For Baní, alcoholic drinks and purchases at Las Marías are not included: the stop is included, the purchases are not.

Can I choose how to spend my day on Saona Island?

+

Yes. The trip already covers transport, the boat and meals, so you arrive with nothing left to arrange. On the island you can add any optional activities you like, on your own.

How much does it cost?

Saona Island costs US$75 per person and includes round-trip ground transport from Santo Domingo, the round-trip boat to the island, and meals and drinks. Catalina Island costs US$75 per person with the same package. Samaná costs US$98 per person and includes pickup at your hotel, Airbnb or residence, round-trip transport, water and non-alcoholic drinks, a boat tour through Los Haitises among mangroves, rock formations and caves with Taíno pictographs, and Cayo Levantado with a Dominican lunch and beach chairs; alcoholic drinks and whale watching are not included.

What time is pickup in Santo Domingo?

+

For Saona and Catalina, pickup is at 7:00 AM at your hotel, Airbnb or residence in Santo Domingo, departure from Santo Domingo at 8:00 AM and arrival at the boarding area at 10:00 AM. The return leaves at 4:00 PM and reaches Santo Domingo at 6:00 PM.

How is this different from bus tours?

+

Large tours use buses seating up to forty people, so the pickup route is long and you spend a lot of time waiting for everyone to board. We travel in an eight-seat van: the route is short, we pick you up at your door, and you do not get up earlier than you need to.

How do I book?

+

One person can book. Each departure runs once it has at least two paid passengers. Complete the form up to eight hours before departure; one carry-on bag per passenger is allowed. We will contact you on WhatsApp to confirm availability and arrange payment by PayPal or bank transfer.

Where do you pick up?
