We highly recommend this tour!! - The excursion was beautiful and amazing. It was raining the day of the tour, we took the catamaran and in our was it was raining but still we have fun and the staff provides with drinks and food, music and show which was super fun. We stop in a natural pool, we were there around 30 minutes and then we continue to the Saona Beach, which was beautiful. On the beach, they gave us food and drinks and the food was great. We stay in the beach the entire day and around 3:30 we start packing and the rain came back. we took the speedboat, it was raining hard, but we arrived save.

Heavenly Saona Island Day! - Buses brought people from multiple resorts and we met great people from all over the world. We took speed boat to island. Had a great meal. Staff members did a great job of keeping track of everyone and explaining details. We had a couples session with a photographer which was great fun. Partied on catamaran in return from island. Bus took us back to our resort. An absolutely WONDERFUL experience!

Great family activity - We are a family of 4 and went with our friends who are a family of 5. All kids under 8. The day was long but well worth it. We were picked up at 7:30 am and we were brought back to our hotel at 7 pm. We were picked up at our resort and took a bus ride to a meeting area where we went on another bus that was approx 2 hrs all together from Punta Cana. The catamaran is 1 h 45 min and then you have 30 min in the natural pool to swim. The whole time at Saona is 2 hrs and then a motor boat back + another 2 hr bus ride approx back.... Its a long day and they should make this all very clear. I would suggest if going with young kids to bring snacks as you won't be eating till lunch. I also suggest bringing some coloring, or activities as the catamaran is fun but it is long for kids. Saona is stunning and the beach is breathtaking. All in all it was a fabulous day.

Not what was expected - Not like my other two excursions to Saona Island. It is is beautiful over there but no one was playing games. It was like eat, drink and rest. Very laid back. We did not go by speedboat like we were told. I knew it was difficult for those with mobility issues, but out of everyone, I had trouble cause I am only 4'11 and my legs were too short to get into boat or cross to another boat. I cannot sit in a lounge chair but rather a regular beach chair. I found one on Island and got chased out by another group. I think allowances should be made for those with slight disabilities, after all why should those people be discriminated against and miss out on a beautiful experience.

Not what we expected but ok - The trip itself is good but it's a long day. When I booked our trip my confirmation said pick up was 8am when I then Whatsapp the tour operator they said pick up was 7am and at the main security gate and not at the hotel reception. If I had not of asked we would of missed out trip. The trip says 7-8 hrs this is not correct we were gone 13 hrs so it's a long day and we missed our dinner reservations. When you get picked up from your hotel they then take you all to a gas station to get on a bigger bus. The speedboat to the island was fine and a stop on the way. Until lunch time no food is available this is a long time without food if like us we missed breakfast as the early departure. Lunch was very nice and the island is stunning but we thought we would be able snorkel however it's not possible. The trip back was nice and a good atmosphere. Overall it's nice but I wouldnt go again for the price.

Poor - Firstly, the island is absolutely lovely and is a must see. I wouldn’t recommend this for any non-Spanish speakers. The guide spent 99% of the time speaking in Spanish, so I couldn’t understand anything that was happening. The catamaran ride, although lovely, was very uncomfortable, as there was no seating, so you had to sit on the floor.

They have no brains. - I had scheduled the same excursion several days before. They canceled one day before because of presidential elections. Weak. I scheduled the same island trip with you for the same day. We were waiting for a pickup that never came. We finally called the number provided. Out of dozens of vendors, you gave the same vendor that canceled us before, only this time they accepted our reservation and money but did not bother to cancel.

Very disapointing - Saona Island is beautiful, but not worth the time and aggravation. We were picked up at 8am and did not get to the island until about 1:30, with a 3:20 departure. No time to really explore or enjoy. Food subpar. I would take an excursion to the sand bar near Punta Cana instead.
