プンタ カナ発、ランチとオープン バー付きのサオナ島日帰り旅行

Bravo, everything was great, it was incredibly fun, can only recommend it. P.S. I had to write this.

It was an amazing excursion! My friends and I had the best time. Everyone working for the company was so friendly and helpful. The travel is kind of like (90 minutes) but it was so worth it! By the end you’re tired so you just sleep the whole ride back and it’s great!

I am a person with reduced mobility; the tour guides arrived to pick me up at the agreed time, but the driver preferred to leave the location and did not help me get onto the transport, which I could not board in time because the man parked the car on a flooded street. Therefore, I had to wait for my son to help me get on, and no matter how much I asked the driver to wait, he preferred to leave and sent me a message to reschedule the tour. I had to pay for private transport to catch up with the tour. I found it to be a very rude act because the wait was 7 minutes. I do not recommend it for people with mobility difficulties. After the inconvenience, I was able to catch up with the tour, which was in line with its value, and I did it because I could not reschedule.

The experience was mostly COMMUTE! I got picked up at 6:40, had a 3 hour bus ride to the port (could be shorter but there were a lot of pickups along the way), then a 1.5 hour boat ride (you take pics and dance which was fun) to the natural pool which was BEAUTIFUL but it was mostly for pics. You have 30m to swim around in while the photographer takes pics. Then 30m more min boat ride for the Saona Island for some lunch that was not actually good (I am Dominican, so I KNOW good Dominican food). We started having lunch at 1:35 and had to leave at 3:30… so eating and swimming for 2 hours. Then a 1.5 hour boat ride and then another 3 hour bus ride. We left the island at 3:40ish in a speed boat, got to the port at 5 and didn’t get to our resort until 7:40pm. All of the commute was not worth the 2.5 hours of enjoyment if you can even call that enjoyable for my husband and I. Our resort food at excellence was good and our beach here BEAUTIFUL, we should have picked a different excursion or stayed back. But at least now we have this knowledge. This experience may have been slightly funner with a bigger group perhaps. Also they take professional pictures of you and then you have to pay them to airdrop it. He started at 150, we brought it down to 115ish. To me it was worth the price bc my husband and I need more pictures together but just so you know. They will put a Dominican cap on you in the catamaran … let you wear it for 5 min then come back and ask for 5 each. We gave it back and said no. Also on the lunch if you want pina colada not soda it will be $10 extra. Lots of extra charges.

It was a sensational experience they serve one very well, they give one the drink without any restrictions.

We visited the Saona Island yesterday and overall it turned out to be a very good experience, even though it wasn’t exactly what we expected. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to swim with the sea stars as planned, but we still saw many of them clearly from the boat, which was beautiful in its own way. Saona Island itself is truly stunning, with tall palm trees, soft white sand and the incredible turquoise color of the Caribbean Sea 🌊 The scenery alone makes the trip completely worth it and despite a few small disappointments, I’m glad we went and enjoyed the day 🏝️😎

The Island and natural park are beautiful BUT, the tour companies are BAD. Terrible logistic, large amount of people, too may boats to enjoy the view, open bar is just rum with Coke or Sprite. You arrive at Bajahibe and you have to wait for a small boat to taxi you to a large boat. 40 Minutes wait to get off the boat at the end of the day. Photos are a rip off....$100 for a package of photos. Vendors at Saona beach botherring your to make a purchase. It was a waste of a day and cash. Everyone wants a tip...the boat captiain, the tour guide, and the bus driver. I understand that this is how they make a living but please stop asking for cash for a while and let the peopel enjoy the day. The food was not bad but, not aout of this world. Do your research before booking a tour for Saona island and ask alot of questions regarding the size of the group you will be with. I would like to give it a minus 1 star if I could.

The trip was very confusing. There was little English translation and confussion. People were sent to the wrong boat causing major confusion and the uneasy feeling of being left. Then at the end the tour guide wanted a tip!! Wouldn't recommend this trip with Indiana Jones!!

This is a very long day, with as much time spent getting there, as on the excursion. The pickup point was not my resort, but with a quick message through WhatsApp, I was able to have our pickup rearranged. Michael was right on time. After being collected from our resorts on a smaller bus, we transferred to a larger bus at a central meeting point. It's a long time with no bathroom breaks, until you reach a souvenir market for a 20 minute stop. After that its another hour to Bayahibe to get on the speed boat. Persons who are unsteady on their feet will have difficulty boarding the speed boat from the water as waves are pushing and pulling. To get to the catamaran you must also be capable of crossing from the speed boat to the catamaran in the ocean. At times this was quite difficult due to waves Our time at the Natural pool was not as expected. It was more of a sandbar, not far from shore. There were no starfish there, but as we boated away, we saw several below us. The island was beautiful but crowded. The food was okay and drinks nothing special. Some people had a good time dancing on the catamaran trip back, while others just took in the views. On the way back, too much time was spent transferring passengers to other busses, based on where their resorts were. We were gone from 7am to 7pm. I would have enjoyed it more if I was staying at a resort in Bayahibe and not Punta Cana. Our driver and guide Mama Geris were both excellent.

There were so many things that went poorly. 1. We set the pick up for our hotel, they went to a different hotel and picked us up late. 2. You take a bus to get on another bus to get on a boat to literally get on another boat. 3. The excursion was oversold. Everyone was packed to the brim in every vehicle. 4. We got to the island and they promised a buffet. They ran out of food before we could get thru the line. People were literally fighting over plates and utensils. 5. By the time we got to the island we only had 2 hours to relax before getting on the 2 boats and 2 busses back. 6. The island had People walking around trying to sell you things (also they make a pit stop at a souvenir shop so you can spend more money and have less beach time) and they are persistent and don't leave you alone. The massage therapists kept touching us even after we told them NO. 7. It says all inclusive but the only option was rum and coke. This trip was definitely not what they advertised.
