Saona Deluxe & Altos de Chavón
$169 per person
Saona Deluxe is our most complete Saona Island day in a small group of up to 20 guests: a morning walk through Altos de Chavón, a speedboat in both directions, a floating bar with champagne and fruit in the starfish natural pool, and lunch on the best beach of the island.
- Small group of up to 20 guests
- Walk through Altos de Chavón, the artists' village above the Chavón River
- Speedboat with sun loungers to the island and back
- Stop at the natural pool with starfish
- Floating bar in the natural pool: champagne, Caribbean rum, fresh fruit and soft drinks

- Mermaid tails for photos
- Professional, entertaining guide
- Clean, well-maintained buses and boats, punctual service
- Altos de Chavón
The day starts in Altos de Chavón, a village of stone streets, artists' workshops and a 5,000-seat amphitheater built above the Chavón River. A short walk, a coffee with a view and the first photos of the day before the boat.
- Speedboat
From Bayahibe a speedboat with sun loungers on the bow takes you along the coast of the Cotubanamá National Park. Thirty minutes of ocean breeze and open views instead of a slow crossing.
- Natural Pool and Floating Bar
The first stop at sea is the natural pool, a waist-deep sandbank where starfish live. The floating bar is waiting there: champagne, Caribbean rum, fresh fruit and soft drinks served in the water.
- Saona Island
Then the island itself: powdery white sand, turquoise water and the best beach area on Saona, with lunch served and plenty of free time to swim, nap and take photos.
- Mermaids
Try on a colorful mermaid tail and take the beach photos your friends will ask about. A small tradition of this tour that adults enjoy as much as kids.
Saona Deluxe is built around a small group of no more than 20 guests, which is what makes the day calm: short waits, attention from the guide, room on the boat and on the beach. Add the walk through Altos de Chavón, the speedboat in both directions, the floating bar in the natural pool and the best beach on the island, and you get the most complete Saona day we offer in a group format.
