Ideal excursion to disconnect

We needed a day away from the noise and found him on this excursion. The tranquility of the island, the clarity of the water and the breeze made us forget the stress of the city. In addition, organized activities (snorkeling and boating) were fun and safe. We came back relaxed, with amazing photos and wanting to recommend it to friends and family.

Caribbean paradise with a taste of adventure

Our excursion to Saône Island was simply unforgettable. From the hotel transfer everything was very well organized: the van arrived at the right time, the guide was friendly and spoke perfect Spanish. Then the boat ride to the island was fun: the sun, the wind, the turquoise water feels like something out of a postcard. When we arrived, the white sandy beach and the almost transparent sea left us amazed. We had time to relax lying under a palm tree, swim with the water up to our waists and just disconnect. The Dominican buffet lunch was included and, although simple, it was tasty. The return, already with the sun's rays dropping, was as magical as the arrival. Undoubtedly, one of the best activities of our vacation.

Small details to improve but highly recommended

The experience was generally excellent, although at peak times the buffet filled up quickly and queues were necessary. I would also have appreciated more umbrellas on the beach for those of us looking for constant shade. Still, the cleanliness, music and organization compensated for those details. Recommended with small improvements.

Excellent for snorkeling and marine life lovers

Although not a professional diving tour, we had the opportunity to snorkel in areas with nearby reef and saw interesting colorful fish and backgrounds. The snorkeling equipment was in good condition and the staff gave clear instructions for beginners. If you are interested in marine life, wear a mask and biodegradable protector to take care of the environment. It was one of the highlights of the day.

A magical day in Saône, exceeded my expectations

From the on-time pick-up at our hotel to the return at sunset, everything was spotless. The boat trip allowed us to see amazing beaches and the guide told us local stories that made the journey entertaining. The natural pool with its transparent waters and starfish was spectacular; ideal for photos and for children to splash around safely. The Buffet Lunch offered hearty and tasty options, and the Open Bar maintained the Festive Mood. Recommended for those looking for a hassle-free beach getaway

Getting to the beach was like a postcard

Getting to the beach was like walking into a postcard: white sand, turquoise water and palm trees. The logistics worked wonderfully — comfortable transportation, safe vessels and caring staff — making the most of the day. The boat’s bartender played pleasant music and the drinks were served quickly; the Mood was relaxed but well organized. We took amazing photos and the time on the island was enough to rest, explore and relax without hurry.
