Saona Island tour from Majestic Elegance for Majestic Elegance guests
A Saona Island tour from Majestic Elegance / Colonial is the cleanest day out of the resort if you're staying in Arena Gorda. Pickup at the Elegance or Colonial main lobby at 6:45 AM (only the rest of Bávaro slows the route), 2 h 15 min to Bayahíbe, catamaran-and-speedboat combo (calm sail out, fast ride back), three beach stops: Palmilla Natural Pool (knee-deep starfish), Mano Juan (lobster lunch, Brugal Extra Viejo), and Canto de la Playa. Open bar, snorkeling, lunch included. Couples / small-boat / private charter upgrades available — we keep the same Elegance pickup time and just change the boat at the Bayahíbe pier.

Logistics & timing for Saona Island tour from Majestic Elegance
Punta Cana to marina transfers run on a private shuttle, not a shared bus. That means we pick up your hotel, then go — no waiting for 3 other resorts to load. From the marina the boat is usually 10 min walk; for jeep/buggy/horse trips the meeting point is the operator's base camp.
Pair your Saona Island tour from Majestic Elegance with
Most Majestic Elegance guests who book Saona Island tour from Majestic Elegance also add saona island tour, catamaran cruise, catalina island tour and horseback beach riding. If you'd rather build a 3–4 day plan instead of one-off bookings, see our things to do in bavaro, couples excursions from majestic elegance, saona island private boat and best saona island tour pages — same team, same WhatsApp thread, one combined price.
Local intel for Saona Island tour from Majestic Elegance
Stuff we wish we'd known before our first Saona Island tour from Majestic Elegance day: (1) The "free" excursions at the resort lobby are not free — they're a 30–50% mark-up on the same operators we use direct. (2) Atlantic side (Bávaro/Cabeza de Toro) gets afternoon chop; Caribbean side (Cap Cana, Saona) stays glassy. We factor that into which boat we recommend for your hotel. (3) The published "all-inclusive resort" price for Saona Island tour from Majestic Elegance is usually $120–180 per person. Our direct rate for the same boat is closer to $70–110. We're not cheaper because we're worse — we're cheaper because we skip the kickback chain.
Why locals book with us
We're a Punta Cana-based team that has ridden every boat, walked every beach and timed every transfer on this site. WhatsApp goes straight to the founders, not a call center.
