Saona Island Full-Day Tour from Punta Cana All Inclusive

About

This is a 13-hour boat trip to Saona Island, off the southeast coast, departing from Punta Cana. The island sits inside the protected Comodoro National Park zone, so the water is flat turquoise and the sand is white powder. Most tours stop at a sandbar in the middle of the bay where you can stand in knee-deep water a half-mile from shore. The all-inclusive tag means lunch, open bar on the boat, and sometimes snorkel gear, but confirm what's covered when you book. The $58 starting price puts it on the budget end for full-day island excursions. Two reviews on Viator give it a perfect 5 rating, but that's a tiny sample—this is a popular route with dozens of operators running nearly identical itineraries, so your experience depends heavily on boat size and crowd management. Expect to leave early and get back after dark. Bring sun protection and cash for tips or anything sold on the island.
