It would have been nice to explore the square area a bit more and grab a coffee, we stayed a little too long in both the market and the chocolate factory. overall a great and enjoyable trip would still would highly recommend.”

They even took our infant so we can enjoy the reefs. They were amazing and honestly we couldn’t have asked for a better tour. We enjoyed our experience far more than we did in Hawaii. And the waters was just absolutely beautiful! The pictures just don’t do it justice.”

Spend a long day visiting Altos de Chavon, a recreated Mediterranean village, then ride to Saona Island by speedboat and catamaran. Guides such as Benjamin, Danny Boy, Henry, and Cesar lead the outing, which includes lunch, drinks, a natural pool stop, hotel transport, and music.

“We loved the village and the island, true paradise. My only two reasons for giving 4 stars is this is a whole day experience and you only get food at lunch which makes the day even longer. Make sure to take some water and some snacks to keep you going unless you can go without food for quite a while. Secondly the constant pressure to give tips like 5-6 times throughout the day was not to our liking. We actually ran out of cash in the end and couldn't give any to the bus driver which we thought was unpolite but couldn't do anything about it. So make sure you…”
