Excellent all-around.
Very well ran excursion from pick-up to drop-off. Organized, clean, friendly and informative. The time spent at each stop was ample and Saona was beautiful. Top notch.

Beautiful Island
Definitely a great day trip. Took 2.5 hours just to get to the boat head's up! Also if you want to snorkel that won't happen until the very end of the trip and make sure you tell your tour guide you want to do it. The natural pool was very beautiful and we got some great pics! The food served on the beach was very good. The beach area is beautiful! Bring some cash for super cheap suveniors!
