About this experience

We're taking you to the Super-Star of off-shore islands in the Dominican Republic. Think sun, sand, booze, boats and bikinis! You can thank us later but for now let us tell you about the ridiculously beautiful Saona Island.

We'll hit the Caribbean Sea on a speedboat and slowly cruise you back to the mainland on a spacious catamaran. Oh, there’s also music, animation and open bar. This is the Caribbean, folks. It's an all-inclusive, full-day outing and you need some time away from your Punta Cana resort. You get the boat, the open bar and the food. Oh, and we pick you up and drop you off at your lobby. That is easy!
