Highly Recommend for Friend Groups - Went on trip with a few guy friends and had a blast! Trip comes with amazing views, a trip to a natural pool, and Saona Island of course. Our guide was Benjamin, super welcoming and hospitable. They made our way to the island on the catamaran our favorite experience, a boat ride with drinks, dancing, and fun atmosphere. Recommend to all groups!

Saône - September 2024 - Barry was very precise with the pick up time of the hotels and also the transportation to the boarding area was very tidy
Guide Alex was very friendly and helpful to the whole group.
Saona beach is very paradise and very clean. A wonderful place that would come back and I consider I would take the tour with them again.
The food was good but I would have liked more salad and fruit options.

Good experience - The workers on the boat are amazing, you stop at a natural pool on the way to Saona Island, you have alot of fun while on the boat. Once you arrive to Saona Island, you will walk to the other side where you will spend your time on the island. You are received with a serve yourself buffet, open bar, piña coladas and fresh coconuts which you can purchase. The only thing which made me give 4 stars was that the water/waves at the beach were strong, and was basically difficult to have a nice swim which was my my main thought on going there in the first place, to enjoy a nice swim at the beautiful beach but that wasn’t the case.

Saona Island sensational. - The places visited were wonderful. Beautiful natural pool, the island of Saona is a paradise, the lunch is good and the catamaran return was quite fun.
I just did not score 10 because the bus that makes the transfer from Punta Cana to the harbour is pretty uncomfortable.
I recommend you excursion.

Saona magic! - Beautiful scenery and it was awesome. Going there on a speed boat and then a catamaran. Very fun time with friends in the beautiful beaches of Dominican Republic Punta Cana. Wish there was some wine though - it was mostly rum if that’s your sort of thing.

BEAUTIFUL island - limited bar and photography - Such a fun day trip to a beautiful island. Transportation to Bayahibe (where the boats were) was smooth. It was 1.5 hours each way from Secrets Cap Cana (a little over 3 hours round trip of just driving). Juan and Alex were a fantastic driver-tour guide duo - highly recommend them both! We then took a speed boat to a sandbar area. Rum and Sprite or Coke were provided when we got to this area. We were at the sand bar for 45 minutes before going to the island for around 2 hours. It was so beautiful, the water was perfect, the food was delicious, and there was a net and ball for beach volleyball. We took the trip back to Bayahibe on a Catamaran with fun music and dancing. Gave 3 stars because the drinks only consisted of rum and soda, and beer once we got to the island, though the trip title includes "Open Bar." There are also photographers there to take photos which could be airdropped to guests for a cost. Photo costs are only discussed verbally between photographers and guests, and prices were different across photographers, but negotiable. Initial cost was $10 per photo. Not sure where the pricing for photos came from, but there are some inconsistencies that made us hesitate.

Don’t ruin your vacation - Spend 9 hours on a bus. They bring you to a tacky store with fake cigars and cheap souvenirs. The beach was full of rocks. Don’t waste an entire day on this awful tour.
