Embark on a journey to discover the stunning Saona Island and the cultural richness of Altos de Chavón. This full-day tour offers a blend of pristine natural beauty and a deep dive into the vibrant culture and history of the Dominican Republic.
Start your day exploring Altos de Chavón, a Mediterranean-style village perched above the Chavón River. This cultural gem is known as the 'City of Artists', where cobblestone paths lead to the impressive amphitheatre, hosting performances by international artists. You'll delve into the rich history of the region at the Regional Archaeological Museum, housing a vast collection of pre-Columbian artefacts. The village also offers breathtaking views of the river and the surrounding landscape, providing ample photo opportunities.
After soaking in the cultural vibes of Altos de Chavón, set sail to the mesmerising Saona Island, a tropical paradise within the East National Park. The island's untouched beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant marine life offer a tranquil escape. Here, you'll have the chance to walk along the pristine beaches, relax under the swaying palm trees, or explore the vibrant underwater world while snorkelling.
A traditional Dominican lunch will be served, allowing you to savour the local flavours and cuisine. Post-lunch, immerse yourself in the island's natural beauty, explore its diverse ecosystems, or simply relax and soak up the sun.
The journey back is equally enchanting, with a stop at a natural swimming pool in the middle of the ocean, where you can observe starfish in their natural habitat. The serene environment and the gentle lapping of the waves create a soothing ambiance, concluding your day on a tranquil note.
Finally, you'll be comfortably transported back to your hotel, reminiscing about the day's adventures and the unforgettable experiences you've gathered. This tour combines the essence of the Dominican Republic's natural beauty and cultural richness, promising a day filled with exploration, relaxation, and a touch of adventure.
