Step into a rare blend of nature, culture, and marine life on this unforgettable day trip to the Sea Turtle Sanctuary on Saona Island. This eco-conscious experience is more than just a beach day — it’s a conservation journey.
You’ll snorkel through vibrant coral reefs at Cayo Ratón and in the sea turtle zone, where you may spot one of the protected species of the Dominican Republic — including the beautiful hawksbill turtle. Then explore the historical wreck of a stranded ship, giving a mysterious and adventurous feel to the tour.
A highlight of the experience is a visit to the Mano Juan Sea Turtle Sanctuary, where you’ll learn firsthand about the country’s most important turtle conservation project. Meet locals, hear about the transformation of “Negro,” a former turtle hunter turned conservation hero, and discover how the project is saving endangered species.
Along the way, you’ll relax at Saona Island’s natural pools, sip national drinks, and enjoy a freshly prepared Dominican lunch — all in a small group setting with a knowledgeable local guide.
