I think is a good overall value for the costs. Communication was good, specially on the day of tour. We opted to just meet up directly with our guides, rather then be picked up. The journey to and from the island, does take a good amount of time. I would say around 4hrs, including boarding and de boarding. Did not have any problems with tour operators. Food and drinks at the island were okay. Not frills there. But again, taking into consideration cost. Is a good trade off.

We had a reservation with a tour company through your company. We were told to be at the lobby for 7am, which we were. Your tour arrived 45 minutes late with no apologies. There was no communication ahead of time so I reached out the night before over WhatsApp which the tour company corresponds through, no response back. Also, we noticed that the customers who reserved through the hotel got a better deal ($100 less then we paid) and better service.
Once we were on the island it was beautiful, however much to short.
On our way back to the hotel we were the only ones who were not driven to the lobby, we were literally stopped on the main road and told to get off on the main road, in the dark.

We booked this excursion on August 10th. We were excited to visit the island. They told us they would pick us up at 08:00 and they arrived at 08:30, then we crossed from Bahiabe by speedboat. We stopped to swim before reaching Saona Island where we had lunch and swam
On the shore there were several boats from different companies. After giving orders, the guide called people to leave. We left immediately. We were waiting for the shore of the beach. The guide never looked for us and they left without us!
We had to return with another company that had another name
We notified the operator that we had contracted
and he said he would call the guide
no one apologized to us
Because of the scare we went through, not very professional. Viatour already knew that he agreed with us and will reimburse us 50%

Poor experience on this occasion to see a beautiful setting. Company didn’t pick up as booked and when queried had gone to wrong hotel, taken following day so two early 7am starts. Nearly 4 hrs before setting sail after only one other pick up. Sell sell sell pics and banderos during sail. And after with your personalised group pic on a rum bottle for souvenir. Catamaran is crowded so get on a seat quick when boarding. Drinks are cheap rum & coke & soft only. Some party dancing and loud music. Stop in lagoon for swim and more pics. Then to island which is the gem and will be crowded out for lunch so hard to get a lounger. Food was nice , free soft drinks or cheap rum. Laze for a couple of hours and swim. Then while lying you will be shown pics and asked to buy at 55dollars. Worth a haggle perhaps. Return speadboat approx 30-40 mins jammed into seats like sardines in a tin. Return bus only 2hrs. Conclusion not wholly sure means justified the end. Knowing what I know I’ve done better boat trips and probably wouldn’t have signed up to this. But that’s hindsight, make your own choice. Best wishes

They cancelled the trip without any notice. We waited outside the hotel to be picked up. Could not reach anyone for a couple of hours. Finally when i talked to someone i was told the trip is cancelled and they will issue a refund. When i called yesterday, they told me I needed to contact the trip advisor for a refund as the booking was through them. Trip advisor said they will contact them to get the details. Still waiting on my refund.

The organizer of the tour was extremely rude. I have chat that shows how rude he was. He wanted to reschedule us because he overbooked. Then he told us it’s ok to come with our suitcase as we had checked out. The car came 30 mins late in early morning and that time they tell us we can’t take bags. So we were stranded. He put 15 people in a 8 car seater. On being confronted that you told us to bring luggage , he blames us that u were pressuring so I said yes to which we replied I had asked u twice there was no pressure and cuz of being asked twice why would u lie. He said are you gonna argue or come? He threatened that we can cancel ur booking . We think we were treated extremely badly and should get refund because he messed up big time. I have saved chats to back up all this. The amount of stress and inconvenience that was caused was unbelievable

Very mixed experience. The boat trip to the island was good with free drinks and music. The island itself was absolutely stunning and the buffet lunch was really tasty with lots of veggie options. However me and my friend were told that we would be leaving the island at 20 past 3 but when we came back to the main meeting spot just before 3, everyone had already left and we'd been left behind on the island. We're still not sure what happened, whether they decide to leave early, or if there was a mix up with the translation from Spanish to English as most everyone else on the trip spoke Spanish or a different language. We managed to get a lift on a boat with somebody else to the next stopping point and met up with the rest of our group then. It was also a long trip back to the hotel as they made us switch minibuses a few times. Overall I'd recommend the trip to the island but make sure you don't get left behind!
