    Not good, spent most of...

    aaliyah_p, Mar 2026
    Not good, spent most of the time transporting different vehicles and waiting around. only had 1 hour at the actual island and we were told 1.5 but then an hour in the boat tried to leave without us and we had to practically swim to the boat through a forest of seaweed. we got back home 1 hour later than we were told. food was mid, drinks didn’t get us any level of drunk. only redeeming part was the views and the fact i went thru it with my friend lol

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that parts of the excursion did not meet your expectations. The itinerary is followed as outlined prior to booking, and the experience includes both land and maritime transportation, as Saona Island is located outside of Punta Cana. Travel time is an essential part of reaching such a beautiful destination and is reflected in the overall schedule. Saona Island time is carefully planned within the day’s logistics, though minor adjustments can occasionally happen due to operational or environmental factors. We understand how important timing is and regret if this impacted your experience. Our excursion includes an open bar throughout the trip; however, we maintain responsible service practices to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for all guests. The goal is a fun, relaxed atmosphere—not a race to see who can forget the ride home. We’re glad you were able to enjoy the views and share the experience with your friend—those moments are what make the journey worthwhile. We also encourage reviewing the full tour details in advance so expectations align with the structure of the experience. Thank you again for your feedback and we hope to welcome you again on one of our experiences

    They should be aware that there are several changes in transportation and that the drivers do not communicate in English.

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Thank you for your feedback. As stated in the tour description, the experience includes multiple transportation changes to minimize the time it takes to pick all guests from hotels and the transfer drivers generally do not speak English. However, our office staff stays in constant communication with guests throughout the entire process to ensure everything runs smoothly. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts as it helps us continue improving.
