Wow… book it! Soana private tour. - Wow what an experience! We booked the private soana tour. This was a private taxi to the port at 8am, then speedboat (for our family only) to the natural pools. We spent around 30-45 mins here, finding starfish, stingray. Our tour guide then took the speedboat around some mangroves, where we saw turtles.
We then went to soana island, we were first there by around 45-60 mins …. Private sunbathing and eating area. It was magical. Food was ok. Drinks served in tiny plastic cups, bring your own cup if you can.
We left Soana at 2.30pm (was getting quite busy at this point!) at our request as we wanted to return to the natural pools one last time which the guide was more than happy to do. He even stopped at a well known spot where so many tropical fish swim.
We got back to port at around 3.30 / 4.
Expensive excursion but well worth it… was an incredible experience. Tailored to my family needs.

THE BEST trip ever! Private Saona Island - THE BEST trip ever! Definitely recommend this private tour of Saona Island. We have arrived at least an hour before anyone else, so we had the Island to ourselves. We left after everyone else had left. Victor (our tour guide) was very informative and made sure we were taken care of on the Island and on the way there and back. So worth spending the extra money on private vs catamaran tour with 50 people.

The best excursion. Highly recommended - Best excursion we've ever done. Starting at the river, following the pools, there is the march begins with Yoyo the entertainer, then the food on the beach, all amazing. Visit to the village. And the last stop on a beach just for us. The group despite not knowing anything. With very good Mood, I highly recommend it.

Amazing time spent - We really enjoyed our private trip to Saona. The sea and the beach are really amazing. Lobsters are very tasty with garlic oil. Everythin was exactly as described in tour description. Special thanks to our guide Victor for very interesting history and info stories. Good things we arrived earlier to island and there were almost nobody so we can do nice photoshoots.

Unforgettable boat trip to Saona Island - We took a day trip to Saona. The guide Victor really liked it - they learned a lot about life in the Dominican Republic, the island is a paradise place, the water is pure, white sand, and on the way back they still had time to look at the mangroves and bathe with the starfish. Unforgettable experience! Also used the services of photographer Inna... were very pleased with the result, she is a very professional photographer and the prices are very affordable.

Paradise Delight ❤️ - Thank you so much to all the wonderful Team from DominikanaPro! ❤️😻 We selected the hotel based on a YouTube review recommendation from Karina and Sasha! Thank you very much! That's when we knew the guys could be trusted. Wrote on WhatsApp and got cool offers from Arina. All questions and requests were resolved quickly and clearly! 🫶
Chose a saona tour. The bus picked us up punctually and comfortably. A guide, very professional and cool guy. Burns 🔥 for what he's doing! 🫶 has so much to say. We came to the island first and it's just magic!!! 😻❤️ Magic Island as in fairy tales. The agency has its own cool spot with shade under the tree. They were very good. Nice toilets, showers... all clean and very friendly. ❤️ Isle of Heaven!!! We also had a great company! 🫶🔥. Our children, (4.7 years old) really liked 🥰. When a lot of people came to the island we left and went to a natural pool where we went swimming with the starfish. God, you have to see... really... so many impressions 😻🤩. A wonderful, unforgettable day!
Thank you so much and see you soon!!! 🥰❤️🔥🫶

Excursion - We share our impressions about the excursion to the paradise island of Saona with "Dominicana pro". The company managers are always in touch, answering all questions quickly and on the job, which is nicely placed from the first moments of communication. The bus arrived at the hotel at the scheduled time, the guide came out to meet us and escorted us to the cabin. The bus was immediately pleased with the comfortable temperature (the air conditioning worked but not in freezing mode, as it happens), and cleanliness. The promised wifi worked throughout the route. The driver drove in a "European" style. No jerks or extremes on the road. Before boarding the vessel on the shore, we were given time to go to the toilet and, soon, we were cutting through the turquoise sea smooth. The ship's captain had the same quiet driving style as the bus driver. The vessel is comfortable and at the same time fast. At the same time, the spray didn't fly in. In 40 minutes, we were already on Paradise Island. It's not just words, the place really defies description, the island is drowned in the green of the rainforest and the sound of birds, all this beauty is surrounded by a calm sea with clean water and a snow-white beach. It's like a picture. On the island, lunch and free time for enjoyment were provided. Throughout the route we were accompanied by the Dominican national guide and the Russian-speaking guide Yulia. I particularly want to acknowledge Julia's work. Her supreme professionalism, experience, excellent speech, attentiveness, care and inexhaustible energy have left no one indifferent. She made our day. We thank the entire team very much.
Look forward to a trip to Samana)

Excursion with Dominican.pro island of Saona - Visited excursion 20.09.2021 to the island of Saona with guide Dominican.pro Michael. Saona is a tropical island in the southeastern part of the Dominican Republic. Paradise, we saw mangroves, coral reefs, snow-white sand beaches, palm trees. The shallow waters of the Caribbean Sea are home to starfish. Mikhail said that there are no hotels on the island and it is impossible to stay here overnight. Mikhail took care of the tourists, offered free use of sunscreens and mosquito repellents.Thank you Dominican staff.pro!!!

Everything is great!!! - Through the Dominican Pro Agency went to Saona Island, excellent organization, incendiary animation on a watercraft, attentive guide Mikhail. The island itself is a separate delight, it was beautiful).
I liked it all, and it was cheaper than the others.
