Private boat to Saona island from Punta Cana - Our private tour to Saona Island from Punta Cana was a dream. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, making the experience truly unforgettable. The boat ride to Saona was breathtaking, with crystal-clear turquoise waters and stunning coastal views. Being on a private tour, we had the flexibility to stop at secluded spots and enjoy the beauty without the crowds. The natural pool in the middle of the ocean, with its starfish and shallow waters, was a magical highlight. Once on the island, we had a private area to relax under the palm trees, away from the busier public beaches. The lunch provided was delicious. It’s the perfect way to explore this tropical paradise at your own pace.

Beautiful Yacht Adventure in Saona Island National Park - I booked this trip in December 2024, and it was the highlight of my vacation. The entire excursion was flawless, from the seamless pickup to the Caribbean yacht charter. Big kudos to Amelia for keeping us updated every step of the way, it made the whole process so smooth and stress-free. The Yacht we had was stunning - exactly as described - and the crew was incredibly welcoming and professional. Our host did an amazing job pointing out the great snorkeling spot and ensuring we were well taken care of throughout the day. We had the chance to explore the national park around Saona, swim in crystal-clear waters, and enjoy a delicious BBQ buffet on the island. Every moment was so memorable! I’ll definitely be recommending your services to my friends. Thank you for this unforgettable experience!

A day in Paradise we’ll never forget - Everything was thoughtfully planned, making it effortless for us to relax and enjoy. Our boat offered stunning views - it felt like out of a postcard. When we reached Saona Island, the beach was like everyone said: sand like powdered sugar, and the water so clear it felt unreal. The day ended with a visit to the natural pool - a serene, shallow lagoon where we had cool drinks (you have to try Rum with Sprite, called ‘Santo Libre’) and spotted starfish right next to our feed! Our host was nice and spoke fluent english and spanish what was very good when we were shopping fresh coconuts and piña colada on the island! If you’re after a worry-free escape from your all inclusive resort, this tour is it.

Amazing Day on Caribbean Sea Saona Island - What an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, everything was seamless and well-organized. Our host, was incredible — so friendly and knowledgeable, making sure we felt safe and comfortable the entire time. The transfer was smooth and on time, and with the private boat we had stunning views along the way. The highlight was definitely the pristine beach on Saona Island. We ended the day floating in the crystal-clear waters of the natural pool, sipping rum cocktails, and even spotting some starfish. The crew went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a private, hassle-free, and absolutely gorgeous day in paradise! Would 100% book again.

Fantastic and unforgettable !!!!! - Fantastic excursion and fantastic organization!!!! From the beginning, Miss Anna informed us in great detail, sympathy and kindness about this excursion and others, a fact that was decisive in hiring her, and she was watching us until the very moment we boarded the boat. Our Vasiliy Guide was amazing, cheerful, attentive, with great culture and knowledge of this whole area, fauna and culture. He didn’t tire of making us countless photos and videos, both with his Go Pro (also underwater), and with our mobile phones. We saw very large manta rays, which we could dive and see from very close up, we saw countless fish, we passed through an area of turtles, where we saw many. We strolled with the boat through a mangrove, bathed in authentically paradise beaches and enjoyed watching countless huge and beautiful starfish. Always trying not to match larger boats of tourists, which gave us a great advantage of intimacy and solitude in most of our visits. Captain Sr.Cuevas was the one who guided us and led us to these wonderful destinations, and made us feel very calm and safe under his command. Your assistant, Mr. Morano, also kept an eye on the boat and all of us at all times. In short, a unique and unforgettable day, which is already part of our most beautiful and fun memories. To the entire Dominican World team, simply, Thank you!!!!! See you soon. A hug.

Best Tour Ever! 🏝️ - This tour was worth every penny. If you want an exceptional experience at your own pace to Saona Island, book the private tour. We were able to get to Saona Island before all the catamarans and other boats arrived. The food was good as well. Our tour guide Vasiliy was AMAZING! 🤩 He was at our resort lobby on time waiting for us and even waited a few minutes while my family and I finished eating breakfast. He was very friendly, attentive & knowledgeable with the area. He took pictures of us while we soaked in every moment. He made sure we got photos snorkeling, on the beach and with the starfish. Exceptional experience overall! 🙌🏼

An unforgettable experience - It is definitely a beautiful island 🥰 the sea super calm, crystal clear, how bad it is quite salty and I recommend wearing water glasses and tb Aquashoes by the scab that although we touched little, it is better to prevent. We took the Saona VIP tour, which you know 3 beaches and we liked a lot, although perhaps the experience would be better if along the way they played music and gave water or drinks as the client wants and not only at certain times. If or if you must know this wonderful island and enjoy its landscapes full of palm trees and that delicious sea.
