Excellent! - Great trip. I fully recommend going with a friend or group. Some people will offer to take some pictures of you with their cameras. The pictures are quite expensive so be mindful of that.

Awesome tour guide, Alex!! - Alex was a great tour guide. The whole trip was fun. We really enjoyed seeing the starfish and swimming in the Caribbean ocean.

A trip to paradise - I did this trip alone. The very kind taxi driver picked me up at the hotel in Santo Domingo, it took us two and a half hours to get to Bayahibe where a katamaran was waiting for us. I met two people with whom I spent the day. The trip is very touristy, lots of people, lots of music and lots of rum but if you only have one day available it is ideal to go and see Saona Island. On site you have 3 hours of time, a buffet, plenty of drinks, deckchairs, a few shops. In one of them José, very nice, speaks Italian. On the way back you take a smaller boat and stop in the natural pool which is a shallow area where you can touch, but far from the shore. I return in the evening. I recommend it for those who have little time available.

Boats and Borrac(hoes) - This excursion was even better than I hoped it would be! The organizer had good communication with me. The boat ride out to the island was also scenic and the open bar and music got everybody dancing. The Caribbean and Saona Island are beautiful! The water is so clear and so was the beach. Lunch was good, the waves were calm, and the beach was a little busy but there were definitely enough chairs and hammocks available. The boat and bus ride back were even more fun. Thank you to the driver and tour guides who were all incredibly nice and fun! Can't recommend this excursion enough!

1st time in DR - Amazingly beautiful. Boat ride was sketchy, food was not remarkable. . Offers pineapple & coconut drinks & massages on the beach for additional $$

Island Beach time at Soana - Loved the experience...the staff was great.. Lunch was good....rode on three different boats.. about 65 people in our group... lively music on the way to the island and a fast boat trip back...the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was the restrooms. The toilet had no seats and an attendant had to throw water into the toilet to flush....I made sure I gave them a tip. If they ever upgrade the restrooms then it would be a 5 for me.

Great beach, very disorganized company. - I got the option to arrive at the meetup location (I was staying close) but was offered the option to get picked up for free which I accepted, while asking when would they pick me up. They stopped answering my messages so I was confused if I should wait for them or get to the meetup location, but then they answered at 8pm (pickup was 6:30am). I asked who would pick me up and the license plate and they never answered. After that, they didn't communicate with the 2 ladies in the next pickup, which we had to wait until almost 9am (2.5hr in the van) to pick them up. That means we lost 2.5hr of the beach tour and only were there for less than 3hr. The catamaran and boat ride and The beach were fantastic. The lunch was fine. There is no area for boats, which means they get real close to where people are in the beach, sometimes asking people to move away instead of them getting to the beach a bit farther. The tour implies what is paid for and what is extra, but then every tour guide would ask for tips, including the van driver who made us wait. If you want to, feel free to tip additional, but don't feel obligated or pressured since they are already paid. Overall, great beach, partially friendly staff, very disorganized company.

Not worth going. - It was long drive to get there to take rhe boat. Had to wait a hour to get on boat and about two hours to get to the island. Rush to get food from buffet lunch and about hour to enjoy the island. Not worth going.

Not a Caribbean Cruise at all - I think the trip was not advertised accurately. It was a party boat of 80-90 people. When I asked I was told about 20. That was the size of the group if was put in but did not know there would be 80+ people on the boat. It was not a good experience for what I expected and what I have experience on other cruises in Caribbean islands. I'm sorry to say this but also the lunch food was terrible an we had to wait in long lines for NOT quality food. It was the ultimate of a party boat and I think somewhat unsafe with close to 100 people. The beach was not as nice as I've experienced in other places as well.

Horrible. - The worst experience, they made me get up at 5 in the morning and pay an Uber to get to the meeting place, then a bus arrived and they let the entire group enter except me because they didn't find my name on the list, I showed them the electronic ticket and they didn't believe me then the driver called and from the other side the person answered leave it and tell me nothing, they treated me like a thief.
