Punta Cana: Catamaran Boat to Saona Island with Buffet Lunch

1.Catamaran Boat to Saona Island with Buffet Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 3,822 reviews · 8 hours · from $82Our pick

Review of Punta Cana’s Saona Island catamaran tour, with speedboat thrills, a starfish pool, buffet lunch, open bar, timing, and value tips.

“A wonderful experience. Our guide Christian was wonderful, it is clear that he has a lot of experience. It really takes a long time to get from the resorts in Punta Cana to Saona Island, but it is worth it. The food on the island is not great, but it is ok. I recommend you bring water and some food/nibbles with you.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,401 reviews · from $99Top rated

Review of Punta Cana’s small-group catamaran tour, with snorkeling, a sandbar floating bar, hotel pickup, drinks, snacks, and a 16-person limit.

“We had a fantastic snorkeling adventure with David & Manatee Mike!! They were expert hosts and made it a great experience. We were lucky enough to be the only two on the boat, so we got to talk to them more. The fresh guacamole, fruit, and drinks were amazing. Have David make you a pineapple margarita, it is delicious! We did two stops at a snorkel spot where we saw tons of fish and then at a sandbar where we got to hang out and relax. The tour ended with an opportunity to shop. Would definitely book this tour again. It was our favorite we’ve done in DR.”

“This excursion was well worth every penny. You may notice that it is more expensive than others, but I promise that you will not be disappointed. The tour is capped at ~30 people while others pack you in like sardines. We had a beautiful boat and an excellent crew, all while having so much room to spread out on the boat. Our pickup was on time and we were briefed before getting on the boat. Lola was our guide for the day and she was EXCELLENT! We couldn't ask for a better guide. She was so personable and friendly, and made sure that everyone was well taken care of. Enrique…”

“While my family and I had a wonderful day, we did not take pictures because there was a photographer on the boat who did a great job taking pictures of all the wonderful moments that my almost 80yo dad had with all of his daughters and grandchildren. Upon arrival back at the beach, we immediately paid for the pictures to arrive on CD at our resort and it was never delivered. I have been now trying for 3 weeks to get the pictures emailed to me and I have received nothing. They will no longer even receive my calls, and all I want is the pictures from the day we…”
