The experience was good, but in my opinion, there was a lack of better coordination with the guides, and I think that the stay on the island is very short, only 2 hours, with more time spent on transportation.
It is a complete tourist trap. It took us over 4 hours by van and boat to get to the island... the narrative should have said that as I would never had booked. The tour company made us stop at a horrible store to buy crap. The boat going had no bathroom. The boat coming back had a toilet that did not flush and with no running water in the sink. The island had absolutely no running water and you had to wash your hands in a bucket in which everyone else was using. The food was absolutely mortifying and there was no drinking water to buy. The unsanitary conditions cause my entire party of 6 to become sick with GI issues since last night upon our return. It was 10 compete wasted hours, and I would never recommend this tour company to my worst enemy. Very disappointed in Viator for even listing this horrible travel experience on your website. I personally will be looking for another tourist sight to book future travel experiences as clearly Viator can not be trusted on their recommendations. Very disappointed in Viator as I have used this on over 4 continents in the past 5 years.
This is not a paradise island. The boat trip there is nice. The stop off to swim is a nice spot but you are not allowed on shore . You arrive at another beach which has a load of very worn out sun loungers, and huts with what turns into a Buffett. If you want a day out of your resort go for it. But have low expectations, it is not a paradise island. The Buffett system is hectic, not enjoyable. The shore is crowded with boats. If you have a nice resort and beach I do not think this is worth it at all. The catamaran was great fun on the return. The best part of the trip with lovely music and dancing. Staff are nice - it’s just not the “paradise island” you are sold..
It was amazing from start to finish the food the views the drink 10s on 10s on 10s shot out to black banana him and his crew is the best
It’s much longer than expected so definitely bring water, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and put nothing else on your schedule for the day. Other than that it’s exactly what they advertise it to be and you should expect what they say.
Solicitors will haggle every 5 mins once on the “island”. Food is minimal and random . Boat ride back is “party boat” style.
Good afternoon! Description clearly says Catamaran boat’s party included.
Was great experience very well organized pick was on time can’t complain was well worth 110 cdn per person
Very unorganized, says 8-9 hours, you spend most of it traveling, only about 1.5 hours on the actual island. Crammed into everything like sardines, wet and on top of each other. Had to walk a quarter mile from where we were dropped off by provided transportation just to wait around. When it was time to leave they called everyone over and didn’t know what to do or where to boat was or the captain, spent the next 15 min standing as a group in the sun confused. If you only speak english, don’t expect them to translate instructions for you. Overall, beautiful island but nothing at all to do on it and felt very chaotic and a waste of money
It was a great experience. The people, the guide tours, the dancers, the beach, and the weather were the best. The food was good, but it needs the Dominican flavor. I 100 % reconmendanded
It was a very long day. Kinda of felt like part of a herd of cattle shuttled around from place to place and multiple vans. The beach was rather run down and too full of people. Nothing like the description. The catamaran was cool on the way back but I’m not of fan of watching a bunch of twerking so I could’ve done without the party part. I’d rather have just relaxed and enjoyed the view.
