NEW!!! PALMS UNDER THE STARS - Saona Island for 2 days with an overnight stay in a fishing village + Santo Domingo at sunset

 

Another option for hikers away from the crowds 😀 Our absolute number 1! Saona Island for 2 days and an evening tour of Santo Domingo.

 

Day 1:

On the first day we realize excursion program SAONA ISLAND A TASTE OF ADVENTURE (WITHOUT COMMERCE). This means an early departure from hotels on the north coast, followed by an approximately 5.5-hour drive to the south. Here in the port town of Bayahibe we will get on our private motor boat, to circumnavigate the most interesting backstreets of Saona Island. Before reaching the island, we will admire the the shores of Cotubanama National Park, bathe in natural swimming pool while sipping cuba libre and wandering around mangroves.

The rest of the cruise will give us an insight into the Saona's most beautiful beaches: main swimming area with the famous leaning palm tree, beach in the blue lagoon, gorgeous beach in the far east, finally an atmospheric beach of the Caribbean Mano Juan villages. On each of them there will be some free time for relaxation, swimming, photos, walks... So far the itinerary is identical to the 1-day variant.

However, Saona Island for 2 days allows us to extend our moments in paradise!!! 🙂 Instead of regretfully departing the island after a few hours of beachcombing, we will stay overnight in a charming The fishing village of Mano Juan - The only human settlement on the island!

It's a wonderful feeling to experience a night under a starry sky, between palm trees, and in a silence flashed only by the sound of the ocean 🙂 Naccommodation At the fishermen, clean and modest, but the joy is often greater than in a 5* hotel

 

Day 2:

On the second day, after breakfast on the beach, tour the village and learn about "turtle kindergarten. This is where sea turtles hatch from eggs previously collected on the beach, in order to provide them with a proper protection. 

Then until about noon there will be free time for Beachcombing and independent exploration of the area. Then the common dinner under the palms And finally, in the early afternoon, return from the island To the marina in Bayahibe. 

After about 2 hours of driving, we will arrive at the Santo Domingo, Where we will set off for a late-afternoon city tour. There are hardly any tourists in the capital at this time, the colonial streets are quiet. When the lanterns light up, buildings take on charm, which we do not experience during the day.

Our capital highlights include:

  • a cable car ride over the city,,
  • glance at Columbus Monument,
  • walk in the old town, with free time for a bar or restaurant

We will return from the trip to the north coast in the late evening hours.

 

Saona Island for 2 days is most imbued with the Caribbean Of all our tours ! Ideal for couples - Where could be more romantic than under the palms of Saona?.... Great for families with children - zero boredom! Excellent for those tired of commercialism - Because here it is almost missing. I'm writing this and already want to be there 😀 .

Wonderful trip!

It was the most beautiful two days in the Dominican Republic! A motorboat tour of the most beautiful beaches, a delicious lunch in a charming pub and the nail on the head of the program - relaxing on a wonderful and authentic island, where only a handful of tourists stay overnight. The cottage where we slept is modest but clean, right by the sea. For breakfast, in addition to pancakes and eggs, fruit and coconuts straight from the tree overlooking the sea. Organization of the tour and Diana as our guide - everything perfectly organized. Diana has a great knowledge of the island, its people and history - great story and shows the authentic island. I recommend for everyone - we just had a private tour in a very intimate group - tailor made - I recommend :)

2d day Saona February 2023

Hi. I would like to highly recommend to you Pepino Polaco - Polish in Puerto Plata - Polish tours in Dominican Republic. We were with Diana in an intimate group on a 2d day trip on Saon. By small boat we visited beautiful non-commercial beaches, a natural pool with starfish, mangroves with turtles. We anchored in the fishing village of Mano Juan, where we watched the sunset on a total chill with rum in hand. Later, we went to a local pub run by Pole Adam to enjoy a freshly caught huge crawfish. We spent the night in a local hotel, in modest but great conditions, practically on the beach, at night we could hear the sound of the waves. In the morning, breakfast, a walk around the village, time for beachcombing, lunch and return to the marina in Bayahibe, from where we went for an afternoon tour of Santo Domingo. The perfect time, when the crowds of tourists are gone and the setting sun provides beautiful light for photographing the sights. A city of contrasts, where among tons of garbage people live in a poor slum neighborhood and a few kilometers away stand shopping malls and apartment buildings with private security.
