Treat yourself to total relaxation with this day cruise along the coast of Saona Island. You will discover this magnificent sunny tropical Caribbean island while walking along the palm-shaded beaches. You will start with a coastal ride through Cotubanama National Park, then stop at a natural pool for a swim, before reaching the beach for lunch and free time. Ramon, one of our expert guides, explains: "Our priority is to protect our pristine environment and all the species that make Saona so special. We were the first country to protect manatees by law and we also have a turtle conservation program on the island." After a relaxing cruise to Saona, the visits can begin. You will skirt the coastline of Cotubanama National Park, with commentary from a local guide who tells you about the island's flora and fauna. You will see the El Peñón rocks and sail through the Catuano Channel. A swim is planned in the azure water of the natural pools, formed by sandbars in the open sea. The water is such a bright blue that you won't be able to resist. We will dock on one of the fabulous beaches of Saona Island and you will get off the boat to enjoy free time on this Caribbean beach. You can paddle, relax on the white sand and sunbathe, and even play beach volleyball. After enjoying a tasty buffet lunch, you will still have free time to enjoy the idyllic setting.
