Honestly was not happy about this tour at all. First off driver picks us up has a sitting in the van for mad long. Pulls up to the next resort to pick people up they're really late we're sitting there half hour now so then we start heading to pick up more people because of the holdup we ended up being very late to the start of our excursion. Our tour guide then proceeds to tell us that the government has shut the beaches down for the next week and and that we can't do the beach part and that will get extra time at the cave and buggies. This however was untrue because I did ATVs today which is the very next day and when we got to the beach excursion Park we were told the beach was never shut down yesterday the day before or this week our tour guide just decided that we would pay for it and they wouldn't included in our trip because they were late picking other people up. But None of it was true we got to the cave dipped in move the little and the tour guide is yelling it's time to go now the whole tour was rushed unenjoyable wouldn't recommend it

Just be careful. Booked a boat charter. Gave deposit $100. You can’t make this up. Go to lobby asking for where to get picked up. Looks at my ticket and asks me for the other $200 due. Taxi drive then asks me for the $200. Get to marina. Another guy asks me for the $200. There was no boat! Great learning experience. Lost the $100. But my 17 year old learned a great lesson.

We met the Cdn gringo on the beach and took his party boat with slide to snorkel and party! It was so fun! I wanted to do it again! We met new people and just drank and danced! My favorite was swimming with the floating bar in the ocean where the two seas meet.

CAYO LEVENTADO visit included in El Limon/ Samana tour. Beautiful beaches. Worth visiting, but on this tour basically 1hr to spend in this location which is definitely not enough. The beach is lovely, the area not too touristy and the shores shallow enough to enter for those with knee/ hip problems (in order to get out again). I would love to have spent more time here, but it is still a long way/ time from Punta Cana.

Saona Island is a "must do" day trip if you are visiting the Dominican. It's a whole day adventure of speed boat / catamaran.... This island is breathtaking with the crystal clear waters and white sand. The natural pond doesn't have the star fish that they used, and very few there. We did find one, but are not allowed to take the fish above the water. Still an amazing experience!
