Irresponsible Enterprise
Enterprise has no commitment to the client, be careful to hire, we bought two tours one to Isla Saona and another to Santo Domingo, the one from Isla Saona was a disappointment, and Santo Domingo left us waiting for an hour at the reception of the resort and we only knew that the tour had been cancelled for reason because we contacted them to know about the delay, only there they told us that the tour was cancelled. about the Isla Saona tour, a fiasco, the transfer catches at the resort, leads to another transfer quite far away, which takes about more than an hour only for transfer exchange and wait for other tourists to board, then catches a lanch, slow, which takes a lifetime to get to the Isla, arriving there only gives time to pay a queue to catch a bad lunch, and it is already time to go away without having seen anything from the Isla, that will still catch the transfer back from the Isla, nothing, on the way back, comes in a catamaran, with a very loud song with people drinking and shouting and rebounding in your face, an endless horror, and before disembarking boat exchange again all the way tumultured, to get to the point of landing, that will still catch the transfer back to the hotel at night, a walk that is not worth, about Santo Domingo, the tour was canceled, without notice to Sunday, they promised to send us an email, and they didn't have the same question. Definitely, I do not recommend the Brazilian Tour, be careful.

Disappointed with the Enterprise!
Unfortunately not for the place, pq we took 3 flights to know Punta cana especially the island Saona. We made contact with the Enterprise well before the trip and scheduled several tours, our luck was that Saona Island was the first. It's hard to report everything that happened, the disorganization before getting to the place of boarding on the boat, to the main point. Our tour was bought in a group of boat boats, but the sailor who took us to the island was extremely antipathetic, spent much of the time sailing as support for other boats and when he arrived on the island said "I will not take them back" that is, we were left on the island. Tensus we found nothing and no one to help, I called the Enterprise who told me that we would be back at 3pm. At this time all going and we without knowing who to turn to, finally, arranged 8 spaces in a crowded boat. As if there was little tension the sea was very agitated and we almost did not suffer an accident. After the panic, I spent 1 hour behind the Enterprise car to return to the hotel. I was extremely sad and disappointed. I canceled all the tours. We decided to do things by taxi.

IRRESPONSIBLE ENTERPRISE THAT HAS NO COMMITMENT TO THE CUSTOMER.
We hired this tour Enterprise for a tour with a group of 08 people (04 couples), initially when we listed the Enterprise informed that because it was a relatively large group the tour would be almost exclusive, because we chose to make the tour to Saona Island on a fast boat, our disappointment already started on the exit, because the captain of our boat decided to accompany a catamaran boat from the same Enterprise that was super crowded, this catamaran boat was stopping with problems of super crowding and our boat stopping and leaning together, until they decided to make a division in the boats in the middle of the sea backed the boat and left passing from one boat to the other. However, the commander was rude, did not give us importance and when arriving at the final destination (Saona Island) spoke out loud and good sound that would not take us back and we were pleased to find out with whom we would return, it was terrifying, we stood behind the guide (ALEX) who was visibly drunk and at the end put us in the super crowded boat. We were already exhausted and all we wanted was to return to the hotel safely, which didn't happen, the boat group wanted to stay a few minutes in the natural pools (which is in the middle of the journey), until then everything was fine, we were going "in favor" with that group, but at the end of that bath, the commander hastened too much and the boat almost didn't turn with all the passengers, my sister who suffers from anxiety was in a state of panic. After that trip with this Enterprise, we don't hire any more programs. IT WAS AWFUL!!! WE DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tour to Saona Island: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Punta Cana.
How much does Tour to Saona Island cost?
+
Prices start at $37 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 Tour to Saona Island take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Tour to Saona Island worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 12 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 Tour to Saona Island?
+
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 Tour to Saona Island suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tour to Saona Island?
+
Around 4 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tour to Saona Island 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, Off Road Buggy Adventure. 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.
