Saona Island highlights boat tour with buffet lunch

Loved this trip. The stop off at natural parque too was amazing. Our tour guide Ruben was fantastic

The island was nice. It’s portrayed that it’s a whole day on the island but it really isn’t. We were the last hotel that got picked up and that was at 07:40 we didn’t get on the island until 13:40. That’s 6 hours travelling to the island with a tour guide which was advertised as English, but spoke Spanish all day with the occasional bit of English. Tour guide said to meet at 15:30 at the food area to get picked up and he left on the first boat without telling any of the English where to go.

The activity itself was okey. The food was nice and the drinks were lacking and very low quality. Me and my sister were with the group or the guide called Danilo ‘ the president’ this person left us stranded at the end of the activity, we were supposed to stop to buy some souvenirs before finishing the day and when we came back from the shopping he left with the rest and me and my sister were alone by ourselves not knowing what to do next, who to call, where we are or anything . Horrible day.

We enjoyed the beach there. That first stop at the natural pool however, was a very scary experience as the water was not shallow for us (being on the shorter side). Had to literally tip toe to keep head above water. Guide was not paying much attention to those getting off the boat into the water. We got some assistance though, thanks to other tourists. And got help from the photographer getting back on to boat. Both me and my mom hit our thighs on the stairs trying to get back on

Perfect day full of lovely surprises staff doing sea walk kept us very safe and had lots of patience loved every second just wish they had better food

Ruben, the tour guide was great.
