Saona Island Premium 4 Beaches tour from Bahia Principe Luxury Esmeralda

Overview

Our Premium 4 Beaches Saona tour from Bahia Principe Luxury Esmeralda is the ultimate island upgrade. While most tours only visit one beach, we take you to four: the Palmilla natural pool (snorkel with starfish), the secluded Toro Beach, the colorful Mano Juan fishing village for a Dominican buffet lunch (grilled chicken, fish, rice, beans, salads, fruit), and the pristine Canto de la Playa. Pickup at 6:55 AM at the Bahia Principe Luxury Esmeralda lobby, about 2h to Bayahíbe. Speedboat both ways means more beach time and less travel. $120 per person all-inclusive. Kids welcome, family-friendly pricing on request. Open bar on board (rum, beer, soft drinks). National Park fee included. Back at the resort by ~6:00 PM.
