Traveler reviews
“This is a rip-off that nobody wants to take responsibility for; they only took us to the natural pool for 30 minutes and to Saona Island for 2 hours, but we paid for an all-day tour and not for 2 and a half hours. They picked us up 2 hours late and did not deliver what we paid for. This is a scam don’t go in this tour.”
“DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY. They're scammers. If I could leave a 0 rating, I would. I booked this excursion for my husband and young daughters before I left for our trip. Everything was all good until the day before the excursion when I started to become suspicious. No one reached out to me to reconfirm pick up time nor location (7am in the hotel lobby). The morning of, I woke up my 3 & 7yo daughters extremely early to be ready on time. I sent messages via TripAdvisor and not one response! We waited in the hotel lobby for an hr and no one ever came. I had to call TripAdvisor to find out what was going on. That's an international call therefore it's going to be on my phone bill. Not only did this company take money from me and not provide any type of service, they wasted our precious time. I'm back from my trip and they still haven't reached out to apologize nor refund me. Let me reiterate, DO NOT BOOK WITH THESE SCAMMERS.”
“The boat part of the tour was amazing as was the food. Best meal we had in the Dominican. The natural pool was simply breathtaking. I would suggest you bring your own snorkelling gear to get the full experience. We saw starfish and crabs on the sea floor as well as a passing sea turtle. It was the transportation that was the negative. The transportation was very disorganized with poor communication to the travellers. The driver on the way back was speaking to a passenger beside him in Spanish and it appeared they were making some type of deal. We had families in the bus with small children. The driver stopped on the way back at a very sketchy part of Punta Cana so the couple in the front could visit an ATM. I noticed a security guard with a shotgun was patrolling the ATM with several sketchy people around while the driver attended leaving the van unattended with the families on board. I believe we missed our transfer as he was on the phone trying to arrange transportation. Next we stopped at a gift shop for about 45 min left alone again while he went in the shop with the couple he made the deal with. Finally we got back to our resort well after the time expected. I would avoid at all costs. Book with another tour guide.”
“The whole trip was sketchy. Felt unorganized. Felt unorganized. Felt unorganized. I don't want to say more this is enough to say about a trip that was not worth it”
“Absolutely a must do. The massage on the beach is good. You have to haggle with the price almost down to 80% of the price. Overall will definitely recommend. Willie the tour guide was really good too. ”
