Before you go to any excursion in Punta Cana or Bahayibe check if your agency works with this boat company COSTA ROMÂNTICA (romantic coast). For me and my friends was NIGHTMARE COST, the worse excursion I have ever done in my life. In 12 hours we only spent around 2 in the island. The boat was very slow and the staff incredibly nasty and arrogant. The worse was the music, not only bad but extremely loud. Almost everybody was complaining about the absurd loud sound, but the crew was just ignoring. Was almost 3 hours to go and 3 to come back listening a very loud and poor quality sound. Costumer service and satisfaction was TOTALY ignored. It was suppose to be a relaxing Caribbean excursion, but instead was a torture. A boat terrible experience louder than a disco (and I love discos) The food in the island horrible and without higiene. And there is no Corona care at all in that place. So, AVOID any trip with this company, check before what boat company your promoter or agency travel will use and run away if it is this one. I cannot say if all the “Saona excursions” was like these, but we hated. The island is beautiful but not amazing for all this bad experience. If you really wanna visit I totaly recommend renting a private boa and bringing your own food. In the end of the day we spent money, time, patience and were totaly exposed to corona virus risks for a place and experience that was not worth it.

This is the second trip that we've done tours with Explora Eocotour. The reason we've contacted them is we loved the first tour so much and this time once again Manny did not disappoint. The tour was beautiful, super fun and interesting. We went swimming on a private wild beach, went swimming in an ancient underground cave, took a hike and had lunch cooked by a local fisherman's family. The guide has deep knowledge and love of the local area and the environment. If you are looking to see places off the beaten path this company is definitely the one to go with. Cannot wait to try out another destination with Explora Ecotour next time we visit
