Real review.

Friendly. Decent amount of buffet variety. More modernized for resort goers. Still good. Piña colada in a pineapple 10$ Speed boat ride was my favorite but if you like luxury not the best for u. Crew always helpful with pictures and questions and entertaining. GENEROUS with their alcohol. Real review for once.

A Perfect Day in Paradise!

This excursion was one of the highlights of our trip to Punta Cana. Saona Island is absolutely breathtaking, with crystal-clear water, white sandy beaches, and stunning tropical scenery. The catamaran party was so much fun, with great music, drinks, and an energetic crew that kept everyone entertained. The natural pool stop was amazing, and the entire day was well organized from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable Caribbean experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Worth Every Minute of the Trip!

Had an incredible time on this excursion. From the beautiful beaches of Saona Island to the fun catamaran ride, everything exceeded expectations. The crew was friendly, the atmosphere was lively, and the views were unforgettable. A great way to spend a day in Punta Cana.

Beautiful experience but a bit of an annoyance

They pick you up from your hotel and then pick up other participants from other resorts. You stop at a souvenir shop for 10 minutes. They take you to a place where the ships are. Locals try to sell you cigars/phone cases. You take a speed boat to the island. The speed boat made my stomach turn. We stopped at a sand bar for 35 minutes. You are given Coca Cola and rum. Then it’s off to the island. The island was beautiful. You spend about two hours there. There are locals there trying to sell jewelry and $100 massages. They are very persistent but if you give them a firm ‘no’ they tend to leave you alone. The food is buffet style and it’s about 6/10. The bathroom is ok. Requires a bucket to flush. Then you’re shuffled on a catamaran boat. Takes about 30 minutes to get back to where you started. You’re taken back to the bus. It’s an all day thing. The driver picked us up at 7am from the hotel and we didn’t return back until 6pm. It’s worth the money.

Dream island.

Saona is breathtakingly beautiful. However, the jewelry sellers are very annoying. You are constantly approached. There were very many tourists there during our visit. Unfortunately, the crew was a bit unenthusiastic. The atmosphere on the catamaran was not very good. It's a pity, I expected better.

Horrible Driver

I had Jensi as my driver - he was extremely unprofessional and rude. He ruined the entire experience for me. Make sure you pick a different driver !!! Or request someone else if you receive him. I was car sick and he was purposely slamming on the brakes , then proceeded to laugh about it with his coworker. Multiple times. 0/10 . Wasted money.

Operator response

Good afternoon! I’m apologize for driver behavior. He has been adminished already. We will continue working to improve every day! Sorry for the inconvenience.

Wasn’t feeling it

The bus ride is long it took over two hours to get to our destination. The people are great but there is so much going on. Hundreds of people getting off buses and hundreds of people getting food and be chartered from one boat to another boat. It’s A LOT. No mamjuana just rum and coke. I wished I couldve Just rebooked the catamaran tour i did the last time. We were drunk and enjoyed ourself. With this I just wanted to get home.

Operator response

Saona island is the most famous excursion in DR, obviously there will be a lot of people in catamaran, getting food etc. On the list doesn’t say mamajuana is included.

Flawless experience despite last minute hiccups

Even though the excursion had to be rescheduled to Saturday because of Good Friday , this experience was flawless despite that everybody from Friday most likely rescheduled to Saturday. 10/10 excursion

Attention Upper tourism

Excursion destination fantastic but totally crowded, mass tourism and mass handling!!! Partly the garbage is spread on the beach! The stay on the island is far too short. Stopover at gift shop and bath stop unnecessary.

Operator response

Guten Tag, wir werden das oben Genannte berücksichtigen. Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich für uns entschieden haben.
