An unforgettable experience. Our guide, Christel, was very kind and explained the entire route leading to Saona Island. The catamaran was a blast. Highly recommended Punta Cana Adventures.

We had an amazing time. Tour guide was very attentive and made sure our group arrived early at Saona before the crowds and that we had a nice speedboat with shade covering everyone. He also made sure we got on the catamaran first to get the best seats before another group joined us. The only thing that I would caution is transferring in the ocean from the speedboat to the catamaran while the boat is rocking due to the waves but they were really helpful and had a technique to make sure folks of all shapes and sizes could make it across safely. The buffet on the island was delicious! Overall it was a great experience!

Our trip with Punta Cana Adventures on the party boat/catamaran was so much fun and it was the best part of mine and our entire groups trip. We stayed at one of the excellence resorts which was about 30 minutes away from the boat and they sent a very nice shuttle to pick us up from our resort and drop us off after. The three people running the boat, one being Jose, were amazing, so much fun, and made us all feel very safe. I highly recommend!!

It’s an absolute must to see this island. It’s and hour ride there and they explain some history to you. Crystal the hostess was amazing and spoke every language there was on board. Then you get on the boat to the island. I think it was about 30-45 mins in the speedboat. Bring cash to the island for tipping and they have massages and drinks/souvenirs. Or you can drink the rum that’s included in your trip. There was supposed to be beer but I was told no. No big deal. You get to stop at natures swimming pool before the island. There’s nothing it. Bring bug spray. The bathroom on the island has skeeters , ALOT of skeeters. They provide a bbq lunch. It was delicious no complaints. The photographer takes pics of you in the water and in the beach if you like for a price. Like I said earlier bring cash. He does a great job as well. Then You head home on the catamaran with music and drinks. We napped lol. It’s a long day but it’s absolutely worth it. Bring snacks cause they pick you up before breakfast is served

Great experience. The speed boat, the time on the sandbar, the food, the breathtaking Saona island & beach, and the party on the catamaran were all perfect. We would definitely do this day trip again.

We had an absolutely amazing time on the Saona Island day trip with Punta Cana Adventures! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Our guide was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable, making sure everyone felt comfortable and had fun throughout the day. The catamaran ride was a highlight – great music, dancing, and an open bar that added to the festive Caribbean vibe. Saona Island itself is breathtaking – white sandy beaches, crystal-clear turquoise water, and stunning natural beauty. The lunch on the beach was delicious and plentiful, with something for everyone. We truly enjoyed every moment and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Punta Cana. Thank you, Punta Cana Adventures, for an unforgettable experience!

We had a great experience with Punta Cana Adventures from start to finish. They were very helpful with booking online and even provided a discount. Very prompt when we were at the resort pick up on time and the excursions itself were beyond amazing and staff was very friendly and helpful. They mad out vacation 10 times better. We did the scape park combo with dun buggy's and it was so much fun and the sight was beautiful and had so much things to do. We also did the combo with parasailing party boat and snorkeling and had a blast with that as well. We will definitely book with them again!

My group of 10 went on the private catamaran tour for 5 hours. I can say it was the best experience we’ve ever had. The crew on the boat were extremely friendly and made the trip super enjoyable. The snorkeling was amazing as well! If you want a good time this is the excursion for you.
