An excursion to Isla Saona is the number one tour for visitors to Punta Cana. Isla Saona is a beautiful island off of the southern coast of the Dominican Republic and is a protected nature preserve as it belongs to the National Park of the East.
Isla Saona is the top excursion on many Punta Cana visitors things to do list. Typically, to visit Isla Saona, an excursion begins with a 90 minute bus ride from your hotel in Punta Cana to the small fishing village of Bayahibe where most of the boats to the island depart. Excursion companies transport you to Isla Saona on speedboats or catamarans or a combination of speedboat one way and a catamaran the other way. Free drinks and a beach barbeque are usually included in the tour.
There is a new website that we have noticed about Isla Saona, called islasaona.net. This website contains information about the island, how to get there and links to various excursions available to the island. Check it out for many pictures of the island and also videos of Isla Saona trips.

Punta Cana is known for its beaches and the sands in front of all-inclusive resorts are like a pedestrian highway of beach walkers.

The crawl could be done solo or as a couple, but it’s great in a group.
