Saona Island, Canto de la Playa

Descripción del servicio

The main stops at the fishing village of Mano Juan and at the Canto De La Playa beach, cannot be reached by boats of 100 or more people or by sailing catamarans (which can only stop at the first beaches of Saona, as the reef coral and the shallow water prevent them from approaching the shoreline) but only from speed boats, launches and motomarans that we use. The first stop scheduled for our excursion is the Peñon (Taine Caves), where a guide from the Parque Nacional del Este will give you all the information on the national park and its morphology. Immediately afterwards we will move towards the Natural Pools (click here to watch the video), an extensive area with a very low sandy bottom about half a kilometer from the coast, where we will stop for about 50 minutes: here you can take a bath in the crystal clear waters and there will be an open bar. Leaving the natural pools, we will take a walk until we get close to the Mangroves: the boat will go very slowly and you can comfortably stand on the bow to sunbathe and admire the numerous Starfish (click here to watch the video), which can be photographed but do not touch (it is forbidden) during the stop that we will make for snorkeling (masks will be provided). When we get close to the Mangroves, the guide will give you more information and where the lucky ones will be able to admire the turtles in their habitat. Once we have resumed our seats in the motomaran, we will continue towards the island of Saona. The first stop will be Mano Juan, a small fishing village where about 250/300 people live all year round. Here, together with the guide, you will visit the Village (with the fishermen's houses with the typical Caribbean colors) and the Turtle Sanctuary (click here to look at the image), where you can observe the eggs and the newly hatched turtles (depending on the period : there are 3/4 months a year in which it will not be possible to observe them, due to their reproduction cycle). After the visit, you will have about 30/40 minutes of free time to swim, have a drink and, for those who want, to visit the local market. The lunch, which will always be held at Mano Juan, will be composed as follows: Grilled lobsters (we specify that from March 1 to June 30, due to the period of reproduction of the same, fishing and consumption are prohibited), fillet of grouper baked in foil, pasta, rice, chick Prices: Adult: 80USD Child from 4 to 9 years old: 55USD Information - WHATSAPP +1 829 406 24 43
