I really always wanted to meet Saona, plus I never thought photographer Dani Frigeri would make us the More amazing experience than it was, a good photography professional and knowledgeable area, excellent experience, highly recommended 🫶🏻❤️
My second time in Saona and such a beautiful experience with people who love and care for the sea. Dani was the best photographer
Excellent excursion, from the first minute we knew we were with people who like what they do. The most beautiful beaches we've ever seen.
My husband and I had a lot of fun seeing all of the fish, star fish and sing rays in the water! I would highly recommend this excursion.
Amazing experience of the Caribbean water, white/pink sands and the island wibes…! A must do activity if you are in punta Cana. Would suggest to take a private/small group as the service is much better and Nelly has nailed that experience for the guests. You get to go in a speed boat once you are at bayside. They allow a max of 14 guests and food served was hot and fresh. The icing on the top was the natural pool with the ability to touch/ view plenty of starfish’s. Don’t miss it if you have young kids who like sand and beach.
We had an amazing time with Nelly, she showed us the beautiful sights of Saona and its wildlife, she was very knowledgeable and you could tell she really respected the environment and wildlife! I wouldn’t hesitate to book another trip with her, thank you so much, muchos gracias
Very nice day with Nelly from Latika Tours to discover the wonderful Island of Saona 🤩. We were very well received and taken care of from our hotel in Bayahibe and the excursion was really good because we were able to land almost 1 hour on the most beautiful beach of the Island (Playa Del Torro), visit the mangroves, the small village typical of Mano Juan where we enjoyed a nice Dominican meal. We were also able to admire the fish 🐠 and corals thanks to a stop dedicated to Snorkeling. The last stop in the natural pool was simply magical 😎🤩. These small group tours are really great because we feel really privileged unlike other companies that offer limited tours and with lots of people. In addition, Nelly who is Dominican knows the Island very well and therefore she gives us a lot of very interesting information. We felt considered hosts and not tourists, which is very pleasant. We highly recommend this tour and the services of Nelly (Latika Tours)
This tour was wonderful. My family didn’t want to pay for a private tour but also didn’t want the chaos of a cruise with 40+ people. This tour was perfect, host was super attentive and quick to respond to all our questions. The itinerary was wonderful. The beaches they take us to are not crowded and beautiful. Lunch was great. I literally have no negative things to say!
A wonderful excursion! Everything was perfect: top organization, super attentive guide and very kind. We have great memories of it.
Hi! Excellent tour, Nelly is very friendly and attentive. The places visited were very nice, without many people and had an amazing time. We had enough time to take pictures and make videos with our drone, the transport was only with two more couples so we didn't delay anything in arriving. We also got to know beautiful beaches and lunch was fine. 100% recommended.
Muchísimas gracias por tomarte el tiempo de dejarnos un comentario, además tuviste el detalle de enviarme los videos con tu dron!! y por esto estoy inmensamente agradecida, esperamos verte de vuelta!
