small shops and friendly residents. Of course, we won't miss out on visiting a turtle nursery run by a local family. They use whatever means they have available to incubate eggs laid during nesting season and release baby turtles back into the sea after hatching. Please note that seeing newborns is not 100% guaranteed as it depends on seasons and hatching cycles.

It's time for lunch! We'll enjoy delicious Dominican food with breathtaking views of Saona Beach from a restaurant nearby. Lobster is available during season (July 1st - February 29th) at $25 per person. After lunch, we're off to one of the most beautiful beaches on the island - Canto de la Playa where you can relax or go snorkeling.

Our last stop is at a natural pool where guests can admire giant starfish (please do not touch them). You can also swim in shallow water while sipping drinks like true Dominicans before returning via Bayahibe port with unforgettable memories.

FAQ:

Maximum number of people on board?

The excursions organized by Dominican Attitude are always in small groups. For Saona Attitude, the maximum is 34 people.

Is the snorkeling gear included?

Yes, fins, masks and snorkels are included for this excursion.

What is the difference with Saona Hola?

The Saona Attitude is organized on a very comfortable 3-hull boat, while the Saona Hola is organized on a speedboat (not suitable for pregnant women or people with back problems).

The Saona Attitude goes to the extreme south of Saona Island to visit wild beaches, while the Saona visits a well-equipped beach. The Saona Hola does not visit the fishing village of Mano Juan, but makes a snorkeling stop at the Catuano pier.

On the comfortable boat (Saona Attitude), you don't have to wear life jackets and you can move around. There's a large canopy to protect you from the sun, a sunbathing deck at the bow and toilet facilities. It takes a little longer to get to the island, but the tour also lasts longer, so you won't miss anything.

Does the guide speak English?

Yes, the guides from Dominican Attitude speak fluently French, Spanish and English.

Should the lobster be reserved in advance?

Yes, the lobster needs to be reserved in advance as they will be caught in the morning (lobster not available from March 1st to June 31st due to breeding season).

Is there a photographer during the excursion?

Yes, there is a photographer to capture your wonderful moments. The price will depend on the number of people, but expect to pay around $40 for a couple.
