No Altos de Chavon

A stop in a "natural pool" next to the natural park was nice. The island of Saona is magnificent. Never went to Altos de Chavon. Stopped in a small souvenir shop which was not necessary.

Saona island.

Nice trip but mass produced and consumed. Numerous bus transfers with some confusion. Service people (guides bartenders marineros dancers) were all attentive. Lunch was ok quality. Our buses brakes caught fire on the way back but the driver recovered quickly and impressed transportation for us back to our stop.

Amazing day!

This was an amazing trip. Full day of fun. Benjamin is by far the best daddy out there!! He made sure we were taken care of all day long. Would have been nice to have a little more time on altos de chavron to explore. Natural pool and saona island some of the most beautiful things I have ever seen!! The crew on the boat keeps everyone feeling alive. Only complaint is time spent on bus and switching busses back and forth. But still very organized!! Would definitely do this trip again. Worth every penny!! Thank you Benjamin “big daddy” you were amazing!!!

DO NOT BOOK THIS TRIP!!!!!!!

I waited since 6:30 AM to be picked up they did not show up till almost 8 to collect me. Lied and said they came and I was not there. When we arrived at the bus I was traveling with my 8 year old son. All the seats were taking as they tend to double book and there were no two sits together. I said if I am not sitted with my son I can’t go. “Big papi” told me I needed to call a cab and money will not be refunded to me. Thank god someone gave up their seat and my 9 year old and I were able to seat together. The trip was overbooked, badly advertise they do not take you to Altos de Chavon first as advertise is done at the end of the tour. The side in isla saona that they rent is the ugly side, the left over from more reputable tours.i should have known something was wrong since they lied about picking me up and the concierge in my hotel also advised against them. DO NOT BOOK WITH THESE PEOPLE.
