About this experience
We Meet at Bayahibe port. After a quick briefing (all in English) you'll hop aboard the very comfortable boat on which you can chill and take in the sun and surroundings as we head to natural shallow-water pools, away from the crowds. You'll be free to swim and snorkel (equipment provided) and soak up the immaculate nature and warm waters.
We'll then head to the fabulous island of Saona. I know where and when to go to avoid the noisy, crazy catamaran parties!
There will be countless photo opportunities throughout the trip. And opportunities for you to learn about the local area and nature!
