The island is distinct from Saona despite both being reached by boat. La Romana’s tourism authority names Catalina for clear-water snorkeling and diving, so the day centers on the underwater environment rather than a long land walk. Choose the crossing when marine life and visibility matter more than a mainland beach stop.
