“Never ever boom at our with this company. It’s the worst. I paid 120 dolls. and first of all didn’t bring us to La Isla Saona . They brought us to a beach filled with with mosquitos and all kinds of bugs. The worst part is that when we arrive to the fake Saona Island 2 men from the catamaran started pulling people out of the boat . There was no ladder . It was so slippery. When it was my turn I ASKED THEM… please be careful with me . Con cuidado . They were so rude and pulled me out so brutally that I ended up falling dawn. I hurt one of my toes of my right foot . I was in excruciating pain & I was bleeding from my left leg. They rushed me to the beach in the sun laying down on the beach on my towel filled with severe pain full of sand. I felt beyond miserable. They brought me ice but I thought that I had fractured my toe. I complaint with the tour guide. It was a woman . She wasn’t empathetic at all. She was siding with the 2 men . On the way back they put me in an ambulance and drove me about one hour to a clinic in a town called La Romana. The clinic staff attended me very rapidly , They took me x rays. I didn’t fractured my toe. I dislocated the bone of my left toe. They put me medication through punching my hand. The orthopedic doctor pulled up my toe to put position the dislocated bone to the right place. I stayed there like 3 hours. They ruined my vacation. Doctor gave me some meds . Antibiotics & pain medicine. Then a taxi brought me back to my hotel. I was broken hearted and devastated. I fully complain towards this awful unprofessional company. I’m an avid traveler . I had travelled into different countries all over the world. This had never ever happened in my entire life. This was my birthday present. What a way to ruin my birthday.”

“DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY. You start off in a boat that is not very clean, then you motor about 100 yards into the busy harbor where you jump off and snorkel while other boats are going close by. Then on your way they give you the “lunch” which consists of sandwich bread with a thin slice of “mystery meat” and cheese which is sitting in trays (UNREFRIGERATED) in the boat for who knows how long, with the ocean salt spray all over them. Next they hand you cubes of cheese and mystery meat that has also been in trays unrefrigerated in the 90+ degree heat. We flat refused to eat as it was disgusting. The boat ride to the island was miserable with ocean spray dousing everyone constantly. When you make it to the island the “bar” with unlimited drinks is extremely limited to mostly beer and rum & coke served in Dixie cups. To get one full beer you’d have to go back 3-4 times for constant refills. The food was subpar and this was supposed to be a “PREMIUM PACKAGE”. The catamaran ride back was painfully slow and not safe as you’re forced to sit along the slim rails and there are no life jackets. Again they tried serving the same sandwiches and cheese cubes. Take into account the catamaran had been sitting at the island for hours before we got on to head back… no doubt the unrefrigerated food had been basting in the heat for 6+ hours. On the return tour bus trip you’re hijacked to a nasty roadside souvenir place with horrible restroom facilities and cheap junky merchandise that is worthless. The island is beautiful but the trip to and from just isn’t worth it and… it takes up your entire day.”

“We had an awesome time on the island swimming and just enjoying the sun with our family. The kids had a blast on both boat rides. ”

“Time under was not long enough. I feel like it was to expensive for about 7 minutes under water and I didn’t even get to go all the way down and see the corals. Never again ”
