★★★★★★★★★★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.”

“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…”

Spend a full day from Punta Cana visiting Altos de Chavón, sailing to Saona Island, swimming in a natural pool, and enjoying lunch.

“I absolutely loved this activity. We had so much fun, the tour guides were full of energy and had us dancing all the way. Saona Island is a must, the water colors are spectacular. Altos de Chavon is so beautiful, it does transport you to a European city, I only wish they had given us a little bit of time to wonder the place on our own as well. I wish I had gotten to see the museum.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 274 reviews · 8 - 10 hours · from $75

Review of Punta Cana’s Saona Island day trip, with speedboat, natural pool, beach time, buffet lunch, drinks, and catamaran return.

“The excursion was everything we could have hoped for and more! It was a little tricky finding the meet-up point as we walked to Bayahibe, however I’m sure if you were picked up it would be very easy and simple. The staff and vibes on the catamaran there were excellent. The island is so pretty and stopping at the natural swimming pool was a nice touch. I would highly recommend this particular excursion for anyone who wishes to do Saona Island. Shout out to Black Sexy Banana ( tour guide ), he was amazing.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 260 reviews · from $71

Saona Island cruise from Punta Cana with speedboat, natural pool, barbecue lunch, rum, and a lively catamaran return.

“Speed boat out was fun. Snorkeling was very basic. Didn’t see many fish. Natural swimming pool was a big bunch of boats hanging out in some shallow water. The island itself was beautiful but so overtaken by tourists and boats it was hard to enjoy. The catamaran back was long and very loud with drunk people so not ideal for families. Photography guys were nice but tried to charge us an arm and a leg for the photos.”
