The tour guides were great. The island was beautiful make sure you bring bug spray with you there are giant mosquitoes that want to eat you alive. The cameraman takes beautiful photos however he wants $500 for the photo shoot, and then he will harass you if you don't buy his pictures. The pictures were beautiful like I said but only worth $100-$150. And then after telling him that you're not going to buy his pictures he continues to knock prices down but at this point I was already so frustrated at hearing the first initial price and then the harassment. I went ahead and just said I actually don't want any photos. Make sure to bring your own snorkels or masks they do not supply them on the boat. Lunch was okay. Also the free drinks that are included on the trip maybe bring your own cup because they're very small. All in all it was a beautiful trip and like I said the tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable.

The Natural pool and the scenery at Saona Island were very beautiful and we enjoyed our experience. We rated 4 stars and not 5 just because the organization to transfer from one bus to another was not so smoothly in our way back, we had to look for our second driver and wait. Also the beach chairs at the Island need to be updated, they were very old and some of them broken.

Alex was an excellent tour guide! He gave much information about the surrounding area and the history of the Dominican Republic, and he greatly emphasized the importance of tourism to the Dominican economy. He was extremely kind and thoughtful and overall an amazing tour guide. The trip itself was so fun — my favorite part was the natural pool we stopped to swim in. The staff were very nice and came around to each group to check up and ask if we need any drinks. Overall it was an amazing experience due to the awesome staff and people they had around. Everyone had lots of fun! Especially me and my partner. We are looking forward to doing this again in the future.

Very early start to a long and eventful day, pick up very straight forward. All the staff were very friendly and helpful especially Alex and Juan our driver. Crazy speedboat ride to a fab sandbank for drinks in the sea then on to saona for the afternoon, the a very lively journey back on the catamaran. Great day.

Be prepared for about 100 people on the same bus going to the same tour. Our bus made multiple stops at resorts to pick up additional people. The trip from our resort took about one hour after everyone was picked up. They say that they take you to a nice Private beach in the Caribbean, but the beach is actually very dirty. There wasn’t enough chairs for everyone. There was an outhouse that you could use. It was very dirty. I definitely would never go back there. I think most people who found this beautiful, apparently have never been in the Caribbean anywhere else. The boat that they took us on was very crowded. Then we went to somewhere that they called playing with the starfish. They let us all off in a shallow Clearwater section and there were two starfish. The photographer on the boat is independent and he will try to take photos of everyone to sell it to you later. Don’t fall for this. We all have cell phone cameras if we want pictures. Then they took us to what they called the blue lagoon island. This was nothing more than Caribbean water. They did have a buffet that they served for lunch. The flies were so terrible that it was difficult to eat without swatting flies away constantly. We had to wait for about 30 minutes before the food was actually ready. The food there that they serve was acceptable. And then we took another boat back to the dock. Loud music was playing with dancing. They placed bandannas on our heads. And then came back around and asked for money for the bandannas. If you said no, they took them off your head. I’m assuming these get reused for the next tour. That was kind of gross. All in all what I do it again? Absolutely not
