Saona island is a picture-perfect slice of Caribbean paradise. Upgrade your time on its blissful beaches with plenty of time at Abanico Beach and VIP dining including lobster and wine. You'll start with a scenic cruise over to the island. Next, lunch and plenty of time to relax on Saona, before the return trip with a swim stop at the natural pools

la persona que me vendio el paquete en el hotel me dijo mentiras ninca me dieron lo que me prometieron y me cobro mas de lo normal y el barco que nos llevava a isla saona se descompuso y perdimos mucho tiempo

Made so many memories me and my family really enjoyed and definitely will come back

A full day, enjoyed the speedboat, swimming in the lagoon, time on the beautiful Saona Island beach, food including lobster meal, and the catamaran back. Interesting history about the Caribbean. Group stuck together and instructions clear for meeting. Policy should be more robust on guests who were not on time in catching the transport as there was a lot of delays. Generally, the guide and various staff engagement was tailored towards Spanish speaking tourists, isolating non-Spanish guests.

Thanks to the guide for a fascinating tour. I don't recommend the food: the island is beautiful, but the lobster is inedible. This trip isn't worth the money.

Overall this was an amazing experience! The views and beach are incredible, the speed boat, catamaran experience an absolute treat. Lobster lunch was the icing on the cake. All the staff were amazing and although a little chaotic at times it all added to the experience! Only slight negative was the late arrival of the pick up which did have us worried, but we knew the TUI app was there to help if we needed it. It's a must do activity for anyone coming to the Dom Rep!

The speed boat was fun, but the trip felt rushed as you don’t get much time to enjoy everything
