Super fun, great vibes and a beautiful opportunity to see Saona Island - wish we had more time on the island itself though but still incredible

Such an amazing excursion! My sister and I absolutely loved it! Our guide Raymond was great! The beach on Saona island is absolutely beautiful and the buffet lunch was very good! I highly recommended booking this tour if you’re going to Punta Cana!
