Additional Information

Saona Island holds the title as the top and most frequented destination in the Dominican Republic, beckoning you for a taste of paradise. This excursion caters for groups of at least 6 travelers and can accommodate up to 15 travelers in a single booking, with your exclusive private minivan. Unlike the typical Saona trips that involve multi-hotel pickups and several hours bus-bound, this tour presents the opportunity to bypass these inconveniences. After we pick you up, we’ll chart a direct course to La Romana’s Bayahibe port, where a Speed Boat or Catamaran awaits to whizz you straight to Saona Island. Pickup times are scheduled based on your hotel’s location, and with your exclusive private minivan, you’ll have the privilege of averting at least 2-3 hours of bus wait times. Plus, you’ll enjoy a later morning pickup compared to the usual Saona Island tours.

  • Not recommended for elderly travelers

Friendly, Safe and Outstanding Service - Edwin picked us up from the Hilton for our return trip to Punta Cana airport. We were very happy to see he was also in a mask and to hear his vehicle had been sanitized for our ride. He was on time, connected with us before our departure day and got us to the airport on time and safely. WHEN we return to Punta, we will definitely request Edwin as our driver.

Excellent & Responsive Service! - Wonderful service! Especially from our driver Edwin, who picked us up on time with a clean van and encouraged the teenagers to connect their music through his Bluetooth so they could jam out. He made a couple of stops en route for snacks and drinks. The catamaran and speedboat were great and the staff were very entertaining and caring. Our kids scraped their hands on some rocks and they cleaned the cuts. Good times, caring and accommodating staff! Highly recommended!

Wonderful day - We had a beautiful day! Maximo was arranged to be our driver, though he did not speak English he had a translator on his phone and did the best he could do and was so friendly and very safe driver! He works long days for his family! We stopped at a little store along the way for shopping, bathroom or drink and snack! We meant with our tour guide who would provide beautiful photos for your family to enjoy at a great price I can’t remember how to pronounce his name correctly but we will call him ‘Yea Baby’ if you get him you will know why!!! We enjoyed empanadas at the stop and refreshments! Once left we got to the spot to get on Catamaran, we were greeted by ‘Big Sexy Black Banana’ who describes all we will expect!! We were taken to the catamaran and it was a beautiful ride and very enjoyable! They had entertainment and lots of drinks available! Once we got to Saona Island we go from catamaran to small boat to be taken to shore! We had a lovely almost three hours to enjoy the beautiful beach and unlimited drinks. The food was ok and they have plenty of it! The rum is endless!!! I love that the lounge chairs were included. The guides come by and check regularly if everything is ok! There are people trying to sell stuff so beware and they will put necklace right on your kids that is one complaint. I also recommend you bring your own hand sanitizer and Lysol wipes as the bathroom on island are questionable, but the lady is very attentive to them, bless her heart what a unappealing and I am sure unappreciative job she has. When we left the Island our boat had a couple little mechanical problems, it’s much more entertaining than anything and they all did a great job ensuring our safety and had someone help us quickly! We arrived to the Blue lagoon for a nice dip and more drinks and it was beautiful also!!! We had a fantastic day, it’s very well organized and the workers seem to enjoy their job despite the criticism I see they take off other people. Thank you guys for giving my family and I a beautiful memorable day!!!

Save your time and money - The best part was our private transportation back and forth! The island has gone down hill, the Buffet was horrible and the bar service was non existent. It was a money grab at every second of trip.
