Saona, Mano Juan, Canto de la playa away from the tourist crowds

This excursion is more expensive than others, but absolutely worth it if you can afford it. We were with about 20 people on a spacious boat, visiting stunning, less touristy spots. Drinks were plentiful, and lunch was fresh and tasty. First stop: a small village with souvenirs and fresh lobster. Then we relaxed on a secluded beach — no other tourists, just turquoise water and perfect snorkeling. It felt like Pirates of the Caribbean. Later we spotted turtles in a natural reserve and swam in a breathtaking natural pool in the middle of the sea. The staff is super enthusiastic and speaks fluent English. A photographer is present all day capturing the experience, and photos are sold at a fair price. If you’re looking for a Saona Island excursion, this one is worth every euro. Don’t go for the cheaper overcrowded options. This one is truly exclusive. To the staff: thank you for an unforgettable day! P.S. The photos I uploaded were taken quickly by me during the trip. My girlfriend took much better ones, these are just quick snapshots in between.

We were on our honeymoon and had such a great time. Christian, Vicki, and Greg were amazing tour guides. We loved being on the boat and seeing the baby turtles. Lunch was so tasty. We partied on the boat the whole time. So fabulous.

My boyfriend and I (both 21) had an amazing time with Dominican Attitude on our Saona Attitude excursion! The office team was so helpful and kind, and the boat crew was equally as amazing. The staff overall was not only professional and organized but genuinely warm, welcoming, and full of great energy. The boat ride was beautiful, with music, drinks, and lots of laughter. We stopped at a stunning natural pool to swim with starfish, which was magical. Saona Island itself was breathtaking—white sand, crystal-clear turquoise water, and a delicious Dominican lunch under the palm trees. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable about the area but made it fun at the same time. If you're in the Dominican Republic and looking for an unforgettable day trip, book this tour without hesitation. It was the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and island paradise. Thank you, Dominican Attitude, for making our vacation so special!

Have you ever seen a pink sand beach, watched green turtles swim in the ocean, seen starfish along the clearest turquoise water? This is hands down the best eco tour I’ve ever done. I travel about 200 days a year between work and vacation and for the first time, I’ve found a place I must return to and a tour that I will do again. The staff and crew at Dominican Attitude take care of you and every detail start to finish. Delicious local rum and light beer to enjoy along with traditional Dominican lunch served al fresco on a beautiful beach in a quaint village with market. The souvenirs are all hand made by locals. Also, so many snacks! The boat crew an absolute delight and fun with music and dancing. Cannot recommend this enough. You will be part of the familia on this excursion.

It’s simply the best excursion tour that I’ve been on. Christian and the crews loves what they do and it truly shows. They were fun to be with, lively and informative. They operate a large speed boat so the ride was smooth and we get there with plenty of time to do things and enjoy each stops. My favorite stop was the snorkeling which was better than my last Bahamas blue lagoon snorkeling. The food they feed us were really good especially the fried fish and chicken. It’s way better than the Bahia resort beach cafe honestly. And they got a ridiculous amount of sodas and alcohol. They are pricier than average excursion tours but they’re absolutely worth it. I highly recommend the Dominican Attitude.

It was truly an amazing experience! Everything was just perfect. The crew was so nice, fun and helpful. The views were breathtaking, lunch on the beach was very pleasing and Saona itself - you need to see it! We loved that it was not crowded, there was a chance to see island in its pure beauty. There was enough time for all the activities, the schedule of the trip was planned perfectly. 10/10!

Everything was excellent – the trip, communication, quality of experiences, the guide and staff, and the amazing food. By far the best tour I have experienced during my travels to the Dominican Republic.

It’s our third time visiting Saona with Dominican Attitude and each year the team makes from this excursion an unforgettable experience. In 20 years travelling in Rep Dom, we rarely saw a team so professional and enthusiastic. Perfect organisation, excellent food, beautiful boat with toilets, small groups, far away from industrial excursions. If you want to combine the Dominican way of life with the safety of an experienced team organising tours in the Bayahibe area with the highest quality standards and low prices, then choose Dominican Attitude, definitely the best !

This was a fantastic day. We were always ahead of our away from the crowd. We saw beautiful starfish and sea turtles swimming by our boat! The Dominican lunch on the beach was delicious. My mom has mobility issues and they took care of her every stop. Great people, beautiful locations, and just an amazing day at sea!

This was an excellent excursion. We made 3 stops to see a fishing village in Saona that also had a turtle sanctuary. Then we snorkeled in the reefs near Saona and saw turtles and starfish in the wild near the coast. Logistics and communication were great — highly recommend to families with older kids (6+) because it is a long day. Our 7 year old had a blast, even with all of the adults. They do take photos of you and serve drinks, so bring some cash for tips. Five stars all around to Christian and his crew!
