Saona Island Hub

Saona Island (Isla Saona) is a postcard-perfect tropical island situated inside the protected Cotubanamá National Park. If you are looking for untouched white-sand beaches lined with leaning coconut palms and surrounded by shallow, calm natural pools, Saona is an absolute must-visit day trip from Punta Cana.

A Preserved Natural Sanctuary

Because Saona is a government-protected national reserve, you won't find high-rise hotels or commercial developments here. The island is famous for the giant starfish that inhabit its warm, waist-deep natural sandbars. Visitors typically travel to the island on a spacious party catamaran complete with local music and open bar, and return via high-speed speedboats for a thrill-packed journey. It is the number one ranked excursion in the Dominican Republic.
