My friend and I booked this tour with Leandro and had an amazing time. Well worth the early start where we were picked up at 7:30 from our hotel in Punta Cana. Everything was well organized and communicated before, during and after the trip. Despite some rain during our trip the overall experience of this tour will be unforgettable. Finally I would like to mention our fantastic tour guide Leandro who was brilliant, giving us lots of information and facts about each destination and really making sure we got the best of our experience and time at each stop. Also a shout out to the rest of the screw on the Island and on the boat who were very friendly and kind. A bonus was Leandro's sense of humor which had all of us laughing.

We were picked up from our hotel at 7:05am - we then traveled for around an hour to pick up people from an additional 2 hotels that appeared to be in the opposite direction to the Beach. I understand that it's a tour for many people, however, it does seem a little crazy to go completely out of the way to pick people up on the tour. After about 1hr15 of travelling, we were taken down a track to a building in case we needed to use 'the toilet'. When we arrived here, there was a man stood staring at us & smiling with a double barrel shotgun, clearly finding it amusing that we were intimidated. Honestly, if we weren't so far from our hotel & in the middle of no-where, I would have asked to leave the tour then & there, as I felt very uneasy - but we had no way of getting back to our hotel & I didn't fancy staying anywhere near the man with the gun. We were then all told to get off the bus & given colored stickers to distinguish us against the other tourist groups also dropped off there & encouraged to go spend money in the tourist shop - at this point, all we wanted to do was get to our excursion, especially after over an hour of travelling, however, we were left for 20 minutes to look round the shop. Finally, we were allowed to get back onto the mini bus & got back on route. After another hour of travelling, we finally got to Bahibe beach (around 9.15am) & were dropped off on the beach. Rodriguez, our tour guide, said we needed to wait 5 minutes & then we would be on our way - he then subsequently disappeared & could be seen eating his breakfast across the other side of the Beach with the other tour guides. We were all left in the direct sunlight standing up & were all being constantly harassed by the guys selling things on the Beach - there were a couple of elderly people also on the tour that could be seen struggling, however, none of us were offered refreshments, water, etc. At around 10am (45 minutes after waiting) we were bought closer to the sea, but other tour groups constantly kept leaving infront of us - however, we were all patient as they were all leaving on Speedboats & we had a catamaran booked so assumed that was causing the hold up. At 10.10am, we saw a couple asking Rodriguez where our Catamaran was... it was only at this point that he announced we would be 'getting the Catamaran later' & would now be getting on a speedboat - it took someone getting quite aggravated by the wait for him to finally communicate any details to us! After waiting for an hour on the Beach - we finally all got onto a Speedboat. The departure time when I booked said we would departure from Bahibe beach at 8am - so we are now 2hr10 minutes later than expected. We get onto the boat at 10.26am - over 1hr after arriving onto the Beach. We all get encouraged to take a seat on the Speedboat - we then travel for no more than 3-4 minutes (I can still very clearly see Bahibe beach) where we are told 'this is where we snorkel'! None of us could believe this was happening - we all actually could have swam to the snorkeling spot as it was so close & it made waiting over an hour crazy! Unfortunately, neither my boyfriend or I could partake in the snorkeling due to us not having our swim clothes on - we were told it was a Catamaran tour, so expected to have a place to get changed into our swim stuff. As it was a present for my boyfriends birthday we really tried to stay positive, so went to speak to Rodriguez, our tour guide, about getting a drink - it was an 'open bar' after all. We were told there was no refreshments on board & we would have to wait later for this. After around 30 mins, everyone gets back onto the boat & we make our way onto the next step of our tour - the natural pools. We realize again we will have no where to get changed, so end up having to put our swimming stuff on over our underwear & get into the water. As promised on the 'what to expect' part of our tour - we were promised a Cuba Libre, however, this was no where to be seen. When we finally went into the water, the Boat driver started offering drinks out... firstly, we had been told about 30 minutes earlier that there was no drinks? Now, the 'open bar' had been opened... although the only thing that was offered was Rum (with coke or lemonade) - as someone that doesn't like Rum, i couldn't partake in the open bar. After another 30 mins of spending time in the natural pools (we were held up here by the camera man taking photos of 2 girls) - we finally get back onto boat. At this point it's just past 11.30am & we still haven't read Soana Island, the Island we paid to see... at this point I made my annoyance clear & asked the photographer how long it would take to get there & how long we would have on the Island, he replied saying it was around another 30mins on the boat to the Island, but we would have 3 hours to enjoy the Island - we expected to be spending a lot longer there as the tour is described as a Day Trip to the Soana Island, however, at this point we were just happy to get off the boat. We finally arrived at Soana Island at 12.10pm (5hrs after our hotel pick up) & by the time the boat docked & we all managed to get off onto the Beach, it was around 12.30pm. At this point we were told that we all needed to meet back at the Beach in 2hrs?! 2hrs... we expected a full day tour, then was told we would have 3hrs & then this had been taken down to 2hrs. We had paid for the VIP experience which meant we had a VIP area with an open bar on the Beach, which no longer seemed worthwhile doing considering we only had 2hrs to spend there. We were led to our VIP area - which admittedly was beautiful. We appeared to be the only ones in there - but were later joined by a family of 4. We were led there by our photographer on the boat & were told that a bartender would come & bring us drinks shortly. We waited for around 30 mins for the bartender to arrive (now only 1hr30 left on the island) where he finally bought us our Champagne as promised & were told that lunch would be served shortly. At about 1.30pm a buffet was laid out for us that we could help ourselves too... I had to ask for the Lobster, which they had clearly forgotten to bring & they returned with this around 15 minutes later. After lunch we wanted to make the most of our last 45 mins in the VIP area, however, at this point, all the Tour Guides turned up, ate the remaining buffet & helped themselves to the Bar. This really took away the romantic part of the trip as they were talking, shouting, laughing loudly & took away from the area being the beautiful, peaceful area it should have been. Shortly after, the 4 entertainment dancers arrived on the Island, where they were wolf whistling people & making lots of noise. We chose to leave early & make our way back to the meeting point. We got back onto the speedboat at 2.30pm & were finally taken to the Catamaran we were promised at 2.40pm - nearly 8hrs after we were picked up from our hotel!!! We made our way onto the open deck & they came over with 1 drink of Beer & played some music. We enjoyed chilling out on the boat, however, were disappointed that we weren't offered another drink - my boyfriend actually went up at one stage to ask for another drink & it took him 10 minutes to find someone to open up the drinks. We were removed off the deck at 4.10pm, where we were told we had to wait in the seating area (a tiny area for the amount of people on the boat) until our speedboat picked us up - which they did at 4.20pm to take us back to shore. We had a total of 1hr30 enjoying the Catamaran - even though this is advertised a 'Catamaran Day Tour' - I actually got onto the speedboat in tears, as I felt I had completely let my boyfriend down with this as a birthday present & because of how poorly we had been treated for the whole day. Before getting onto the speedboat, a plastic tip bottle was shoved under our noses & a girl asked us for money... we explained that we had no money, but also really didn't feel that the service was worth a TIP. She was visibly annoyed & stormed off! Finally, we got back onto the Island for 4.30pm & were escorted straight to our mini bus. At this point a man got onto our bus & gave us all a bottle of rum with our photo on it, that had been taken at the beginning of the day. Both my boyfriend & I though this was a lovely touch & actually made us smile - that was until he demanded $15 for the bottle, where everyone handed it straight back to him & again, he stormed off unhappy that we hadn't purchased. We left Bahibe Beach & made for the long journey back to the hotel - they once again drove to the gift shop & did try to get us all back in their, however we all made it clear we weren't getting off the bus! We got back to our hotel around 7pm feeling devastated about the waste of a day, the waste of money & the treatment we had experienced throughout the day. I have contacted the Tour Company directly & have been ignored - I have contacted Viator who were not interested in dealing with the issue & didn't even ask me what my issue was, just that they Tour Company denied everything. DO NOT BOOK - I wasted money & was treated incredibly poorly the whole day.
