Overview

Created for AIDA cruise passengers calling at La Romana, this small-group shore excursion is timed to your ship's schedule. Whether you arrive aboard AIDAdiva, AIDAbella or AIDAperla, pickup is directly at the cruise terminal at 8:00 AM, with return well before departure.

Discover the authentic side of Saona Island in a group of no more than 34 guests. Visit Mano Juan, the sea turtle conservation center, Canto de la Playa and the famous Natural Pool.

Unlike standard cruise excursions, this experience combines comfort, authenticity and personalized service for a relaxed discovery of one of the Dominican Republic's most beautiful islands.

The itinerary is carefully planned to ensure your return to La Romana Cruise Port well before departure.
If your ship cannot dock due to weather, itinerary changes or other cruise-related circumstances beyond your control, you will receive a full refund.
