this was a time! the boat on the way to the island was a vibe i didn’t like how you had to pay for food but the drinks are unlimited, the views are breath taking and it’s something you don’t wanna miss out on when traveling to the dominican republic! when you arrive at the island everyone is just living their lives and the water is so clear now the toilets on the island don’t work and they don’t have toilet seats so take that how you want lol
Horrible experience. The driver was late picking us up for the excursion. Then we got taken to a gas station and dropped off where we were told to get on another bus. It was a 2 hour ride to the boat. The boat ride is 2 hours long then you get to the island and only get an hour and a half to spend there. We then had another 2 hour boat ride back and another 2 hour bus ride where instead of taking us back to our hotels they took us to a flea market and we were left there. We had to go inside the store trying to find a ride home. Horrible experience and will NOT be recommending this experience to anyone else.
Only gave 4 stars because the driver charged me $60 to pick me up from dreams CapCana although the website shows that pick up was included.
The experience was good, but in my opinion, there was a lack of better coordination with the guides, and I think that the stay on the island is very short, only 2 hours, with more time spent on transportation.
Buenos días. Nos disculpamos por los inconvenientes que haya presentado. Seguimos trabajando para continuar mejorando. Gracias!!
It is a complete tourist trap. It took us over 4 hours by van and boat to get to the island... the narrative should have said that as I would never had booked. The tour company made us stop at a horrible store to buy crap. The boat going had no bathroom. The boat coming back had a toilet that did not flush and with no running water in the sink. The island had absolutely no running water and you had to wash your hands in a bucket in which everyone else was using. The food was absolutely mortifying and there was no drinking water to buy. The unsanitary conditions cause my entire party of 6 to become sick with GI issues since last night upon our return. It was 10 compete wasted hours, and I would never recommend this tour company to my worst enemy. Very disappointed in Viator for even listing this horrible travel experience on your website. I personally will be looking for another tourist sight to book future travel experiences as clearly Viator can not be trusted on their recommendations. Very disappointed in Viator as I have used this on over 4 continents in the past 5 years.
This is not a paradise island. The boat trip there is nice. The stop off to swim is a nice spot but you are not allowed on shore . You arrive at another beach which has a load of very worn out sun loungers, and huts with what turns into a Buffett. If you want a day out of your resort go for it. But have low expectations, it is not a paradise island. The Buffett system is hectic, not enjoyable. The shore is crowded with boats. If you have a nice resort and beach I do not think this is worth it at all. The catamaran was great fun on the return. The best part of the trip with lovely music and dancing. Staff are nice - it’s just not the “paradise island” you are sold..
It was amazing from start to finish the food the views the drink 10s on 10s on 10s shot out to black banana him and his crew is the best
It’s much longer than expected so definitely bring water, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and put nothing else on your schedule for the day. Other than that it’s exactly what they advertise it to be and you should expect what they say.
Solicitors will haggle every 5 mins once on the “island”. Food is minimal and random . Boat ride back is “party boat” style.
Good afternoon! Description clearly says Catamaran boat’s party included.
Was great experience very well organized pick was on time can’t complain was well worth 110 cdn per person
