We had an amazing time on our Saona Island trip! It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The trip does take the entire day, so plan to be out all day, but it was absolutely worth it. The beach was beautiful with clear water, and the different stops along the way made the day even more enjoyable. Our tour guide, Jon, was very helpful, friendly, and made sure everyone had a great experience. I highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting the Dominican Republic. Just keep in mind that it is a long day with multiple stops, but the memories and experience are well worth it!

Great and well organized experience! Was iffy on whether to go but definitely glad we did. Our guide Janice was great. Photo package seller was a little pushy though.

Amazing experience, just bring money for tips because everyone was asking for tips. Hotel pickup was fast and on time.
Hello, thank you for your review, we hope see you next time.
Book the excursion which stated trip and pickup. Contacted the tour company a week before to try and get my pickup confirmation only to be told I would receive it 24 hrs before. Received my pickup confirmation which stated I'd have to make my own way to the meeting point. Cost an extra 20 dollars in a taxi, was told we would be met at 9.30, had several other tour operators constantly phone our operator as at 10 am there was still no sign of them. Eventually someone found us and took us to the rest of the group. The guys on the speed boat couldn't do enough for you so that part was great. Got to Soana Island and to say was underwhelmed is putting it mildly. Buffet was basic and only drink available without paying a lot extra was water, coke cola or Rum and Coke. WiFi was available but at a cost of $5 per person. To say the island was packed is putting it mildly. Then to top it off we were supposed to return on a Catamaran but was put on a large cruiser. Would I recommend this. Only if you want to be ripped off. Oh forgot to mention being pressured to provide a large tip at the end on our way back.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the speedboat crew and that this part of the experience met your expectations. Regarding your other comments, the pickup locations are clearly indicated on the booking platform before the reservation is confirmed. Pickup availability depends on the area where guests are staying. As for the internet, Saona Island is a natural area with limited mobile coverage. This is a water-based excursion, and we recommend enjoying the experience without relying on your phone. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving our services.
Very disappointed… climbing from one boat to another I broke my toe… never said anything about moving from one boat to the next several times!
We are very sorry to hear about your injury and regret that your experience did not meet your expectations. Safety is very important to us, and transfers between boats are part of the logistics of certain excursions depending on sea and docking conditions. This information is normally provided in the tour description, but we apologize if it was not clear in your case or if you felt unprepared for it. We hope you are recovering well and sincerely wish you a speedy recovery. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve communication and guest experience in the future.
The transportation was smooth, well-organized, and the staff were friendly throughout the trip. The highlight of the excursion was definitely the pool in the middle of the ocean, which was a unique and enjoyable experience. However, I would not highly recommend this tour due to concerns about cleanliness. The washrooms on the island were extremely dirty and unpleasant to use. Additionally, the lunch buffet was not individually portioned, requiring guests to serve themselves. I observed some tourists handling food in ways that did not appear hygienic. Unfortunately, I developed diarrhea after visiting Saona Island, which negatively impacted my overall experience.

At the same time, we are very sorry to learn about the issues you encountered regarding the cleanliness of the island facilities and your concerns about the buffet service. We sincerely appreciate your feedback, as it helps us identify areas where improvements can be made.
