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 Los Corales Apartments specifically, the timing works because we already know the Los Corales / Cortecito (vacation rentals) lobby pattern and the 10-minute hop to Cabeza de Toro — that's the corridor every Saona day-trip on this page uses. Cluster of vacation-rental apartments across Los Corales — popular with long-stay travellers, digital nomads and families who prefer kitchens over buffet dining.
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 Los Corales Apartments stay, the day's anchor is the 25-minute window between PUJ and the Los Corales coast. We schedule each Saona day-trip around that buffer so couples and families staying in this family luxury resort aren't waiting at the gate for someone else's pickup.
Booking from Los Corales Apartments
When Los Corales Apartments guests book a Saona day-trip with us, the day is built around two fixed timings: the 10-minute hop to Cabeza de Toro and the 25-minute window to PUJ. Because Los Corales Apartments is a family luxury resort, 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
Send your dates, group size and room number on WhatsApp. We confirm pickup time at the hotel lobby, the meeting guide's name, and the cash/card price — usually within minutes, 7am–11pm. Pickup is from the Los Corales Apartments main lobby. We send a confirmation message with the driver's name and plate the evening before. Expect roughly 25 min between PUJ airport and the hotel. We're a Dominican team based in Bávaro. No call centre, no resort kick-back. Your concierge resells the same trips at +30–50% — we put you in touch with the small operators directly.

FAQ
Common questions
Do you pick up at Los Corales Apartments?+
Yes — drivers wait at the Los Corales Apartments main lobby. PUJ airport is about 25 min away, which helps us time pickups precisely.
Which marina do boats leave from for Los Corales Apartments guests?+
Cabeza de Toro — about 10 min from the Los Corales Apartments 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 Los Corales Apartments guests: pickup is at your lobby, the driver is briefed on the Los Corales / Cortecito (vacation rentals) 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 Los Corales Apartments the operational detail is the 10-minute transfer to Cabeza de Toro and the 25-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.
