Choose the experience that fits your trip

Current catalog options. Open each activity for its exact itinerary, inclusions and live quote.

The same island, another group format

Classic sells traveler places on a shared catamaran / speedboat day. Saona Grand reserves a private catamaran for up to twenty. A private purchase is not required to visit Saona, but changes who shares the vessel with you.

Compare your actual party

Classic starts at US$69 per adult. Saona Grand starts at US$4,200 per group and keeps that price below maximum capacity. Count every guest rather than dividing by an assumed full boat. Transfers from the four covered areas are included; lobster, photos and personal extras are not.
