  • Mano Juan
    Our next stop is the charming fishing village Mano Juan, with no cars and only 300 inhabitants. Explore the village and learn about local life. You will visit the sea turtle project and learn about these beautiful creatures. The project is aiming to increase hatchling survival to stabilize the population.
  • Canto De La Playa
    Canto de la Playa: the most remote corner of Saona Island with crystal clear waters and untouched nature. Enjoy the beautiful scenery and relax under the palm trees, enjoy a drink or go snorkeling in the shallow waters. The bay is protected by the reef barrier and the water is no more than 5 feet / 1.5 meter deep, making it ideal for beginning snorkelers. Canto de la Playa is also known for being the filming location of some well known movies.
  • Our third beach stop is at Catuano Beach which is SeavisTours' concession beach. A beautiful beach lined with palm trees and gifted with crystal clear water and pure white sand. Here you will enjoy a traditional Dominican BBQ lunch buffet. Afterwards, you can relax on one of the beach chairs or hammocks spread around the beach.
  • National Park of the East
    Now we will pass the Mangroves on our way to the channel that separates Saona Island and the mainland. The mangrove forests are the nursery of the ocean through the protection and food they provide. The government has recognized the importance of this area and since September 2013 it is closed for all boat traffic. We will go along side the mangroves.
  • Palmilla
    Our last stop and one of the Highlights of the excursion is at the "Piscina Natural", the famous natural swimming pool. This large sand bank is well-known for the indigenous starfish which really do live there! We locate our boat in an excluded spot, so you feel alone in the middle of the ocean and can see the starfish in their natural habitat among the grasses. Learn about these fascinating animals and get some insight on why they are so special. The water is shallow -even far from the shore it will never be more than waist deep- and the colors of the water are incredible turquoise and blue.
  • Bayahibe
    Enjoy our office space after arriving back from the excursion, have a refreshing drink until you are ready to leave.
