Punta Cana, 01.01.2024
Saona Island is the most popular tourist destination for day-trips in the Dominican Republic.
It is an island in the southeast of the country. It’s known for mangroves, coral reefs, palm-fringed beaches and surrounded by incredibly blue turquoise waters. Which are home to starfish.
Mano Juan is a laid-back fishing village with colorful shacks and a turtle egg collection station. It is part of the National Park Cotubanamá (formerly called Parque Nacional del Este).






The island was baptized “Santa Catalina” by Christopher Columbus, who visited it in May 1494. The island itself is only 9.6 square kilometers in size and a protected area.
Today the island is a very popular destination, to visit the beach, snorkel, and view the corals close to the shore. Daily boats travel from the village Bayahibe to Island Catalina.
