Route
How does the day work?
The speedboat leaves Bayahibe for snorkeling before Playa El Toro and lunch in Mano Juan, then returns via the natural pool.
- 10 min
1. Bayahibe pier
Your road transfer reaches Bayahibe before you board the speedboat. This is where the sea route begins.
- 20 min
2. Bayahibe reef
Take the snorkel gear on board if you want to swim. The bar opens after the swim.
- 4 min
3. Catuano Channel
You see the channel from the boat as you travel toward Saona. It separates the island from the mainland.
- 40 min
4. Playa El Toro
You have time for a beach walk and drinks at Playa El Toro. Flamencos Lagoon is a 2-minute walk away and isn't for swimming.
- 120 min
5. Mano Juan
Lunch is a buffet in the village. Choose the village walk or stay on the beach afterward.
- 15 min
6. Saona mangroves
The boat passes through mangroves on the way to the natural pool. There's time to learn about this habitat.
- 40 min
7. Saona natural pool
The final swim is in shallow water near Saona. Starfish must stay underwater and untouched.
- 30 min
8. Bayahibe pier
Back in Bayahibe, you switch to road transport. Punta Cana transfers can include a store stop for restrooms and local products.
The stay in Mano Juan lasts 2 hours. The natural pool stop takes 40 minutes before the boat returns to Bayahibe. Your hotel transfer follows the option you booked.
Pickup and meeting point
- Bayahibe option: Your Bayahibe option covers hotels in Bayahibe or Dominicus. The alternative meeting point is Dominicus Public Beach.
- Outer areas: Uvero Alto and Cap Cana hotels need the option named for those areas. Macao and Verón use that option too.
- Pickup arrangements: Sunday departures have no published start time. Arrange your hotel pickup time with All 4Fun before setting out.
Before you book
- Pick the option for your hotel area before paying. The Bayahibe option won't collect you in Punta Cana.
Fit
Is this tour right for you?
The Bayahibe option suits guests staying in Bayahibe or Dominicus on a Sunday. At least 5 adults are needed for the starting price. You get a shared speedboat capped at 14 guests. It's a fit if Playa El Toro matters more to you than a catamaran ride.
For Mano Juan with Punta Cana pickup, Visita's small group costs from $165 per person. For private road transfers, Bia's speedboat costs from $155 per adult for 4 or more.
Who it's not for
- Travelers unavailable on Sundays
- Punta Cana guests expecting pickup with the Bayahibe option
- Travelers with mobility issues or recent surgery
- Pregnant travelers

Bad weather or too few travelers can stop the trip from running. The starting price's 5-adult condition concerns your price. It doesn't establish how many bookings are needed for departure.
Bookings made more than 1 hour ahead are accepted immediately. Within 1 hour of the start they need operator approval. Your reservation can include up to 14 travelers and must include an adult.
The Bayahibe option collects only from Bayahibe or Dominicus hotels. It won't pick you up in Punta Cana. Your pickup is arranged 90 minutes before the tour's start.

People also ask
- How much is All 4Fun Dominicana's Saona trip?
The Bayahibe option starts from $110 per adult for 5 or more. That price includes local hotel collection in Bayahibe or Dominicus. If you're staying in Punta Cana, your party needs a different transfer option on the booking page.
- Does All 4Fun's Bayahibe Saona price include Cap Cana pickup?
No, your Cap Cana hotel needs the From Uvero Alto and Cap Cana option for this 10-hour trip. The Bayahibe price won't cover that collection. Choose the option for your hotel area before entering your group's traveler details.
- Is All 4Fun's Saona tour available every day?
No, this 10-hour tour runs on Sundays. The schedule doesn't give a departure time for any of the three options. Arrange your hotel pickup time with All 4Fun before planning your morning.
- What ages pay child prices on All 4Fun's Saona tour?
Children aged 3 to 11 pay the child price, with adult tickets starting at 12. Children under 3 aren't suited to this trip. Alcoholic drinks are restricted to guests aged 18 and older even when younger travelers hold adult tickets.
- Does All 4Fun's Saona tour include lobster and photos?
No, lobster and photographs are extra on the 10-hour tour. Your included meal is a buffet lunch in Mano Juan, with snacks elsewhere in the day. Drinks are covered, so those extras don't replace the food already in the price.
