Other than the pickup being more than 30 mins late and lying that the driver was there waiting when no one showed up it was a great experience. Everything ran pretty smooth after

Not worth it at all imo. Yes. The beach was beautiful but it was filled with rocks, for at least the first 40 feet of the beach. The natural swimming pool should’ve been the main attraction.
The ride/journey to get there took up the majority of the time. Our pickup time was at 7 and we didn’t get to Saona until 12 (counting the stop at the natural swimming pool). Maybe about 6-7 hours commute round trip. The speedboat gave me a headache and the catamaran back was in the blazing sun. Absolutely not.
The guides themselves are the only reason this has 2/5 stars. They were so great, but this was it for me

Very nice Tour! Everything was great! We were picked up from the hotel early and took a speedboat to a sandbar! Then hopped back on for a ride to the beach. After some time on the beach, we got on a catamaran and sailed around the crystal clear waters for a couple hours. It was a great day. Picturesque views and good company. Our guide Carlos a.k.a. Aqua man was a fantastic guide. He made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Punta Cana! One thing I would say that needs improvement is the transfer from speedboat to catamaran. That could’ve been a smoother transition. The speedboats weren’t secured to the catamaran very well so every wave made it tricky to get on the catamaran. Besides that, everything else was perfect!

We have taken the tour with my wedding group to Saona Island; Also with the friends of Somos Viajes, they punctually provided us with a bus with ample capacity, air conditioning and a guide on board, always taking care of and coordinating with Carles! Expert in destiny! The trip lasts approximately 1.45 to the coast of Bayhibe where you take a speed boat to the natural pools and then to Saona Island, provide for those people with reduced mobility since they are not prepared, the trip and the experience are good, although Due to the influx of people it could represent chaos, before boarding and then on the island itself.
The tour provides food on the island, which you must line up and eat right there, enjoying a simple but paradisiacal view.
You should make the most of your quality time on the island, since you have approximately 2 hours to then return to the coast.
The tour has been liked by everyone and they have always been well taken care of by Carles and his team. I would definitely return to entrust my group to them.

The trip is a bit rushed without much time to enjoy the island. We got there at lunch time and had 1h30 to eat and see the place. Free time ends up being in the natural pools of the Blue Lagoon. The transfer is old and very uncomfortable

We arrived in Santo Domingo and went by land to Bayahibe where the excursions to Saona Island leave. If you are already in Punta Cana, you should still go to Bayahibe and the trip is more expensive. In general, the island is very beautiful, calm water and warm water, it is worth it

So first thing we were told 715 am would be pock up at our resort lobby. Waited til 745 contacted the number they said they texted us the night before and it got moved to 815 but we had to go outside of our resort gate. So we do as we are told and 845 we finally got on the bus. The bus then stopped at not 1 but 2 gas stations on the way so people could use the bathroom but really so the staff could smoke. Finally we get to the dock and we are loaded onto a catamaran with other people with nowhere to sit. Also no alcoholic beverages. Then we sit in the hot sun for 15 mins until a speedboat comes with yet more people to load on. Finally we get to this natural pool thing 20 mins everyone has to get back out. We finally get to the island we have 2 and a half hours not a full day but 2 and a half hours. There are people walking around selling you stuff. They now have alcoholic beverages the food wasn't bad. We got a 5 min massage for 20 bucks was decent but then they pushed for more. The chairs were hard to come by as the island was full of people. When it was time to go they stuffed as many people into one speedboat as they could. On the way back we stopped at yet another gas station/souvenir store for over a half hr the one tour guide stayed there the other had a few beers. Very unprofessional. We saw jellyfish in the water on the way there but no fish in the water at the island. Kind of disappointing.

I wouldn’t waste your time or money. We got picked up at 7:30 and didn’t even get on the speedboat till nearly 11. For what is a 45 min journey from our hotel. You’re harassed by seller when you get the the port, crammed on a speed boat to Soana Island, not sure what the fuss is about. It’s dirtier and busier than our hotel beach. Lunch was below average and you’re bothered by sellers the whole time. The beach is overcrowded and you’re surrounded by locals who you feel like you’re interrupting their lunch break. You’re there for too long doing nothing. Then on an overcrowded catamaran where there only a small amount of netting to sit on. You’ll then spend 2 1/2 getting back to your hotel after being pestered to buy more stuff. It’s only a full day tour as you spend most of it sat in a car. We did a small snorkelling half day tour and it was a million times better.
