YOUR JOURNEY AT A GLANCE
Cap Cana → Bayahíbe → Saona → Cap Cana
Confirm the schedule from your specific resort or villa, including security access and boat check-in.
Plan my trip from Cap CanaArrange the pickup inside Cap Cana
For a resort, give the full property name and ask which lobby the driver uses. For a villa or residence, share a map pin and check whether reception or security needs to authorize the vehicle. A booking under the broad name 'Punta Cana' does not settle these access details. Confirm a reachable contact before the collection morning.
A marina nearby does not change the shared departure
Saona Classic and Saona Premium board in Bayahíbe after the road transfer. Do not head to Marina Cap Cana unless your own confirmation explicitly names a separately arranged service there. For private groups, LoveSaona can quote a premium-priced departure from Marina Casa de Campo: that is a different marina and requires its own transfer and charter arrangement.
Match the comfort you want on land and water
A direct private vehicle can connect to the shared Premium boat; it does not make that boat exclusive. Classic is the larger catamaran experience, while Premium offers a smaller shared group and a route with more island stops. If you want the vessel exclusively for your party, request a private charter and specify the pickup separately. Compare the final total from Cap Cana, rather than assuming every transfer is covered by the advertised tour price.
Keep the evening flexible
Ask for a collection window, the Bayahíbe check-in deadline and the expected return to your property. A drive estimate alone excludes boarding, other pickups and possible delays. Leave room before a prepaid dinner, and plan an essential flight or hotel change on another day.

Questions about this departure
Does the Saona boat leave from Marina Cap Cana?
LoveSaona's shared Classic and Premium tours leave from Bayahíbe. From Cap Cana, the first part of the excursion is by road. Check your confirmation before going to any marina.
Can a driver collect us from a Cap Cana villa?
Send the exact location so access and a suitable collection point can be checked. Villa pickup and security authorization must be agreed for your booking; they are not automatic.
Is a private transfer the same as a private Saona tour?
No. A private transfer gives your party its own road vehicle. You can still join a shared boat in Bayahíbe. An exclusive vessel needs a separate charter quote.
