Information about this tour

Experience the most exclusive island excursion in the Dominican Republic with our Saona Island VIP Tour from Bayahibe. Designed for travelers looking for a more private, comfortable, and less crowded experience, this premium Saona Island excursion combines luxury, paradise beaches, gourmet food, premium drinks, and personalized service in the heart of the Caribbean.

Unlike regular group tours, the Saona VIP experience offers smaller groups, faster boarding, exclusive beach areas, more time in paradise, and premium food and drink options while exploring the breathtaking beauty of Saona Island and the Natural Pool.

Your VIP adventure begins in Bayahibe around 9:45 AM with priority check-in and boarding. Around 10:00 AM, you will depart aboard a comfortable speedboat or luxury catamaran toward the crystal-clear waters of Saona Island, located inside the protected Cotubanamá National Park.

The first stop is the famous Saona Natural Pool, a shallow sandbank in the Caribbean Sea known for its turquoise water and giant starfish. Enjoy drinks in the water, take incredible photos, and relax in one of the most beautiful locations in the Dominican Republic.

Unlike standard excursions, VIP tours often avoid the large crowds and visit quieter beaches and exclusive areas of Saona Island for a more relaxing experience.

Once on Saona Island, enjoy several hours of beach time surrounded by white sand beaches, coconut palm trees, and turquoise Caribbean waters. Relax on beach loungers, swim in calm waters, enjoy music, or simply disconnect in paradise.
