How the day unfolds
A route outline, not a fixed timetable. Boat order and timings can change with conditions and operations.
Meet your transfer
Check whether your pickup is at the hotel lobby, gate or a separate meeting point. The road transfer brings you to Bayahibe for boarding; time collecting other guests is part of the day.
Swim at the natural pool
The featured listing includes a shallow-water stop on the way to the island. Conditions determine the practical schedule; starfish are wildlife and sightings are not guaranteed.
Lunch and island time
Saona is the main destination, with time for swimming, relaxing and a Dominican buffet. Allow roughly three hours as the listing’s inclusion summary suggests; the final operating schedule can vary.
Catamaran and return
The day combines a speedboat with a catamaran and local drinks. Follow the crew’s boarding instructions and leave your evening flexible for the return transfer.
