Detailed itinerary
1
Relax in a unique Dominican environment with this excursion to Isla Saona from Punta Cana. Beaches with crystal clear waters and wild vegetation await you so you can enjoy a very special day.

A stop is made at the natural pool about 200 or 300 meters from the beach line, with the water at knee or waist height, to enjoy a perfect landscape and climate. Bathers have to enjoy about 800 meters parallel to the beach, between the white sand and the enormous coral terrace that separates the natural pool from the open sea and that makes this geological wonder possible.
