8:30 AM – All Aboard!
Step onto our speedboat where your adventure begins! Meet your friendly crew, enjoy a welcome drink, and cruise through the turquoise Caribbean Sea.

Our first destination is the Natural Pool, a shallow sandbar surrounded by dazzling blue waters. Sip a cocktail, swim, take stunning photos with starfish, and enjoy the tropical calm.
Stop 2: Canto de la Playa
Next, we reach Canto de la Playa, one of Saona’s most remote and untouched beaches — a hidden gem with white sand, coconut palms, and zero crowds. Swim, snorkel, or just relax in paradise.

We serve a gourmet Dominican buffet under the palm trees, including lobster (seasonal), grilled meats, rice, pasta, tropical fruits, and more. Enjoy your meal with beer, rum, soft drinks, and sangria — all included.
