Traveler reviews
“We went as family and the island was beautiful, we were speechless. All the tours drop you to the island but the journey there is also an experience so I will pay more for better service and food in the island. I would still go next time I'm in DR. Would highly recommend ”
“Scenery was gorgeous...undeveloped, natural coastline. Small boat was a little bumpy but we weren't on it too long. The natural pool was relaxing and fun. The island was very crowded; they take too many people there at once. They didn't warn us that there was very sharp coral in the water and my husband cut himself pretty good. As a whole, it was good and worth it just to see that beautiful water and coastline. We only left the resort one day and it was the perfect thing to do.”
“Everything was very crowded. First with the catamaran you are shoulder to shoulder and the boat is loud and far from relaxing. It didn’t help that our tour had people literally passing out and vomiting on our boat. Once at the island it is far from a secluded beach. It was very crowded and by the time we debarked and ate on the island we had very little time to actually enjoy the island before having to head back. In short if you are looking for a nice relaxing trip this isn’t it. If you are looking for a crowded party boat then this is for you.”
“We fully enjoyed our day trip to Saona Island because the stop at the natural swimming pool was amazing (10/10) and the trip was fun. It could have been much better if we weren't so rushed and the boat wasn't so crammed full. We only got 30 minutes at the natura6 swimming pool, and roughly an hour at Saona Island. The meal was ok but could be improved by providing some sauce with the chicken. It was pretty dry. Other aspects of the trip were good.”
“This was literally the highlight of our trip! It was a little interesting at first like getting there, you stop at a gas station but then after that you’ll be on your way to paradise! The tour guide and crew members were so much fun, and did an amazing job of getting us there and then getting us off the island and back to our resorts. I can’t recommend this day trip enough!! The water is absolutely beautiful! A must do! ”
