BayahibeMeet at our office in the fishing village of Bayahibe, the only departure port to Saona Island. Guests staying in Bayahibe village are within walking distance. After a short welcome and briefing, board a comfortable boat and begin your Caribbean adventure directly from the coast, without long road transfers.
-
Discover Mano Juan, the only village on Saona Island, known for its colorful houses and peaceful local atmosphere. Travelers will explore this authentic fishermen’s village, visit the turtle nursery, enjoy lunch served on the beach, and have free time to relax and swim in the calm waters of Mano Juan. Baby turtles can sometimes be seen depending on the season.

Navigate through Cotubanamá National Park, a protected area known for its rich marine biodiversity. The route crosses the Catuano Channel, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean Sea, then continues through mangroves where red mangrove trees grow in seawater. This preserved environment often offers opportunities to spot adult sea turtles and, occasionally, rays.

Finish the excursion at the famous Natural Pool, a shallow turquoise sandbank in the Caribbean Sea where travelers can relax in waist-deep water, enjoy a drink, and admire giant starfish in a unique tropical setting. Return to the port of Bayahibe with beautiful memories.
