Media Luna Natural Pool Tour – Discover Miches’ Hidden Caribbean Paradise

Why Choose the Media Luna Tour?

If you’re looking for something truly unique during your vacation in the Dominican Republic, the Media Luna Natural Pool Tour is the experience you’ve been searching for. While many tourists enjoy the sandbars of Saona Island or Punta Cana, Media Luna is on another level of beauty and serenity.

Located 3 miles (5 km) off the coast in Samaná Bay, Media Luna is a half-moon shaped reef that rises from the ocean to create shallow, turquoise lagoons in the middle of the sea. Imagine stepping out of your boat into waist-deep water, surrounded by mountains, starfish, and endless Caribbean blue. That’s Media Luna. And now, you can book this adventure directly with us.

The Experience

Your day begins with comfortable round-trip transportation from your hotel in Punta Cana or Miches. After a scenic drive to the coast, you’ll board a motorboat for a 15–20 minute ride across Samaná Bay.

The journey is part of the magic — you’ll see the Oriental Mountain Range rising to the south, the distant Samaná Peninsula to the north, and watch as deep blue waters shift into crystal-clear turquoise.

As the boat approaches, you’ll spot natural lagoons dotting the reef like a hidden oasis. This is Media Luna — a half-moon shaped paradise that feels worlds away from the crowds.

Once there, it’s time to jump in and explore. Swim, float, or simply stand in the shallow waters, taking in the panoramic views. Keep an eye out for lazy starfish resting on the sandy bottom — they’re a favorite photo opportunity for visitors.
