What travelers are saying
- Gaëlle SPrague, Czech Republic56 contributionsAlex and Juan were great.
The saona Island and the pool were beautiful.
Now, keep in mind you get picked up by bus between 6 and 8am more or less and then go for another hour by bus to the other side of the island.
From there speedboat for 30mn, get in the pool for 45mn.
Then more boat and here you arrive to the beautiful saona island.
Turquoise water, coral, clean beach. Beautiful.
Then after 2h,go to catamaran for 1h30 and again bus back for 1h/2h depending on your hotel drop off
Overall, the 11h day trip for less than 3h of sea and lots of bus was good but damn tiring.Written October 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Stacie V.Orlando, United States11 contributionsDefinitely recommend this excursion! We were on a cruise that stopped at the Taino Bay Port in Puerta Plata, DR for the day. I purchased through Trip Advisor and not the cruise line because it was twice the price through them. The guys picked us up right outside the port (about a 10 minute walk). The drive was approximately 30 minutes to the falls, all on paved roads. They did have us leave all our stuff (bags/towels/phones) in their van which I was a little uneasy about at first but our photographer was accompanying us the whole time and the driver locked it up. We then grabbed life vests and helmets and joined another group since there were only two of us and started the hike up to the falls. There we met Gabriel and two other gentlemen that were guiding us through the falls. Wear water shoes or sandals with thick soles! They gave us all a bottle of water and had us take breaks along the way. There were inclines, some rocky terrain, and wooden stairs (up & down) but it was a manageable hike for everyone. We even saw some cows along the hike! Werbe was our "shooter" that hiked along with us and took pictures along the way. We reached the falls and took a ladder down into the water. The water was so refreshing since we had been hiking for the last 30ish minutes. We then walked/swam through the water. There were a couple that you had to swim through b/c they were too deep to walk, but the life vest kept our heads afloat. None of the areas were fully submerged where you had to swim under water. The deeper ponds you could slide or jump into. The whole time Werbe was getting through the water with a camera and getting shots of us through out, I really appreciated that because I don't know how we were going to get pictures while doing this. It took about 45 minutes to get through the falls, the wait times to slide/jump were minimal because they did a good job of keeping the groups small. I would have loved to stay in the water a little longer but they gathered us up after everyone jumped into the last pond to start walking back. The walk back was easier than going up but they didn't give us anymore water. Luckily the waterfalls had cooled us off! We returned to base where we were led to the fresh hot buffet of food for lunch (this was included in the cost!). There was chicken, beef, rice/beans, fries, salad and pasta available. Werbe also had a cooler with water & sodas for us. We ate, and I had a nice little island cat friend hang out by my chair begging for food lol I was giving it chicken so that was my fault it hung around. We then had to head back to the port so we were driven back in the van to the same area where we were picked up outside the port. I paid an extra fee for Werbe to send the pictures and videos digitally through e-mail that I received just a few hours later. He got some great shots! We were pleased with this excursion and glad we tried it! The company is trustworthy and I thought this was a great value for a 4 hour experience.Written October 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Natalie C2 contributionsHas an absolutely amazing time on this tour from start to finish. Clear instructions sent a few days before via WhatsApp. Pick up was on time and in a lovely air conditioned van, with water and biscuits provided. The three stops all offered such variety with a beautiful Dominican lunch provided by Hennessy and her team. Joel (the guide), was very knowledgable and friendly, translating in 3 different languages. Augusto the driver was also very friendly! A great day all round!Written September 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Gabby K2 contributionsAmazing time, beautiful snorkeling and wonderful hospitality from staff. From the minute we got on the tour we felt comfortable. It was a great time, I would recommend to all.Written October 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- АннаOdesa, Ukraine3 contributionsGood excursion for this price, but not the best place at the beach in Saona. Nice organization and guide. The price is the cheapest what we found.Written April 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Shawn T5 contributionsWe were a group of 19 celebrating our 35th class reunion. Baby chela, Josiah, Angela and Calo were AWESOME!!! We had a party on the ocean and the food was the best we had thus far. Great Job crew!!!Written October 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Clara C2 contributionsWe did a trip to Saona Island with Melvin. The group was very intimate we got to know the other people in our group it felt like a small family. Melvin our fearless leader was AMAZING. He is so knowledgeable and very passionate about the island you will get a mini history lesson as well. Another favorite part about this trip was visiting the turtle sanctuary where we also got a wealth of information. I would rather spend the extra $ and book a trip with Melvin. It was was private and not overcrowded like many of the boats we saw. We made several stops and they were all enoyable.Written October 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- hoop_mplsEden Prairie, Minnesota3 contributionsWe had fun. The trip was definitely geared for a younger crowd but, we still made the best of it. Our guide, Manuel, was fabulous. He looked out for us and was extremely helpful with translation. We were one of just a few English speaking guests.Written May 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Christine MHarker Heights5 contributionsI would’ve easily given a 5 star review BUT, I feel as though we were taken advantage of- purchased the seafood plate and pi a coladas and didn’t receive any. Also purchased Mamajuana before going on the cruise and was directed to leave it and to pick up upon arrival- store was closed!

- Jet670738512323 contributionsOne of the best excursions I've ever been on. The crew was warm, friendly, and engaged. They personally guided us on each snorkeling outing. The food was freshly prepared and very bountiful. The boat itself was spacious, clean, and fun... with a slide and jump off at the top. Bonus on the underwater photos they took and provided for free.Written September 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Highly recommended tour when in Punta Cana.Written May 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Mail M2 contributionsWow. If you are ever thinking about booking this trip just do it. The communication was great. The private transportation was on time and the driver looked after us like family. The captain and first mate made sure we made the most of our day. Lunch was also great. Would book this again tomorrow.Written August 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
