- Cotubanamá National Park - Embark on a small group adventure to explore Saona Island, beginning at the Penon with an English-speaking guide who will share the history of the Tainos natives and the mangroves.
- Catuano - Next, explore the mangroves, a forest of mangrove trees growing directly in the saltwater of the sea.
- Saona Island - Our first stop will be on Saona Island, at the village of Mano Juan. Wear a hat and sunscreen to explore the village with our guide and discover local life, including wooden houses, anecdotes, local shops, and national sports.
Conclude the adventure with a visit to the turtle nursery, a project maintained by a local family. With limited resources, they care for hatching eggs during the nesting period and release baby turtles into the sea. The chance to see newborns is not guaranteed 100%, as it depends on the season and hatching cycle. After the visit, take a moment to relax by the water or test your bargaining skills in the small local shops.
After visiting the village and creating wonderful memories, a Dominican lunch awaits you.
- Canto De La Playa - The next stop is the famous virgin beach of Canto de la Playa. Enjoy 1.5 hours on this idyllic beach with white sand lined with palm trees. Some may choose to relax, while others might opt for snorkeling.
- Cotubanamá National Park - To end on a high note, we will visit the famous natural pool where we can observe giant starfish (please note that touching them is not allowed, but you can admire them and take photos). Enjoy a drink in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean and savor this magical moment.
- Bayahibe - Return to the Bayahibe port with unforgettable memories, where your transportation will be ready to take you back to the La Romana port.
