Saona island is a pure slice of Caribbean bliss. Unwind on pearl-white beaches under rustling palms with the gentle sound of the waves lapping at the shore. Step aboard for the cruise over to Saona by catamaran or speedboat. Next, a tasty buffet lunch and plenty of time to relax on Abanico Beach, before the return trip with a swim stop at the natural pools

Felt abit nervous to go in this trip as I’d seen some negative reviews especially as we were the only English speaking and had seen priority is usually given to Spanish speakers however it was perfect and our guide (illyas) was amazing we don’t feel like we missed anything at all and he went out of his way for us. Great value for money, it was a long day but it went very fast and nothing was dragged out we felt like it was the perfect amount of time at each place. Great staff on the boats also.

As we were staying in Bayahibe, we avoided the long transfer from Punta Cana which made the experience even better than last time. A taxi picked us up after breakfast and was waiting at the harbour on return. The trip is excellent, the island is pristine and exactly what it looks like in the photos. Going on a speedboat one way and a catamaran the other is great, the stop off at the natural swimming pool is great and there is no shortage of rum and coke all day long. Just book it, you’ll love it

Fantastic day all round. Guide was amazing. Didn’t really enjoy the stop at the shop. Music on catamaran was good but very loud. But we had the best day lived the island wish we could have had longer there.

The whole experience was brilliant. We stopped off at a souvenir shop / toilet on route. As expected there was quite a bit of travelling (bus then boat) but definitely worth it!! On the speed boat we stopped in a natural pool which was gorgeous. At Saona we had access to a beach with sun loungers which was very private and a lovely BBQ for lunch. On the catamaran the entertainment was great! Our guide was lovely and informative.

Transfer took a long time however the ports on the opposite side of the island, the other pick ups only added in about 30 mins in total. Island is incredible, really enjoyed the whole day. We traveled with our 4 year old and she loved the speed boat, beach and catamaran, just ensure you have plenty of journey snacks and entertainment for the 2 hr transfer. The beach is stunning, the clearest water and most beautiful sand. Everyone wants a tip, however I think this is standard for DR.

An absolutely fantastic tour - much better than the description suggests. Knowledgeable guide, easy-going day, comfortable bus to the coast (though our transfer to the bus from the hotel was 45 minutes late). We took a catamaran to the island, sunbathed and swam on a glorious beach, then took a speedboat back. We stopped off for a little swim on the way back and saw some massive starfish. Plenty of free drinks - loads of rum and coke! The best bit of our holiday. Totally brilliant.
