A TRIP YOU NEED TO DO - This trip is a must do! Staff are all fantastic could not do enough for you. We were picked up from our hotel and took a smaller coach which took around 20 mins to meet a larger coach, stopped off at a souvenir shop you don’t have to buy anything they had toilets and free coffee, we then arrived to the catamaran, staff made us drinks of rum and coke, music on encouraged people to have a dance and enjoy themselves. We stopped off at a small lagoon were we had a swim then we went to saona island which is out of this world yes there is people trying to sell you stuff but they don’t ruin it for you it’s paradise. Food at saona island was amazing and I am a very fussy eater, free drinks we had around 3 hours at the island which is enough, took the speed boat back. Myself and my partner never stopped smiling the whole trip. The staff explain everything to you and are really nice people. Would 100% recommend this trip

Fun- - The tour guy Papa Christian lol was good. He kept it fun, informative and was direct. I would say that the shops that you go to are expensive. Some of the items you can find when you arrive at the dock but have single bills (recommended) coming back was fun nobody wanted to dance but the girl dancer manage to get a group of people to dance (glad she did). Met a lot of cool people on this activity ✌🏻

Incredible day! - Great full day excursion with well timed brand and solo touring time planned in to allow you and your group explore. First stop at natural swimming area as incredible and island stop at as fantastic with open bar and buffet which catered for all needs. Tour guides through the full day were incredible. Weather conditions were not so good on the catamaran back to collection point however the tour guides/entertainers did an incredible job keeping spirits and atmosphere high. Would highly recommend!

Carlitos PC travel - I took the tour with expedían online before traveling to punta Cana . The staff very gently and organized but unfortunately they don’t offer any food during the trip , some people picked up from 6:30 am in prolonged fasting until 12:30 pm that they offer some food in the island . The food in the island average anything expectacular . Very short time in the pool and beach there , many hours in bus and catamaran just offering drink/music and fotos . Unfortunately for me was very frustrated.

Potential to be very nice, but doesn't make it there - I did a Saona Island trip. It was 12 hours total from pick up to drop off. I was 1st hotel picked up and last dropped off. Took one small bus to pick up from a few hotels. Then switched to another big bus with more people. Then went to souvenir shop. Then went to where we load boat to go to another boat to the natural pool. Spend 30 min there, very pretty and nice waist high water (long enough for photographers to take photos of the different groups). Then continue on to Saona Island for 2 hours and 15 minutes). The water and beach is beautiful and nice. Wear water shoes as there are lots of rocks in the water. Downsides... lots of mosquitos on 5 min walk from boat to beach (bring bug spray or buy for $15 at souvenir shop). Very aggressive sellers of souvenirs and massages on the beach unaffiliated with the excursion. The food left A LOT to be desired! Pork chop, fish or chicken, white rice or yellow rice and stewed eggplant. There was a salad area and fresh fruit area, but lots of flies everywhere. Beer was available on beach in addition to other things on catamaran. The photograph package is $150 to start for all photos. They will drop prices is you say no at 1st. You take catamaran one way and speedboat the other way. Catamaran has some shade and lots of sun. Dancing and lots of drinks (Rum, Coke, sprite and water only). Didn't time it but felt like a couple hours to get to Saona. It was hot!!! The speedboat was half the time, they make you wear life jackets and offer a couple drinks on the ride. The workers were all nice. It was a long day with only 2.5 hours in the water... would I do it again? NO!
