Itinerary
Escape to Saona Island, one of the Dominican Republic’s most stunning natural wonders. Your journey begins with a speedboat ride across the turquoise Caribbean waters, stopping at the famous Natural Pool, where you can wade in waist-deep crystal-clear water and spot giant starfish. Upon arrival at Saona, relax on pristine white sandy beaches, swim in the warm ocean, or soak up the sun with a cocktail in hand. A delicious Dominican buffet lunch awaits, featuring fresh seafood, grilled meats, rice, and tropical fruits. Enjoy an open bar with local rum and refreshing beverages while embracing the island’s laid-back atmosphere. Take a stroll along the coastline, capture breathtaking photos, or simply let the beauty of Saona Island mesmerize you before heading back on a catamaran cruise filled with music, dancing, and pure Caribbean vibes.

Gear up for an adrenaline-pumping buggy ride through the rugged countryside of Macao Beach, an unspoiled stretch of golden sand and crashing waves. Feel the thrill as you drive through muddy trails, sugarcane fields, and small Dominican villages, getting a glimpse of rural life. Along the way, stop at a hidden cenote, a natural freshwater sinkhole surrounded by lush greenery, where you can take a refreshing swim in its cool, crystal-clear waters. The adventure continues with a visit to a local coffee and cacao plantation, where you’ll learn how traditional Dominican coffee and chocolate are made. Enjoy tastings of freshly brewed coffee and organic cacao while expert guides share insights about their cultivation and significance in Dominican culture. Finish the day with more buggy action before heading back, covered in mud and filled with unforgettable memories!

Your guide will bring history to life with fascinating stories of Spanish conquests and indigenous Taino culture.
