“If you dreamed of a Caribbean paradise, you’ll find it right here on Catalina Island.”
Catalina Island or Serena Key as the grower lines are called in their programs is a beautiful white sand island near the southeastern coast of the Dominican Republic. It is itself a protected Natural Park where, of course, there is no building. Unknown to many travel agents and tourists, the beach is completely protected from the wind, that’s the reason why the sea is always in absolute calm.
This Catalina Island can be considered an ideal model of fun in the tropics, a kind of living design to handle an area dedicated to tourism while preserving much of the authentic nature. This small island, however, is astounding with its small dimensions that do not reach 15 square kilometers, of which one kilometer of beach has been used for the management of tourists who seek exclusively the fun under the sun taking advantage of perfectly elaborated sands, water of optimum temperature, Sea for all water sports, all the colors of the tropical universe and alternative insulation for a sublime communication with the environment.
Raccoons on Catalina Island
Catalina Island is the only place in the Dominican Republic where you can easily come face to face with raccoons and wild hares, subsisting in a habitat that they have already made theirs. They are considered exotic in this part of the planet. Although they are allowed to be photographed, they are kept at a safe distance from the tourist. They usually come out of the cambronales in the afternoons in search of food, after the visitors have left. Their instinct of conservation is admirable. They have the ability to detect the landing of the cruisers and immediately all go to the unloading area.

You can get your visa online or purchase it at the airport during check-in for your flight. If you are a US passport holder residing in the United States you can also purchase it from us. We ship only within the US. Note it will arrive blank for you to fill out with your passport information. This tourist card is valid for 90 days. Make sure you do not misplace it while in Cuba since you cannot leave the country without it, and please, do not detach the two separate sides. Customs in Cuba is responsible for this.
Cuba requires all visitors to have a travel medical insurance at the time of entry to the island to cover their entire stay. Most of the U.S. airlines that fly directly to Cuba give you the option of purchasing it at the moment of booking your flight ticket. SST assists its clients in the choice and purchase of the travel insurance plans if needed, limiting itself only to the assistance during the purchase and not to the implementation of said plans. Therefore, in case of unforeseen circumstances, you should contact your insurance company directly.

If you need more help filling out the form, check out our complete guide on how to fill out the D’Viajeros Travel Form.
If you are visiting the island and staying on your own, you will probably find that most of the private casas in Cuba do not have wi-fi service available, so guests usually go to the nearest hotels, buy an internet card and access the service in the hotel lobby. If this is too complicated for you, CUBACELTUR has the perfect solution. You can get a temporary phone line with internet access plans for an additional cost.
Note that CUBACELTUR is a service offered by ETECSA, the Cuban telephone operator. Sagua Services & Travel does not benefit from this operator. It only provides information for its clients.
