Saona Island Premium 4 Beaches tour from Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana
Door-to-door pickup at the Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana lobby, about 2h 5min to Bayahíbe. Speedboat both ways to explore 4 spectacular stops: Palmilla, Toro Beach, Mano Juan, and Canto de la Playa — no slow catamaran, just the best of Saona.
Overview
Our Premium 4 Beaches Saona tour from Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana 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 6:30 AM at the Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana lobby, about 2h 5min 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.
