Best punta cana excursion

This was one of the best excursions to Saona Island. The people on the catamaran kept us entertained on the return trip, but the best part was that Saona Island is beautiful, and the crew was very friendly.However, I recommend this excursion for young people or adults, not for very young babies, as the journey is very long and can be tiring for a baby.

The paradise of the Dominican Republic

I have done some excursions to Saona Island, but for some reason, I liked it more this time. I think the day was beautiful, a sunny day, turquoise water, and a perfect atmosphere. The Dominican Republic has many paradises, and Saona Island is one of them. My recommendation is to travel in the low tourist season to avoid crowds of tourists.

Beautiful island

Saona Island is simply beautiful; the trip is long, but in the end, it is worth it since the view surprised me. However, not everything is perfect; I would say they should improve the volume of the music. If you go with your kids, it would be best to try to take a private tour by contacting the supplier directly, as the shared tour is fun but seems more geared towards adults and young people.

Not worth it

The guide was terrible. Almost all guests shared this opinion. He spoke incessantly throughout the entire bus ride. It was very annoying as he kept repeating himself. The island itself was littered in some places, and the algae problem was very significant. The beach was no better than the one at our hotel. The food was okay. The only highlight was the return trip on the catamaran. The boat was quite worn out, but the crew was super nice and created a great atmosphere.

vielen Dank, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, Ihr Feedback zu unserem Ausflug zur Insel Saona zu teilen. Wir nehmen die Meinungen unserer Kunden sehr ernst, um unseren Service kontinuierlich zu verbessern. Es tut uns leid, dass der Reiseleiter nicht Ihren Erwartungen entsprochen hat. Bezüglich der Algen (Sargassum) am Strand möchten wir höflich anmerken, dass es sich hierbei um ein natürliches und unvorhersehbares Phänomen handelt, das die gesamte Karibik betrifft. Leider haben wir darauf keinen Einfluss, obwohl vor Ort ständig versucht wird, die Strände sauber zu halten. Wir möchten jedoch zu bedenken geben, dass unser Standard-Ausflug für 79 USD ein sehr umfassendes und preiswertes Paket bietet. In diesem Preis sind bereits der Hoteltransfer (Hin- und Rückfahrt), die Fahrt mit dem Schnellboot, die Rückfahrt mit dem Katamaran sowie das Mittagessen und Getränke inbegriffen. Da es sich hierbei um eine reguläre Gruppentour handelt, ist das Erlebnis sehr dynamisch. Wenn Kunden ein exklusiveres, ruhigeres und komplett personalisiertes Erlebnis suchen, empfehlen wir immer die Buchung unserer privaten Saona-Touren, bei denen der Ablauf ganz nach Ihren Wünschen gestaltet wird. Es freut uns sehr, dass die Crew auf dem Katamaran und die Rückfahrt das Highlight Ihres Tages waren – wir werden Ihr Lob gerne an das Team weitergeben. Ihre Anmerkungen zum Guide nehmen wir intern auf, um die Qualität unseres Services weiter zu optimieren.

I can say that considering the price, which includes transportation, food, drinks, speedboat, and catamaran, it's the best value for money option for Saona Island.

Most relaxing day of vacation. Saona Island is a very beautiful place. Clean and preserved beaches. Views are amazing. Booked with Eddy from Cuban Classic Car Tours by Eddy. This was a private tour that I highly recommend as you don't have a hard timeline. Very flexible options depending on your preferences. Safe Travels!
