Traveler reviews
“Our transportation from the resort to the excursion was extremely scary!! We were transferred to another driver which we had no knowledge of happening. Our driver did not speak English and had pulled over on the side of the road for 25 minutes while we sat there, frightened, about what was going to happen next. Very unprofessional and unnerving.”
“We visited Isla Saona with Punta Cana Extrema, our contact was Kelmy Rojas and she was excellent. From transportation to and from our place, to Isla Saona and back it was great. Good vibes, music and drinks on board and excellent food and service on the Island. This was and all day excursion and so worth it. The staff was amazing and personable I would highly recommend and would use their services again.”
“This experience was painful to be honest. From the first moment to the very last. Bus journey comfortable, but the driver was constantly honking.. super annoying after 2847362 honks and 10h day. The pick up was at 7:15, but we only reached the boat at 10:50… then we had to wait 40mins for some bracelets and for the boat to arrive because all the boats had already left and we were the last group.. Right there someone was taking pictures for “security reasons” as he called… have a look at the end to see the biggest scam The tour guide was useless, even more lost that we were. The rest of the staff, apart from one female photographer who was nice, were super rude (especially the main photographer “tchu chi” or smothering like that) just because we didn’t want the photos. My wife slipped going in the boat and the 2 staffs that were near her completely ignored … Everything was supper rushed. The natural pool was nice, even if it was super crowded. The snorkling was a joke… they put everyone on a small square foot of the ocean, throw bread to fishes to make them appear for us, and only gave us goggles … Once we arrive the beach we had to wait another 30’ for crappy food, and poor drinks at the “open bar” Not to mention the constant vendors always trying to make us buying stuff. The beach had great views, but as a beach lacks of actually beach stuff.. the sun is covered by the trees, and it’s impossible to swim from all the rocks on the water. For the return at the catamaran, it was the only good thing, very nice and enjoyable, though the transfer into the catamaran was super dangerous. The final scam is when one gentleman enters our bus to sell mamajuana with (imagine) our “security pictures” on it… Definitely will not a be experience I recommend.”
“Horrible the people in charge were 1 hour late for pick up and then the bus broke down. After we were suppose to go at 7am we ended up arriving to the marina at 10:30. When I book the tour it included seafood when we got there they said fry fish and lobster were extra Not happy camper at all”
“It was a great overall experience and definitely something I would consider doing again. However, the organization could be improved. There were too many vehicle changes throughout the tour, which made the logistics a bit confusing and less comfortable. In addition, our boat ran out of fuel at one point, and we had to wait for another boat to bring more, which caused an unexpected delay. Despite these issues, the experience itself was very enjoyable and worth it.”
