One of the best things about Saona Island is that you don’t have to experience it the same way as everyone else: some travelers want speed and adventure, others want to enjoy the journey, music, and time on the water, and some simply want the boat to be exclusively for their family, partner, or friends.
That’s why at Perico Ripiao Tours, there are different ways to experience a Saona Island tour from Punta Cana.
Shared Speedboat to Saona Island
A shared speedboat is a great choice for travelers who want a dynamic experience while sharing the journey with other visitors. The trip begins in Bayahibe, where you’ll board the boat and head toward Saona, with stops that can include the natural pool and other beautiful areas of the island.
Best for: travelers who enjoy an active experience and sharing the day with other visitors.
Private Speedboat to Saona Island
Would you rather have the boat just for your group? A private speedboat tour to Saona Island gives you an exclusive experience with your family, partner, or friends. Because the boat isn’t shared with other travelers, the day feels more personal and offers greater privacy — a great combination of speed, privacy, and flexibility.
Best for: families, couples, groups of friends, and special occasions.
Shared Catamaran to Saona Island
If the journey itself is part of the fun for you, a shared catamaran tour offers a completely different experience: the goal isn’t simply to reach Saona, but to enjoy the sailing, the atmosphere on board, and the experience of being on the Caribbean with other travelers. You can relax, enjoy the scenery, and experience the sea before continuing your day on the island.
Important: snorkeling is not included in the shared catamaran experience.
Best for: travelers who enjoy a social atmosphere and the experience of sailing on a catamaran.
Private Catamaran to Saona Island
A private catamaran tour to Saona Island takes the experience in a different direction: the catamaran is exclusively for your group, giving you greater privacy and a more relaxed atmosphere throughout the day. It’s especially attractive for families, groups of friends, celebrations, and travelers who want to make their Saona experience something special.
Best for: travelers looking for privacy, exclusivity, and time on the Caribbean with their own group.
Private Yacht to Saona Island
For travelers looking for an even more exclusive experience, we can also offer Saona Island by private yacht — an option designed for those who want a higher level of privacy, comfort, and exclusivity. The yacht becomes an important part of the experience, not simply the way you get to the island.
Best for: celebrations, private groups, special occasions, and travelers looking for a premium Caribbean experience.
Which Saona Island Tour Is Right for You?
There isn’t one answer for everyone. It all depends on how you want to spend your day:
- Choose a speedboat if you want speed and a more dynamic experience.
- Choose a catamaran if you enjoy sailing, the atmosphere on board, and spending time on the Caribbean.
- Choose a private experience if you want the boat exclusively for your group and greater privacy.
- Choose a private yacht if you want to take the private experience to another level.
The important thing is choosing the experience that matches how you want to spend your day.
