Save time on vacation! Saona Island is certainly one of the best places to visit in the Dominican Republic and due to its popularity many people every day go to Saona to spend one day in paradise. This tour is very popular but, because of that, customers have to face many pick ups and drop offs from the different hotels, spending several hours on the bus. With this tour we offer you the chance to avoid this problem. In fact you're gonna reach Bayahibe (where the boats leave to Saona) in a private van, just for your group helping you saving at least 2-3 hours compared with the regular tour with the advantage of a late pick up (8:00am) and a early drop off (around 5:00pm).
Rum Drinks (OPEN BAR all day long) and beer at the island

This was a spectacular tour. We cant say enough good about the tour and especially our personal guide Alexandra. If you have a chance to book this tour, ask for her. You will not be disappointed. We will be returning to Punta Cana in February. We will definitely do this tour again.

SAONA ISLAND CLASSIC TOUR IN SPEEDBOAT & CATAMARAN: Great tour all together. Highly recommend the private transfer to save time. Alexandra our private guide was amazing and very helpful all through the day. 5 stars for her and our driver. Four stars overall is due to the extremely long day and mostly travel of this tour. It was almost a two hour drive each way from our resort to the port. The boat rides were nice but also long, especially the Catermaran. We only had about two hours on the island including lunch. All of the staff did a great job, but this long trip and multiple legs may not be for everyone. If you have any mobility issues I would highly discourage. Otherwise a good time if you want to see the Dom. Rep. countryside, local port and get out on the water and enjoy boat rides. Overall a fun time, but a little exhausting.
