There is much to do, but the inviting, soft white-sand beaches are perfect for travelers seeking relaxation.

We had a great day touring the turquoise waters of the Dominican Republic on this first class boat. The crew and Joy all wanted to make sure we had the best time and were very communicative when booking. We had an on-time pickup at our hotel that brought us to the meeting point where we were met by Joy right away and given an overview for what to expect for the day. There is a lot of time to enjoy the boat and lay out on the nets at the front of the boat, and also a good amount of activities such as snorkeling and exploring Soana Island for an hour. The meal included was delicious! You wont regret booking this excursion, many of the other tours we saw were crammed with people and did not look nearly as relaxing as this tour. It can have up to 30 people, but we only had 10 people on our tour.

Trip was amazing. Tour guides were very good. We had fun at the natural pool, and Saona island. Lunch offer was good. Catamaran ride was really fun. The only bad thing was that we had to wait almost an hour for our ride back, as it wasn't well organized, so we thought we will be stuck there, and our resort was more than an hour away. Instead of coming back at 6pm, we arrived at 8 to the resort.

Our National Park of the East private nature tour gets you away from the hustle and bustle and into pristine forest with the best local nature guides around. Our 1.5 hour nature walk takes you through one of the most pristine forests in the Dominican Republic and visits several caves, one of which you can go swimming in. Our adventure begins on the outskirts of the quiet fishing town of Bayahibe, where people have lived and fished for over 1,000 years. Once in the area we set out on a light hike into the beautiful National Park of the East, a vast dry tropical forest and one of the largest parks in the country. We spend the morning exploring the trails and then swimming at a spectacular cave just off trail. Next, we enjoy a delicious Dominican style lunch prepared by a local family in the nearby sea side community of Bayahibe. After lunch we explore the beautiful village a bit and take you to some of our favorite spots in town before heading back.

I took two tours with Manny of Exlora Ecotours while in the Dominican Republic in early February. One was a solo private birding tour and the other was a visit to two rivers and waterfalls with my wife. Manny knows his birds! I saw many of the indigenous species and he was very good at knowing when and where to find them. My wife and I enjoyed the waterfall walks very much. We had lunch at a very nice lodge and the food was great.

Where do I even start? This was a birthday day out that completely ruined a birthday for someone special. We paid $158 for a catamaran which was supposed to include food (chicken skewers, potato salad, snack) and an open bar amongst things that should have been common sense like SEATING, a relaxed yet fun day and actual space to roam aboard. None of that was provided. We had to reach out the morning of for someone to pick us up from our hotel. The excursion didn’t start at 2pm, started after 3pm. As soon as we got dropped off at the location it was complete chaos. We weren’t told who to speak to where to go.. there were just crowds of confused people just following others. They basically gathered loads of people (during Covid) all together and I mean LOADS of people onto four boats lined up and they PACKED those boats to and beyond full capacity (during Covid). We pulled off with people having no where to sit and I do mean no where to sit so lots of people had to stand. Couples were sitting on top of each other and to make matters worse after we were some yards out two more small boats pulled up dropping even more people onto the boat! None of the food promised was provided so we arrived hungry and didn’t eat until after we got back to our hotel. Someone walked around with a small plate of watermelon and pineapples for people to grab from. There was no open bar just two jars of juice that everyone had to pour from. Apparently govt shut down alcohol being served on the boat the day before so we couldn’t argue with that but none of the pictures of anything that said was included was provided. Even after coming back ashore again there was no guidance. We had to go ask how are we supposed to get back and we were then told where to go. This company is just in it for the money. They don’t care about the experience you receive, your comfort level, your safety or your health. Not to mention we weren’t even directed to where life jackets on the boat were in case of an emergency. I took videos of the crowds and multiple boats coming to drop more people onto the boat but TripAdvisor only allows you to upload photos. I have been on multiple catamarans in beautiful places and this excursion was the worst excursion even outside of catamarans that I have ever experienced. We even overheard others saying they only paid $40 to board while we paid $79/each for this horrible experience. We will be requesting a refund for the time, birthday and money wasted.

4.5 based on 11 reviews
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 (we require minimum 6 adults) helping you saving at least 2-3 hours compared with the regular tour with the advantage of a late pick up (8:30am) and a early drop off (around 5:30pm). You'll have also a private guide just for you!
Inclusions: Private transportation in comfortable van with a/conditioning, Catamaran and speedboat ride to Saona Island, Tour guide, Lunch buffet style at Saona Island, Rum Drinks (OPEN BAR all day long) and beer at the island, Animation
