Beach's day - The tour to Saona Island was excellent, the catamarans used were in perfect condition and clean. Services such as bathroom and food were very tidy on the island. The attention of the guide and the staff both on the boats and on the island and on the bus that transported us was incredible, very friendly and attentive to each of us who were in that group.

Book now! - Everything was amazing! I enjoyed the boat rides and the food was amazing! Definitely worth the money. Just be prepared for stops along the way to pick up other passengers to get to the boat. My recommendation is to bring sunscreen, a hat, snacks for the boat ride, and money for souvenirs. The photographers will take your picture during the entire trip and will show you at the end to buy. The photos I took were amazing and I paid for every single one of them.

Saona Island - This trip was a fantastic experience, the bus was on time and the stops for pick up were brief. The tour guide spoke Spanish, English and French, he coordinated everything including bathroom stops. The Catamaran sailed smoothly and was a great party boat, excellent music and all you can drink. The natural pool was safe, you can actually from tge Catamaran in the ocean to the beach. Sail to Saona Island was awesome. The food was delicious and filling. The beach had hammocks for resting. Washrooms were cleaned constantly, cleaner was present at all times. I gave this tour ***** Well done.

A boat tour - The crew were nice. I thought that the host would communicate in English as well. He did not. I also thought there would have been more on the island then tables and chairs. We also had to wait for drinks and food. There was also alot of smoking on the boat and on the island. It was hard to escape people smoking cigarettes everywhere. If you are allergic or sensitive to cigarette smoke this may not be the trip for you. By the end of the tour I was nauseated. The water and the island are beautiful! The listing says no photos. However, a young man named Jason was there and took lovely photos for a fee. Also plan to spend the entire day. We were picked up after 7 am and didn’t get back to our resort until 6 pm. Plan accordingly.

Messy - This tour is very messy. We met at 7am but didnt get to the island until 1pm and had to rush thru a very bland lunch. We enjoyed the beach until 3pm and had to leave for the pool. We were there for 30mins and back to shore by 4pm. It wasnt an enjoyable experience.

Do not book. - Do not book. They will refuse to pick you up from your hotel. It's not worth it save your money. Next time I will use punta Cana to see if there is a difference.
