Overpriced for what you really get. Not all inclusive
Hired this supposed to be “small group” tour to Saona Island, we were a party of 5 Pick up was delayed due to miscommunication with driver and picked us up by 8AM in a van only to take us to a Gift Shop where we boarded a minibus (capacity of Aprox 25 pax), with another 30 people in total extremely uncomfortable conditions, for a 90’ ride. We boarded a speedboat to board a Catamaran. Inside the catamaran, we had a very nice photo shoot (additional price of USD2.00/picture) and we were supposed to have a free bar included, however this only consisted of Water, Rum, Sprite and Regular Coke served in 3oz disposable plastic cups. We arrived at Saona Island by noon, and had a 2 hour layover. A Full Buffet was supposed to be included, however only Pasta with Tomato Sauce, Chicken, Pork chop and Rice with seafood were available as mains, potato and cabbage as salads and only pineapple for dessert. Beer was sold for another USD8.00 and a glass of white wine was sold for an aditional USD35,00 (extremely overpriced), Coke, Rum, Sprite and water were available “free of charge” The beach was beautiful, blue-turquoise water with barely any waves, very nice for spending the day, in fact we would’ve appreciated if we could stay longer than 2 hours. We then left for the “sea-star pool” (none were there), and we spent only 15 minutes there only for swimming and taking pictures. We then headed back in a speed boat to Bayahibe, our departure location, only to arrive soaking wet due to a storm we had while sailing, the speedboat did not have any kind of ceiling. Upon arrival in Bayahibe we boarded the same bus that took us from Punta Cana, and when we were arriving in Punta Cana, the driver decided to split us into two groups, being the mayority of the bus going to 2 resorts, he made us deboard and tried to forcefully make us board a mini van with capacity of 10 pax (the ones heading to 2 of the resorts, were about 18 people). In conclusion: Saona Island is beautiful and worth visiting, however this Tour Operator (Turcana) made the experience very unpleasant in what regards to the Transportation and not delivering what they promise on the website. I think it is extremely overpriced for what you really get.
Response from the operator: Dear: Marin, We regret his comment about the Saona tour, however, we want to clarify some points of his comment. Because it seems to us that you are confusing our description with that of another product that you probably saw on some platform. Firstly, no one has a tour of Saoan for 5 or 6 people, unless it is private. In our description, we clearly inform you that it is up to 80 people. In our description, we talk about open bar drinks (not premium drinks or wine) The trip from Punta Cana to Bayahibe is approximately 90 minutes as we describe it in the information and as you confirm in your comments. The photo session is optional, if the client wants it he can purchase it, in the tour description we specify that photos is not including -exclusion part-. (the tour does not include a photo) On the catamaran or in the crystal glass is not safe because can be danger, that why all boar activities used it. The tour includes typical Dominican food on the beach in Dominican style, and we gave them that, just as you mention. The tour does not include a bottle of beer, or wine (at not point in the tour is a bottle of beer or glass of wine mentioned. On the island, which is public, it is available to everyone who visits the island if they want to buy it. No necessary if you don’t want because you have your drink including you can buy. (it’s no part of us, it’s a shop independent for who want it) Time on the island is approximately 3 hours, and we gave them that. In the natural pool 45 minutes. Speed boat is part of the attraction of the El Splash water, that what mean speed boat. The entire Saona excursion uses a support vehicle to pick up the clients and take them to the base to leave in a single bus, otherwise the pick-up would last 4 hours, and on the way back we stop at the base and to distribute the clients in different bus, otherwise it will arrive at the last hotel at 11 at night. Certainly, the pick-up time was at 07:30am and the bus picked you up 25 minutes later, for which we personally apologized to you via telephone. We are very sorry for your comment; however, we believe that it is different from all the clients who participated in the tour that day. All the guest that participate on the tour were happy with the service, because we give them exactly what is in the tour description.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-Day Saona Island Tours All Inclusive: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Punta Cana.
How much does Full-Day Saona Island Tours All Inclusive cost?
+
Prices start at $89 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Punta Cana usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full-Day Saona Island Tours All Inclusive take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Punta Cana is not rushed.
Is Full-Day Saona Island Tours All Inclusive worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Punta Cana, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Saona Island Tours All Inclusive?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full-Day Saona Island Tours All Inclusive suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Saona Island Tours All Inclusive?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Punta Cana can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Punta Cana and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Saona Island Tours All Inclusive start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Punta Cana within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Punta Cana?
+
On Outty we rank every Punta Cana experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Punta Cana Zipline - 8 lines and a suspenseful hanging bridge, Punta Cana Buggy or ATV Tour with Macao Beach, Cave and Tastings, Buggy Excursion to Macau Beach and Natural Cave. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Punta Cana?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Punta Cana?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
