Excursion to Isla Saona

Starting your morning picked up in the middle of Zonal Colonial. Don’t be alarmed by the amount of pigeons roaming the once busy streets, and take a pre-coordinated drive to Beyahibe Beach to hop on to your catamaran. There, the catamaran takes you on a two hour ride across the water through, sun, Reggaetón and lots of ron to Isla Saona, a picture perfect beach with clear-like water covered in palm trees.

Things that could possibly go wrong, that went wrong: downpour during the slow two hour catamaran ride, boat issues before the sand bar, running out of gas in the middle of the water.

As long as you have sunscreen, water, and a lifejacket, the rest might work out for you.

On the island, you can enjoy the sun, tan or burn at your own leisure. Enjoy a lunch provided by the tours, or purchase a coconut or fresh cut pineapple to refresh you as you lay on the white sand shore.

After a few hours, you can hop back on the catamaran to the next stop, a waist height sandbar where you can find star-fish.

Although my experience wasn’t all sun and sand, still highly enjoyable.

Sunrise OVER Punta Cana

Sunrise started close to 6AM, luckily the resort meets the beach with a short sprint out of bed.

With the sounds of the waves meeting the shore, and the feel of cool sand on your feet as you’re met with a warm sunrise, it may seem worth it that you didn’t let yourself sleep in for one day.

Roaming around Altos De Chavon

Around the area of La Romana, you can explore the stone sculpted streets that takes you back to the 16th century inspired look. Altos De Chavon was built in 1976, where artisans in the area have set up store fronts, and galleries around the grounds. You can browse and view the scenery that surrounds the small European-like village. You may come across a friendly donkey roaming the grounds or see the set up of a wedding at Iglesias de San Estanislao Church.

Visit the stadium that has hosted many international artists. You can even explore the stage to get a perspective what it would be like to be in the center of the 5,000 seated amphitheater, just don’t miss a step.
