The most famous day trip in the Dominican Republic
Saona Island sits inside Cotubanamá National Park and is one of the most photographed beaches in the Caribbean: white sand, leaning palm trees, transparent water. The classic full-day tour from Punta Cana combines catamaran, speedboat, natural pool and a Dominican buffet lunch.
You'll spend roughly 1h on the catamaran with open bar and music, 45 minutes swimming in the natural pool (a sandbank in the middle of the sea where starfish live), and 3-4 hours on Saona Island itself with lunch and free time.
