All transfers are organized by Cana Tours. You don't need to arrange transportation or find the departure point yourself. Longer transfers are completely normal because some excursions depart from different regions of the Dominican Republic.

Where each tour departs from: Saona Island and Catalina Island tours depart from Bayahibe. Party Boat and Private Catamaran excursions depart from Bávaro. Horseback Riding and Los Ojos Eco Journey depart from Punta Cana Resort. Private Yacht Charters depart from Cap Cana Marina. Buggy Adventures, Taíno Night Journey and Dominican Adventure depart from Macao. Samaná Adventure departs from Miches with a catamaran.

What's included

Hotel pickup, transfer to Bayahibe, catamaran cruise with open bar (the catamaran is the fun part — music, dancing), speedboat back via the famous natural pool with starfish, buffet lunch on Saona beach. From Green Village Cap Cana specifically, the timing works because we already know the Cap Cana (gated condos) lobby pattern and the 8-minute hop to Cap Cana Marina — that's the corridor every Saona day-trip on this page uses. Family-oriented gated condo village inside Cap Cana — shared pools, padel courts and the most affordable rental option behind the gates.

Group vs private

Group tour is the lively classic. Private Saona by speedboat is the calm version — no crowds, your own schedule, ideal for couples and families with small children. For a Green Village Cap Cana stay, the day's anchor is the 20-minute window between PUJ and the Juanillo coast. We schedule each Saona day-trip around that buffer so couples and families staying in this 5-star Relais & Châteaux property aren't waiting at the gate for someone else's pickup.

Booking from Green Village Cap Cana

When Green Village Cap Cana guests book a Saona day-trip with us, the day is built around two fixed timings: the 8-minute hop to Cap Cana Marina and the 20-minute window to PUJ. Because Green Village Cap Cana is a 5-star Relais & Châteaux property, we pre-brief the guide on the lobby layout, the resort's wristband policy, and where to wait so security never asks twice. That's the difference between a smooth pickup and 20 lost minutes at the gate.

Send your dates, group size and room number on WhatsApp

Yes — drivers wait at the Green Village Cap Cana main lobby. PUJ airport is about 20 min away, which helps us time pickups precisely.

Which marina do boats leave from for Green Village Cap Cana guests?+

Cap Cana Marina — about 8 min from the Green Village Cap Cana lobby. We always pick the marina that saves drive time over chasing a slightly cheaper boat further away.

How long is the boat ride to Saona?+

About 45 min by catamaran going, 30 min by speedboat returning via the natural pool. Total trip 9–10 h door-to-door. Specifically for Green Village Cap Cana guests: pickup is at your lobby, the driver is briefed on the Cap Cana (gated condos) wristband policy, and the Saona day-trip runs on the schedule we agreed by WhatsApp.

Is Saona good for small children?+

Yes — shallow turquoise water and soft sand. We recommend the private speedboat option for kids under 4. From Green Village Cap Cana the operational detail is the 8-minute transfer to Cap Cana Marina and the 20-minute window to PUJ — both already built into the Saona day-trip price you see.

Why not just book at the hotel excursion desk?+

Resort desks resell the same trips with a 30–50% markup and usually push larger group operators. We connect you directly to the small Dominican operators we use for our own family.

Can I pay in cash on the day?+

Yes — USD or DOP, in cash, on pickup. Card and bank transfer also work. No deposit needed for most options.

What languages do guides speak?+

Group tours are bilingual EN/ES. German, French, Italian, Russian and Portuguese guides available on request for private trips.

Can it be private, just for our group?+

Yes — almost everything on this page has a private upgrade (own boat, own buggy, own driver). Ask us on WhatsApp.
