Vacation On RD · Bayahibe
Vacation On RD runs the classic Saona route for a budget price: hotel pickup, a speedboat to the natural pool, about three and a half hours on the island and a party catamaran back at 2:35 pm. Pick it for a low price and the full route, if a long day does not bother you.
The route is the one most Saona tours follow. A transfer collects you from your hotel and drives to Bayahibe, a speedboat runs out across the sea with a stop at the natural pool, and you get about 3.5 hours on the beach for lunch, a swim and the hammock. At 2:35 pm the catamaran leaves for the sail back, about 1.5 hours with music and a party crowd.
The listed length is 10.5 hours, and that is the number to plan around. One guest timed a 12-hour day and wrote that only about 2.5 hours of it was off the transport. Expect a long, busy day on the main tour beach, not a quiet one. The listing's inclusions name lunch, alcoholic and soft drinks, water, coffee, tips and photos. They also name lobster and massages, which are worth confirming with the operator before you count on them.
Reviewers praise the guides, the photographers and the value. If you are staying in Bávaro, compare it with the classic day with Caribbean Route, which is shorter on paper, and with the budget catamaran day.
