Amazing tour!!!
We had an amazing time!!! From our journey to the Bayahibe Beach, to entering the catamaran, to being on the island was overall great. The tour guides were also respectful, fun and entertaining!

Excellent 👌
Loved it! The beautiful island, all right, the punctual pickup and the very friendly guides, would do it again.

Unforgettable
Magnificent, unforgettable natural pool, loved it. And the island a paradise on earth. The guides' attention very good I will return to my family.
Response from the operator: Gracias por su opinión, nos compromete a mantener la calidad y a mejorar cada día más

Bad experience
Terrible experience. Very disorganized from the beginning, transportation is shared with guests of all resorts, leaves at 7 am and until 1 pm arrives to the Island. On the way back, we got into a speedboat as the guide told us but it turns out that was not our boat and nobody told us anything. Because of this, we couldn't go to the natural pool. I would not do this tour again and I also do not recommend this agency to anyone.
Response from the operator: Lamentamos que tenga esa percepción y además que no reconozca que usted se apartó del grupo contrario a las indicaciones dadas y que por ello fue que no asistió a lapiscina natural. En cuanto a recoger las personas, mal haríamos ofreciendo recogida en los hoteles si no hiciéramos esa eecogida.

Very disrespectful and unprofessional
I’m rated this tour as a 2 only because the island and the natural pool visits were beautiful. I felt safe at both places and would revisit them. However, the guide was not pleasant and we didn’t understand him when he spoke. I am fluent in English and Spanish and I still couldn’t make out what he was saying. The driver was so disrespectful to the guide and the entire group. The bus was running and we kept knocking on the door ready to head out.. Finally after 15-20 mins he opened the door along with a female companion. We are all adults and we know exactly what they were doing. Very unprofessional

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Saona Island Tour from Punta Cana with Lunch, Open Bar & Pickup: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Punta Cana.
How much does Saona Island Tour from Punta Cana with Lunch, Open Bar & Pickup cost?
+
Prices start at $69 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 Saona Island Tour from Punta Cana with Lunch, Open Bar & Pickup take?
+
Plan for about 8.6 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 Saona Island Tour from Punta Cana with Lunch, Open Bar & Pickup worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.2/5 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 Saona Island Tour from Punta Cana with Lunch, Open Bar & Pickup?
+
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 Saona Island Tour from Punta Cana with Lunch, Open Bar & Pickup suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8.6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Saona Island Tour from Punta Cana with Lunch, Open Bar & Pickup?
+
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 8.6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Saona Island Tour from Punta Cana with Lunch, Open Bar & Pickup 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.
