Saona Island Day Trip From Punta Cana with Lunch and Open Bar Included

I will say the guides and people we came in contact with were as sweet as possible, very kind & caring. However we waited 1.5 hrs to be picked up in the am. The tour said there would be max 50 people and there were 60, so very crowded on the bus & speed boat. Drink when u return from the tour because the bathroom size Dixie cups they served “only” cheap rum, coke or sprite was nasty. The music was out of control loud during the trip.. on the boat & beach. The food was nothing to be desired. The return trip transfers were scary. We got dropped off on the side of a highway to get into a van. But we did get back safe..!!

It’s perfect experience. Thank you so much. I am highly recommend to all. The guys who accommodate me were so supportive.

the overall is good. natural pool was great. island was great. the sale boat was really nice. really nice crew. issue with this tour 1. sped boat is small and rockey. 2. photographers are on your face to take pictures and buy them. 3. we switched boats too many times. this is cheap on the tour to save money docking large boats. 4. they are all about getting tips and trying to sell you stuff. 5. stopped by a shop in the middle of no where. what is the point of that ? 6. not well organized. lots of confusion who lead and who need to do what

Island was beautiful but the transportation was an adventure on it’s own. We had to bus to a bus, take a speed boat to the island, take a speed boat from the island to a catamaran, catamaran to another speed boat and then back on the bus to your hotel. All in all it was okay but if you’re staying at one of the resorts in Punta Cana just be prepared to travel for a few hours.

I had a great time on this day trip with my significant other. Our tour guide was Cristian and driver was Barriga. Cristian was very funny, energetic, knowledgeable and organized. He always kept count of everyone in the group and was very organized with the pick up at other hotels. The company confirmed with me our pick up time the night before via message for 6:45am, and at 6:43 Cristian was prompt and waiting at the lobby for us. The natural pool was very cool as we got to see huge starfish. The saona island was beautiful. Our bbq lunch at the island was delicious. The only negative I have is the people at the island constantly harassing you to let them massage you. A few women touched me when asking if I would like a massage and I was very uncomfortable with that. But that has nothing to do with the company, so they get 5 stars.

I would have like to spend more time enjoying the island. We only got a hour and a half and then we had to head back. It was a beautiful place

We got our pick up time very late in the day which made it difficult to plan what time to get up and how to get breakfast prior. Other wise the tour guide was great and so was the trip all I can say is that the island is very packed and I would not recommend as a relaxing day

Where do I begin. My pick up time was set at 6:40 am and they were very adamant that I had to be outside at that time , yet they were late picking me up. The driver did about 7-8 or more pick ups and in one of them we waited about 15-20 minutes for a family. Which is ridiculous and rude. Very unorganized. It’s not approximately 8hrs. It’s 12 hours. Our tour guy talked a lot but I was impressed he spoke French. Terrible experience.

Beach was beautiful- and the natural swim area stop was nice Catamaran was enjoyable coming back. The speedboat was extremely overcrowded and uncomfortable! We did not stay on schedule at all and only had less than 2 hours at the beach including eating the food. Food was cold and meat very dry - flies were everywhere. It took way too long to get to the beach itself. Benjamin was friendly and informative but did not hold everyone accountable to a time frame. Too long of a day for what you got out of it. Should have stayed at the resort.

It was a fairly enjoyable excursion. The natural swimming pool and the beach were nice as most people said. The water was clear but due to the amount of people and boat traffic stirring up the sand, it made it a little difficult to snorkel with a clear view if that’s something you like to do. Also, as most people said, the vendors are relentless. This isn’t a big problem, though because you just need to keep ignoring them. If you do decide to buy from them, talk them down extremely because there are so many and they are all selling the same thing! The trip is long depending on how many stops your bus has to make. We were the first on and the last off so it made it about 2hours long. It’s not that long, though, if you are a middle stop. Overall, I would give it a decent review, but the hype of how beautiful everything is did not stand up to some of the inconveniences.
