From there, you'll board a speedboat to zip across the Caribbean Sea, making a special stop at the Natural Pool—the largest in the Caribbean—where the water is only waist-deep and filled with starfish.
☀️ Upon arriving at Saona Island, you’ll have plenty of time to relax in a lounge chair, stroll along the pristine coastline, or take a dip in the calm, azure waters. After a few hours of island bliss, enjoy a hearty Dominican lunch featuring grilled meats, rice, and fresh tropical fruits.
