Our Trip to Saona Island!

This picture pretty much summarizes our trip to Saona Island.....PERFECT!!





Our Trip to the island was an all day excursion. We left at about 7:30 in the morning to drive to the other side of the Dominican Republic. (We were staying on the Atlantic Ocean side, and drove to the Caribbean side) Once we reached the ocean again, we took a catamaran to Saona Island. It took 1 hour and 30 minutes or so to sail to the island...it was gorgeous the whole way. We had a good time on the boat mingling and meeting new people.






While we were on the island, they gave us about 3 hours or so to relax, swim, eat lunch, search for shells....whatever we wanted to do! This beach had a lot more coral and shells, so it was fun to walk around searching for cool shells for our collection. We had so much fun on our trip to the island together. I think this was one of our favorite parts of the whole trip!!






Once we left the island we took speedboats back to land...but we had one more stop!

They stopped us in the "Natural Pool". It was part of the ocean that only came up to our chests where we could swim with the starfish. This was SO much fun!! What an amazing experience!! And notice how clear the water was! Again, you could see straight to the bottom!!




This was us in the speedboat on our way back to land. What a perfect day!! I had no complaints, that's for sure! It was a gorgeous day, beautiful scenery, fun people....and my man by my side!!! I couldn't have asked for anything more!
