- Bayahibe - Arrive at the Bayahibe office by 9:30 am, where coffee will be ready for you. At 9:45 am, the boat departs for Saona Island.
- Cotubanamá National Park - Let’s embark on an adventure to explore the Cotubanama National Park. Take a brief pause in front of the Penon, where an English-speaking guide will share insights about this cliff and the Tainos, the island’s original inhabitants. Then, explore the mangroves, a forest of mangrove trees growing directly in the sea’s saltwater.
- Canto De La Playa - The first stop will be on Saona Island, at Canto de la Playa beach. Enjoy two hours on this picturesque beach with white sand and palm trees. Some may choose to relax, while others might go snorkeling…
- Mano Juan - After these delightful moments, take the fast boat back to the village of Mano Juan, where a Dominican lunch will be served. After lunch, put on a hat and sunscreen to explore the village of Mano Juan with a guide and discover local life (wooden houses, anecdotes, local shops, national sports…).
Conclude the adventure with a visit to the turtle nursery, a project managed by a local family. With limited resources, they care for hatching eggs during the nesting period and release baby turtles into the sea. Seeing newborns is not guaranteed 100%, as it depends on the season and hatching cycle. After the visit, take a moment to relax by the water or test your bargaining skills in the small local shops.
- Cotubanamá National Park - To finish on a high note, pass by the famous natural pool where giant starfish can be observed (note that touching them is not allowed, but you can admire them and take photos). Enjoy a drink in the Caribbean’s turquoise waters and savor this magical moment.
- Bayahibe - Return to the Bayahibe port with unforgettable memories, where transportation will be ready to take you back to the La Romana port.
