It was an extraordinary exkursion to Saona island. Joy made us a wonderfull day and her team aranged a bbq on the boat while we enjoyed the island and were swimming/snorceling.
Just for us they searched and found a shallow place in the sea where they put an umbrella in the water whereunder we could stay for shadow.

Our day trip to Saono was stunning! Joy was a dream; ensuring the tour went smoothly, our family was comfortable, and she even peppered the excursion with interesting facts and history. She led our snorkeling outting, pointing out a nurse shark, lobsters, crabs, puffer fish, a sting ray, sea stars and more. Captain Omar was not only a skilled boat operator, but added an entertaining flare to our day with his DJ’ing and mixology abilities. Sebastian, the third crew member, grilled an entire delicious meal on the boat while our family swam in the Caribbean Sea. When we were called back to the boat to eat, we were greeted with tuna, shrimp, grilled veggies, and pasta! The coast on Saono island was gorgeous and filled with many picturesque photo-ops. The crew brought drinks, chips, and sandwiches so we could snack between swimming and playing on the beach. 10/10 experience. The sights, activities, music, food and drinks, and crew made this a day our family will never forget.

After a fantastic experience on the Quetzal catamaran last January we just had to come back with the rest of our family this year! We chose the private tour this year, Joy was helpful in tailoring the experience to our needs particularly around departure and arrival time and what we wanted from the day!

We were picked up promptly and driven to Bayahibe where the boat was ready for us. The boat is lovely clean and comfortable for up to 6 people. There is an option to play your own music however we opted for the captains playlist which was brilliant! The boat was very fast and a fun experience in itself, the captain even let us drive the boat on the way back!

During the day Joy provided us with information about the island, its wildlife and history of original settlers. We first stopped for snorkelling where we saw tropical fish, a nurse shark, sting rays and puffer fish! (Snorkels and fins are provided)

We then went on to the island where we enjoyed some free time in the sea walking along the island and enjoying beers and Joys signature cocktails! Saona island truly is paradise, the most beautiful beach any of us had seen with white sand and crystal clear water!

Finally we stopped at the natural pools to see the star fish in the still water, you were able to stand up in the shallow water for the most part if you are a less confident swimmer.

Sebastian made us a lovely lunch made fresh on the boat, grilled chicken and beef, pesto pasta avocado and chimichuri which we thoroughly enjoyed along with your choice of white or rose wine beer or rum!

Overall a fantastic day myself and the family will always remember. Joy even made us a video of the day with drone footage for us to keep and always remember such a special day!

Thank you team Quetzal!
Jessica & family!

This was the best day that we had on the island. From start to finish, Joy and her team went out of their way to accommodate us. The boat was exactly what the picture showed. they arranged pick up and drop off with a taxi who was going to be late to pick us up and they made other arrangements to get someone else to come get us so that we were not waiting. They were there to greet us as soon as we arrived they made sure that we weren’t hassled by vendors on the street, and they also gave us tips on the pricing if we did choose to purchase anything. They had sandwiches ready for us, when we arrived at Sonoma Island. And we opted to have a lunch prepared when we went to the natural springs. That area was so beautiful. Our granddaughter got seasick and we were supposed to have lunch on the boat but they set up a table on the beach so we ended up having lunch there ,beautiful the only issue we had is we asked for fish and shrimp burgers and hot dogs for the kids but it was over locked and they just gave us the standard lunch with chicken and beef with some pasta salad. They offered to refund the money immediately. However, the service was so good we didn’t mind. They even let the kids drive the boat on the way back which was an experience. They will never forget. If you’re considering using this company, I would highly recommend it , because they went above and beyond for us the entire trip well worth the money and it was a day that our family will cherish. Thank you Joy for making our day memorable and we will definitely use your services again if we return to Punta Cana. ❤️

Joy and Omar were amazing hosts. The entire day felt like we were on our own private tour because they did such a great job taking us secluded spots. The day had a great pace. I highly recommend this tour!
