Punta Cana: Catamaran Boat to Saona Island with Buffet Lunch

1.Catamaran Boat to Saona Island with Buffet Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 3,822 reviews · 8 hours · from $82Our pick

This eight-hour Saona Island trip pairs a speedboat ride and a stop at a shallow natural pool with several hours on a palm-fringed beach. Expect hotel pickup, a Dominican buffet, drinks, and a lively catamaran return. Guides such as Alex, Christian, and Eduardo lead groups in English, Spanish, French, or Portuguese.

“A wonderful experience. Our guide Christian was wonderful, it is clear that he has a lot of experience. It really takes a long time to get from the resorts in Punta Cana to Saona Island, but it is worth it. The food on the island is not great, but it is ok. I recommend you bring water and some food/nibbles with you.”
