Private Full Day Charter to Saona Island from Punta Cana

About

This is an eight-hour private boat charter to Saona Island, leaving from Punta Cana. You get the boat to yourself — no strangers, no fixed itinerary beyond the destination. Saona sits inside the protected waters of the East National Park, and the appeal is mostly the sandbar stops and the emptier beaches on the island's eastern end if you time it right. The price starts at $2,400, which covers the boat, not per person, so the math works if you're traveling as a group. Fifty-four reviews on Viator rate it a perfect 5.0, which is rare enough to note. Departure times and pickup points flex around your schedule, and most charters will adjust the route if you want more snorkeling or less anchored time. Bring cash for the island — there are a few beach shacks selling grilled fish and cold beer, but they don't all take cards. Sunscreen reapplication matters more than you think on an open boat.
