Punta Cana: Catamaran Boat to Saona Island with Buffet Lunch

1.Catamaran Boat to Saona Island with Buffet Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 3,822 reviews · 8 hours · from $82Our pick

Travel by bus, speedboat, and catamaran from Punta Cana to Saona Island. Swim in a starfish-filled natural pool, enjoy a Dominican buffet, relax on white sand, and return with music and dancing. Guides may include Christian, Alex, Eduardo, or Juan. The day is fun but often lasts 12 hours.

“christian was an amazing tour guide who provides an amazing vibe to the trip. very versatile in both english and french. the bus ride was a little long but the bus had ac and pit stop for the washroom. The bathrooms on saona was disgusting but other then that you definitely get your moneys worth with the lunch buffet and open bar. My favourite part of the trip was the dancing girls on the catamaran.”

Punta Cana Combo Tour: Snorkeling, Catamaran Cruise & Parasailing

3.Snorkeling, Catamaran Cruise & Parasailing

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,094 reviews · from $149

Spend about 4.5 hours combining a double-decker catamaran, shallow-water snorkeling, a natural-pool stop, drinks, music, and parasailing from Cortesito Beach. Guides such as Derly, Deryl, Victor, and Kitson are often praised for keeping the day friendly and fun, though weather, waiting, and changing boat arrangements can affect the pace.

“Pickup and drop off were fine. That was it. Everything else was chaos. We started by getting thrown in this little dingy of a boat with 10-12 other people that brought us over to parasailing & we had to transfer from boat to boat. Once on the parasailing boat, the workers were rude and aggressive with putting the equipment on you. You were up parasailing for 2-5 mins and the rest of the time you were waiting for everyone else to go. After that was done, the dingy came back with 10-12 more people and we needed to swap places. Then we got back to the shore and got out…”

“This was a really fun experience if you're looking for a party boat atmosphere. We did snorkel but it was pretty crowded and we didn't really see many fish, so that wasn't the highlight, but the kids and adults did enjoy the slide and swimming in the beautiful blue ocean. Stopping at the sandbar was a fun experience but it was also really loud with a ton of big boats blasting their music. For our group we probably would have preferred cruising more or snorkeling at a quieter spot vs. the sandbar but that may just be a personal preference. We were 50/50 on having the photographer on board, he…”
