Discover the enchanting southern coastline of Saona Island through this excursion departing from Boca Chica. A captivating paradise rich in native wildlife and mangrove ecosystems awaits your exploration!
Description
Your adventure will commence between 7 and 9 am with a pickup from your accommodation in Boca Chica. Afterward, we will journey towards Bayahíbe, where a boat will take us to the stunning Cotubanamá National Park. Along the way, a brief stop at Palmilla Beach will allow us to soak in the beauty of this serene location, embraced by coconut palms and soft sands.
We will then continue our voyage to Saona Island, a remarkable gem within the Cotubanamá National Park, also referred to as Parque Nacional del Este. Here, we will explore Playa La Caleta and Playa Mano Juan, famous for their crystalline natural pools.
When it’s time for lunch, we will indulge in a traditional meal by the seaside, featuring rice, meat, salad, pasta, and a soft drink.
After our meal, we’ll stroll through the vibrant town of Mano Juan, taking in the colorful traditional houses and visiting the sea turtle conservation center. Here, we will gain insights into the vital protocols for nurturing the hatchlings of these magnificent creatures. If your visit falls between August and September, you may even witness the adorable newborn turtles!
Next, we’ll make our way to Los Flamencos Beach for a refreshing swim while observing some of the most remarkable native birds in the region. Afterward, we’ll reboard our boat to navigate through the lush mangrove areas, aquatic forests teeming with red, white, button, and black mangroves. If you wish, you can even take a dip to marvel at the starfish below, being cautious not to disrupt their habitat.
As the day draws to a close, we will savor a delightful cocktail featuring Dominican rum. Finally, we will return to the pier in Bayahíbe and catch the bus back to Boca Chica, ensuring you arrive at your hotel between 5 and 6:30 pm.
