Does this Saona Tour include eating lobster at the buffet?
No. Eating lobster at the buffet is an extra service that you can book separately when purchasing the excursion.
The lobsters in our free buffet are fished every day on the beaches of Bayahibe, in order to guarantee the freshness of the product. This area of the Caribbean has a large number of crustaceans and molluscs that feed on plankton and sargassum, being their ideal environment. So you cannot leave Isla Saona without having tried the Dominican lobster.
Flora and fauna at your fingertips in 110 km2
On Isla Saona you will find some of the endemic plant species of the Dominican Republic. In total, there are 4 ecosystems that we can appreciate within the island: thickets, semi-humid forests, salty forests and, of course, mangroves.
And it is that the beach is a few meters from the jungle, in which you can enter to feel far from the rest of the planet and appreciate the true sense of well-being.
In addition, on the coast it is worth trying to spot animals such as the rhinoceros iguana or the fishing bat.
