You Must Visit Saona Island - This is one of the best ways to view Saona Island. The ride to and from Bayahibe is priceless. Victor our guide is funny and tremendous. The clear ocean was fairly calm which really put a smile on my face.

Wonderful discovery! - This was a wonderful experience. I had never heard of this island. My favorite part was the time at the island. The included lunch was equal to some of the fine restaurants that I've visited here. There is also a lively boat ride back to shore. I recommend this trip for singles and couples.

A Good Time. - Always an amazing time on Boca Chica Beach. We enjoy interacting with the locals so it depends on your vibe. We stayed at Whala, which was adequate enough for a short stay.

Safe, fun, Informative! - A wonderful experience! The party started once we got on the boat and even as we were walking with our guide, we felt very safe with him, he spoke more than three languages and gave different tourists the rundown each in their native tongue. Impressive. Pics were expensive but worth it. We did not get a chance to eat breakfast and were very hungry by lunchtime. BUT now we know to pack snacks next time. Definitely will be booking again!

fun but long day - It was a fun day, but lots of transportation and not enough time on the island. We knew there would be a long car ride and long boat rides, which was fine other than the small car they squished us in for the ride to the pier from Santo Domingo. We were shoulder to shoulder for two hours each way. The island is beautiful and the natural pool is cool. As long as you know it is going to be a long day and like rum and coke, you will have a fun time.

Saona Island is worth seeing - The tour was very nice and well organized. However, unlike others, our boat did not have a side cover. Therefore, everyone in the last rows was completely soaked. Not pleasant! The detour to the “natural pool” (a large bay with shallow water) was a great task. Saona Island has a beautiful beach. The buffet was acceptable. The journey from Santo Domingo takes about 2 hours.

Saona - Beautiful beach and water, absolutely terrible food. Catamaran takes a very long time to arrive so you are at the beach for only two hours.

DO NOT BOOK. FRAUD!!!!!! - THIS COMPANY IS A FRAUD. They never showed up to our hotel, no updates, WILL NOT REFUND. Six other people at the same hotel we stayed at were waiting on this same tour. I'm still fighting with my bank to get a refund for a service I NEVER received.
