Overview

Our Premium 4 Beaches Saona tour from Zel 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 6:20 AM at the Zel Punta Cana lobby, about 2h 15min to Bayahíbe. Speedboat both ways means more beach time and less travel. $120 per person all-inclusive.
