Beautiful but could use improvement - This is a must do trip when in DR! This tour company was decent except for a few key things. Just for context we have done many excursions over the years. We did catamaran on the way there and speed boat on way back. On the way there they came around with coke and rum. After that you go to the back to get water or coke or rum...that's it. Stopped at the natural pool, swam came back on boat. Again drinks were not easily accessible and were limited and no food but you can buy an empanada for $1 usd.(by this time you get hungry as it's about 4 hours or more since you were picked up) There were smokers at the front of the catamaran that in the beginning were told had to go to back to smoke, however this was not enforced at all during the trip which was disappointing for us non smokers. Also kids sitting dangerously on the edge of the catamaran and again not paying attention to safety (parents too). We have been on catamarans before, all of them would tell children to not go on edge and watch smokers. The lunch was decent. All in all, a nice day. Speed boat on way back was quick. Gone for about 11 hours but I didn't mind. It would be great for more drink options and provide a few small snacks after natural pool.

Saona Island trip was a fiasco... - My clients said they were shuttled from the hotel via a gas fill up and to put air in the tire...and were taken to the port via tourist traps, the transfer from hotel to port took 3 hours which is only 1 hour away....they were dumped at the port to find their boat on their own as the driver did not speak English, there were 40 people on the boat which drove too fast to the island...the lunch was not good and we sat on old worn out beach chairs...this tour was supposed to be 15 people and it was 40 people...the trip took 12 hours and we were exhausted when we were dumped back at the port and were shuttled onto any bus they could find to get back to the resort...all in all very chaotic and would not recommend this trip...

Do Not use Punta Cana Paradise tour for excursions - I booked this tour on Tuesday, July 15. The day for the tour was scheduled for Saturday, July 19, 2025. After completing the booking, Punta Cana Paradise Tours instructions stated that hotel pick-up will commence at 7am on July 19. The instructions further stated that on the day of the scheduled tour, they’ll contact me and give me a pick-up time. They never did. I try calling Punta Cana Paradise tour several times on the phone number provided to no avail. At about 7:30 am, Punta Cana Paradise tour finally sent me a message and stated that my pick-up time is going to be 7:50am. Nobody showed up. At 8:20am, I sent Punta Cana Paradise tour another message requesting a new pick-up time and they never responded. I wasted two hours of my time, from 7:00am to 9:00 am, waiting to be picked-up by Punta Cana Paradise tour. If you looking for an excursion, all I can say Good Luck if you going to use Punta Cana Paradise tour.
