I waited at the correct pickup spot from 5:50am till 6:45am Nobody showed up for the pickup There was another group that was heading out to Saola, their driver did come and verified and looked for their customers. No-one came and checked and looked for me. The trip never took place and more I was never reimbursed for it. They took my money and never returned it.

Great , fun, and clean. Food was good and healthy I like the way everyone worked as team ro male our experience better. Because of all the boat transfers they would had let us more time at the natural pool. I wished I knew.
Engode, deception. Do not come to this tour, at least not with the Bayhaside Tour. You are at their mercy. There's no unlimited drink , no beer is served on the boat , just a horrible rum with Pepsi . Arrives on the island the “lunch” is released to start at a certain time, i.e., giant queues, since it was not only the people of our boat.No beers. The boat is slow.You stay only 1h30 on the island. The stop in the “natural pools” is unique and exclusive for photographers to try to capture as many people as possible.
The natural pool with the starfish was the best part of our trip for me. The reason I gave this review 4 out of 5 stars is because I fell down the stairs of our double decked boat on the way out to Isla Saona- very disappointing lack of non slip tape on the stairs and then on another boat we transferred to on the way back- exactly the same reason. In addition to my pride being hurt, I am now the proud owner of some very nasty bruises from both falls.
Awesome trip, had a great time. The island is super beautiful and dreamy. Had some great food there as well. And open bar on the boat
First, I'll give you the good: the tour guides, boat crews, photographers, and other staff were amazing! The trip itself was a ton of fun and the stops were gorgeous! The food at the island was really good and there was plenty to go around. Now for the negative: the people in the office were awful. They called the day before and gave me a DIFFERENT meeting time and place than was in the ticket. We were staying in Juan Dolio and had arranged transportation to the meeting place in the ticket but I was told that if we weren't at the new meeting place by 6 am we would be left behind. I change our transportation and we arrived as instructed only to find out that they didn't even have our party of 7 on the list! Luckily the tour guide worked it out, but we didn't even end up leaving for another 45 minutes after our arrival. To add insult to injury, the drive went right past where we were staying and made an additional stop between our resort and where we met the boat. The office could have saved us over 2 hours by giving us the option to meet the bus at that stop. All in all, I would book again but now I know!
The Bayahibe sandbank (natural pool) was impressive and the beach on SAONA Island was phenomenal! The beach buffet service was very good!
I really enjoyed my day on this tour. The meeting point was at the park at 6:10 am, but some people were late. We left at 6:30 am. There were two stops where we picked up people. In general, the bus journey took about 2 hours, maybe a little less. Afterwards, we were put on a large boat and paradise began. There were free drinks and music playing on board. The first stop was at the lagoon, we swam and enjoyed the beautiful views. The Island itself is beautiful, the water is sky blue. There was lunch on the island and also free drinks (we drank rum🤪). We spent 4 hours on the island. We drove back tired but happy. Lots of beautiful photos and videos. I recommend. My rating is 4.9.
I had a great time traveling solo, and met a lot of fun people. Island was beyond beautiful, water was crystal blue/green and clean. Ride was amazing, easy and fun throughout the whole experience. Staff on the boat was great, guide was amazing and everything was very well organized! I recommend 100%, and would do it again…
Great experience from start to finish, we met up our guide and group at a park nearby and drove to a half way point. The ride was safe and a/c was great. The food at the rest stop was not great but worked to keep us going, and we got snacks for the road. We got on the boat and stopped again to swim in the “natural pool” which was refreshing. We boarded the boat again and arrived on the island, food was buffet style so not the best but not a big deal. Everyone was having fun, on the way back we got caught in a storm but everyone kept dancing. The staff from the boat, the island and the tour guide were all so nice. At no point did it feel overly pushy to buy anything or to tip like other reviews commonly mention. Overall I had fun it was a memorable experience.
