Isla Saona Day Trip
Cotubanamá National Park, usually via Bayahíbe, Dominican Republic
Saona is a full-day excursion from Punta Cana, usually combining a road transfer to Bayahíbe with a boat journey into Cotubanamá National Park. The island’s palm-lined beaches and shallow turquoise waters explain its popularity, but the quality of the day depends heavily on the itinerary and group size. Compare how much time is spent travelling, on the beach and at intermediate stops. Keep the protected landscape in mind and leave wildlife undisturbed.
