Amazing experience from start to finish! Everything was well organized, transportation was on time, and the staff were super friendly. Saona Island is absolutely beautiful and the lunch was delicious. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Punta Cana!
Amazing, since we were picked up at our hotel, they were very friendly, there was always good communication, the guides very cool, always cheerful, and they helped you at all times. The whole tour was LUXURY..! Super recommended
My experience was very bad first I passed a van for us and I yego late then the van we gypsum to a gasoline and we got on a bus and the gia of the bus named Federico very bad and rude to the people ayi in the gasoline I forgot a look and we went back we lost 45 minutes and I still scolded them and screamed Then he was rushing us like animals and not people When we played saona island we wasted 1 hour swimming trying to grab our food so nothing else we were on the beach like 1 hour it is not worth wasting your whole day for 1 hour beach. Truth is not worth paying for something like this very bad experience. 👎👎👎
Staff were helpful and efficient. Food was amazing and the island was something not to be missed! Speed boat was fast and exciting!
It was okay. The music on the catamaran was so loud that the speakers were straining. Be aware that there are LOTS of people on the Saona island, there was nowhere to sit because the beach was packed (obviously not the tour operators fault, just something to be aware of). We tried to sit further down the beach and a guy came by and told us we had to pay him to sit there. You also have to pay 10 dollars if you want a Pina colada on the island (we didnt). In the speed boat on the way home, one of the tour operators asked me if I was pregnant (I'm not). I understand it was probably for safety reasons, but there was probably a better way to go about that. Food was okay, wish there was more variety of drinks on the boat (rum and coke was the only option). They pull you over to take photos, dont let you say no, then try to sell a photo package to you. You also need to make sure to remember which bus you came in on, as the tour guide just kind of starts walking and doesn't tell you where to go (multiple groups come together from separate buses). Also they take your photo at the start of the excursion, presumably for safety reasons, but then on the way home they pull the bus over so a vendor can try to sell you a bottle of mamajuana with your photo on the label. Kind of makes you feel trapped into buying it when your photo is on it, but at least it was easy to say no.
Long ride from Punta Cana to port. From hotel pick up to underway on catamaran was 3.5 hrs. Catamaran ride was great with a good crew. Once on Sanoa Island, only there for 2 hours which includes the buffet. Overall this is a good excursion.
We booked this a day before because a previous operator cancelled on us last minute. This was noon on December 24th. The excursion was suppose to be at 8am December 25th. So at 10:30pm that night, Christmas EVE on the 24th, right before we were going to bed to be on time for this event,I get a text message that this tour was cancelled because the 25th was Christmas. I asked them why they published it as available if they know that Christmas is on the 25th every single year? So, they just decided that they would cancel anyhow, and left us hanging. THIS IS SO UNPROFESSIONAL. Why do you publish that you offer this on the 25th if you KNOW you don't work on Christmas? So they damaged our Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. TERRIBLE BUSINESS. DON'T RELY ON THEM.
I understand your discontent but you were notified of the cancellation immediately upon receiving it, if you saw availability on the website was because it was available until the time we notified you.It is extremely unfair to leave such a bad review without even having done the excursion and you having received your money back; you should have mentioned that in your comment.
If you would like to be relax and have a perfect day this excursion is for you, we really enjoy our day in the island, blue water was perfect. The staff was very friendly. We recommend it
What a wonderful experience, a beautiful view, and what a spectacular island! This island has everything beautiful, and taking the excursion with this company was definitely the best choice.
This excursion was truely amazing this a must go to place. There are places to visit but then there are those small, sites that your eyes must see, pictures dont do it justice. This is an all day event, but worth it.
Thansk you
