Saona Island : Heldagstur i Katamaran - liten grupp





Beskrivning
Upptäck Saona Island, en naturlig juvel i Dominikanska republiken, känd för sina vita sandstränder, turkost vatten och oändliga palmer, endast tillgänglig med båt, långt från massturism. Ge dig ut på en trevlig dagsutflykt i liten grupp, tillsammans med en Engelska talande Guide. Vi går ombord på katamaran segelbåt runt 09:00 och sedan gå till snorkling plats Catuano, där du kommer att upptäcka en hel del tropiska fiskar, där du kommer att åtföljas av vår Guide Quetzal, certifierad dykinstruktör! Efter snorkling kommer vi att njuta av en av de vackraste, turkos-vatten, vit sandstrand i Dominikanska republiken i 3 timmar. På denna bevarade plats, långt från folkmassorna, serveras en enkel men god måltid direkt på stranden, i en varm och avslappnad atmosfär, med fötterna i sanden. Sedan beger vi oss till den naturliga poolen Las Palmillas, är en magisk avskild plats med det klaraste av vatten där du kan se sjöstjärnor.

Fantastic family excursion to Isla Saona. We had a blast. The crew was amazing, helpful, and knowledgeable. Entire tour was well-organized - and the areas we visited were absolutely stunning. Lunch was great too. Highly recommend!

We just came back from Punta Cana. We chose Quetzal excursions for a catamaran excursion of Saona Island because of all the great reviews. They were right. Charlotte and the crew were fantastic. From the taxi , to the water taxis to and from the catamaran, everything was smooth and organized. They did not overcrowd us, took us to beautiful locations to snorkel and see starfish. It was relaxing and fun. And on top of it they served us a delicious lunch. Thank you for a great day!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that your day with Quetzal Excursions exceeded your expectations. It’s great to hear that Charlotte and the crew made everything smooth, from transportation to the catamaran, and that you enjoyed snorkeling, seeing starfish, and the beautiful locations. We’re also glad you enjoyed the lunch and the relaxed, fun atmosphere. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and it was a true pleasure having you on board. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable day in the future! 🌴🐠
Small boat excursion (no loud music, departure on time, etc.). We were one of the first ones on the island (which allowed us to enjoy it peacefully). The only nit is that you have to disembark the boat via a small boat, which adds more to the transport time (about 30 min each time).
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, timely departure, and being among the first on the island. We appreciate your note about the small boat transfers, and we always aim to make them as smooth and comfortable as possible. It was a pleasure having you on board! 🌴
This is not the first time we have used this company. What an organization is always at the top with a taxi bus that picks us up from our hotel in Puntacana and takes us to the departure place of the Excursions. In small group, super nice with a very well organized accompanying team.. very friendly. Thank you so much.🙏
Merci beaucoup pour votre fidélité et votre gentil message ! Nous sommes ravis que l’organisation, le petit groupe et l’accueil de notre équipe vous aient plu. Vos mots nous touchent énormément. Ce fut un plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau et nous espérons vous revoir très bientôt pour une nouvelle excursion ! 🌴
This place was beautiful but so not worth it for the travel, be prepared to transfer from van to van to bus and then sit and wait for 30 mins or more for other groups, once you get on the water it’s a nice enough ride and the views are stunning but the food is bad (pasta was mushy, everything under-seasoned) and the journey back is long, you have to transfer between boats and end up having to sit and wait for up to an hour, it ended up being a 13.5 hr day for us with most of it being travel and wait time. The last time we ate was around noon and we didn’t have access to more food until almost 10pm. I never write reviews but this trip was pretty brutal, we were exhausted and starving by the end of it.
The experience described in your review does not match our excursions in any way. The schedules, the stated duration (13.5 hours), the multiple vehicle and boat transfers, long waiting times, and the meal arrangements you mention are not part of our services. After checking our schedules and group records, no excursion operated by our team corresponds to this description. We therefore do not recognize this experience as one of ours. Without specific and verifiable details (date, excursion name, booking reference), this review cannot be linked to our company and appears to relate to another provider. We invite you to verify the organizer of your excursion or contact us directly with accurate information. Quetzal excursions team
We had a fantastic day with Charlotte, Valentin and all the crew who all worked so hard to ensure we had a great day and were all looked after. I searched for a while before finding this operator to Saona island. We wanted to avoid a ‘party boat’ type of experience and a smaller group trip, which this was exactly. We saw some great spots, quieter locations and everything was run smoothly and explained very well in numerous languages. They offered all sorts of drinks, snacks, refreshments and a nice bbq lunch which was all delicious. Thoroughly recommend if you’re a couple or a small group looking for a more relaxed experience. Thank you for a great day!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the day with Charlotte, Valentin and the crew. It’s great to hear that everything felt smooth and well explained. We’d be very happy to welcome you again on a future visit!
It was a wonderful experience, everything was impeccably organized, starting from the collection from the hotel in the morning with exact indications of time and place, until the return back to the hotel, I recommend it to anyone, I would only say that it would be desirable that the stops on the island and at the natural pool were longer. I give you 5 stars with congratulations.
Thank you so much for your 5-star review and kind words! We’re delighted you enjoyed the organization and smooth experience from start to finish, and we truly appreciate your suggestion about longer stops — we’ll keep it in mind to make future trips even better!
An outstanding excursion!! We passed so many packed boats and this group ensures that the catamaran isn’t crowded. This was one of our top favorite parts of our vacation. Highly recommend! Shout out to Charlotte and the crew for making this excursion so memorable.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that this excursion was one of the highlights of your vacation. Keeping the group small and the catamaran spacious is something we truly value — it makes all the difference for a relaxing and personal experience at sea. Charlotte and the crew will be thrilled to know they helped make your day so memorable. Thank you for recommending us so warmly — we hope to welcome you back on board soon! Warm regards, Quetzal Team
Amazing experience!! I spent so much time looking at reviews for this experience and I was so discouraged. So many had really scary reviews of horrible stories with other companies. I almost didn’t book this, but decided to give it a chance because it had good reviews. I’m so glad I did!! Our group was small, they didn’t blast music and didn’t stuff a hundred people on the boat. The catamaran was luxurious, they kept us fed and provided water and drinks, gave us ample time at the beach. They let the group decide what options we had (we all decided we wanted more beach time rather than swimming in the ocean). The beach itself was magical. So clean, clear blue water, and the group organizers offered to go get pina coladas for us. Some folks walked by to sell us souvenirs. Make sure you negotiate!! :) Anyway, I almost didn’t want to write this review because I don’t want too many people to know lol. Anyway, great company.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We completely understand your hesitation — there are many tours out there, and it means a lot that you chose to trust us. We're so glad you enjoyed the day, the peaceful atmosphere, the comfort of the catamaran, and the flexibility we offer to let the group shape the day’s rhythm. Your kind words are truly appreciated by the whole team. And don’t worry — we’ll keep your secret safe (well, mostly 😉). We'd be thrilled to welcome you back anytime for another magical escape to Saona! Warm regards, Quetzal Tam
We had an incredible experience from start to finish everything was smooth and organized, and the staff treated us like VIPs. The boat crew was amazing, fun, friendly, and made the ride even more enjoyable. The island was absolutely stunning, and the food was delicious. Paying extra to avoid the crowds was worth every penny. My boys (10 & 12) had a blast, and we all enjoyed the full-day excursion. If you’re headed to Saona, book with this group highly recommend!
Thank you so much for this amazing review! We’re thrilled to know the whole family had such a great time and that the experience lived up to your expectations. It means a lot to us that you appreciated both the crew and the atmosphere on board. We hope to see you again for another unforgettable adventure! Quetzal team
