The magnificent National Park of the East lies at the southern-most corner of the Dominican Republic, covering an enormous area of over 790km². The landmass is covered in Subtropical Forest, which was once the home of the native Taino Indians. The park includes the wonderful off-shore island of Saona, offering brilliant azure waters, pristine beaches, coral reefs, and a myriad of marine creature to be observed by snorkelers and divers. You can explore the coastal waters on a catamaran excursion, which will usually include a stop for snorkeling, a beach stop with lunch, and the chance to visit the turtle sanctuary. It is also possible to explore the forested area on a guided hike and to visit Mano Juan, a small fishing village on Saona Island.
