La Isla Saona - Dominican Republic - Review of Excursion
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ส.ค. 2024
- Watch our first review of an excursion that we took to La Isla Saona in the Dominican Republic. I definitely recommend visiting this island. It was the most beautiful island that I have ever been to! You feel like you are across the world somewhere! #puntacana #islasaona #majesticmirage
We were staying at The Majestic Mirage in Punta Cana (3/2021) and booked the excursion through Go Majestic Tours which is the company that Majestic uses for all of their transportation and tours. It was $99 USD per person and included all transportation, unlimited rum & beer on the boat ride, a traditional Dominican lunch on the island and entry onto the island. Bring extra money for tips, to buy souvenirs and for fresh pina coladas and coconut water on the Island - YUM! Treat yourself even more with an island massage for about $40.
I can't wait to go back to this island! Be sure to watch our other videos about the Dominican Republic!

My country is wonderful 🇩🇴 😍
It’s Amazing. Muy hermosa
God is everywhere but sleeps in dominican republic. DR has it all. I'm very proud for being dominican 100%.
Yes! I love DR and the people so much!!! 😍
Thanks again! We were literally just debating Saona this morning!
It’s amazing! I probably wouldn’t do a group tour next time but for the first time it was so fun and nice meeting so many people.
Dominican Republic is beautiful my favorite place to go on vacation all its beaches seem like a dream 💘💘
It is amazing!!
This is my ultimate DREAM VACATION spot & I will get there one glorious day!!
Yes you must!
We visited Saona maybe 5-6 years ago. Such a cool little island!
Thanks for watching!! Seriously loved it so much
The most beautiful island I've ever been to😍💖 I pray one day I can come back with my little girl.
I know! I feel the same. My kids are bigger now but want to take there!!!
WE CAN GO
Wowwww!!!!! I love your video,I’m Dominican and I have been in Punta Cana but not that resort,but your video inspire me,I went to Mexico recently live in Jersey but I can’t wait to go overthere,I love the hotel and everything!!!!! Thanks 🙏🏼 ❤️
Thank you so much!! I know I want to go back to La Isla! Seriously stunning! Vive 🇩🇴 !!!!
I cant wait to go!! Going on my birthday in June think it will be worth it for sure.
Thanks for watching. What an amazing way to spend your birthday!!
I just got back from punta cana it’s a beautiful island and I missed the excursion but I was told that’s where the pirates of the carribean was filmed, we are definitely going back and def going on that excursion.
Really??? I didn’t know that. Super cool and yes you gotta go
You did a great job capturing this excursion. I took it in 1994 and I see it hasn't changed at all! It's still one of the prettiest Islands on that side of the DR. Samana ( Cayo Laventado ) is also beautiful.
Thank you so much!! I appreciate that! So many haters out there so nice comments are amazing!! Definitely have to check that out!!
I had the same experience there at Isla Saona. But we stayed at a hotel minutes from that excursion area and ate at this restaurant very close to the loading area. I never think about what I did until I look at videos like yours . Your “watch out for this” point were correct. And, I did notice a lot of intoxicated people there. I have lots of video but haven’t done a damn thing with it yet. Good times.
Awwww ty! This is your sign to do something with it lol
Lovely! I definitely need to check this out.
Thanks for sharing. Great video -crystal clear visuals, crisp audio and awesome info!
Awww thank you for watching. Means so much
Thank you for creating this video. It was very helpful. I have heard alot about this excursion and I was unsure about it. You've sold it.
Thanks for watching!!! I can’t wait to go back!
Have aways loved Saona, gorgeous turquoise water and such a beautiful 🏝️ island. BUT it is a very long day trip from PC like you mentioned.
So true!! We will def go back one day!!
I looooooove Isla Saona !
We do tooo!!
Thank you for your honest review. I am enjoying all your video. Can't wait for our DR vacation next month. We will be staying at Excellence El Carmen. ❤
So exciting! We will be at Excellence PC in Nov!!
@3Days3Noches now I want to switch hotel because I saw some negative reviews at Excellence El Carmen
:(
@almai.robles8154 I think both of them have negative reviews. It’s an Excellence property I can’t imagine it not being good!!
Good job! Amazing videos, Great reviews, full of information, not the typical VLOG.
Awww thank you so much!!!!
Love your video! We just did that tour about 2 months ago, it was great!😁.. we paid about 80 dollars for all the pictures he took of us.
Thank you!! Wow that’s great. Did you negotiate that rate?
You convinced us! Perfect review
Can’t wait to go back. ☺️
Thank you im so excited cant wait
Enjoy every second!!
I was there is 2017 its beautiful place 💐💐💐
The most amazing place ever!!
Thank you I'm going next week. This video was really helpful ☺
You’re welcome!!! Omg I’m jealous lol
Im going on it this Friday I can't wait
Exciting! Would love to know what you thought!!
This is an absolutely amazing video. I was debating on if i need to go to Saona Island & i think i should. Only downside is that i don’t know if i can drive there instead of taking the early morning bus. If you made some research on that please let me know! Overall, great video, great review! Definitely worth a SUB! 🔥👍
Thank you! Definitely go!!! But I’m not sure about the bus ride or taking a taxi. I’m assuming you could absolutely drive yourself. But you would still have to pay the $99
Subscribed!!! Hope you got videos of the food at the hotel. I can't wait to go 🙌
Thank you! Yes a few on the complete review 😄
Saona its worth it D.R.its beatiful
It truly is!!! I can’t wait to go back
Hi there! Thanks for sharing your experience! May be you would like to go with us next time? We will show you other side of the island (even more beautiful, without speedboats & catamarans in front of the beach, more time on the beach) :)
Omg yes!! Will reach out. I think we are going next March!!
@@3Days3Noches Great choice! You also will have a chance to see Humpback whales in march
Nice!!!!
Hi I’m also interested in more information. Can you provide me with your tour information? Thx
@puntacanainsider
You can take cab to the Punta Cana airport and rent a car for a day or two. I negotiated the price once at the port and payed around $35 USD per person for the same tour everyone gets. Prices from Punta Cana are the highest, the closer you get to Bayahibe the less you pay.
Awesome! We might try that! We are going back in April!!
Wow Amazing Beautiful view
I knowwwww!!! Thank you for watching.
Bienvenidos a la República Dominicana 😄
Gracias!!!!
I grew up in the Dominican Republic and went to Isla Saona just one time. It’s truly amazing how you describe this tour and above all, how beautiful the water is. Did some of the tourist passed out? Some seem a little drunk haha
Yes! Lots of drinking happening LOL. Thanks for watching!
Great review and breakdown. curious how long the boat ride was to and back from the island (guessing back was quicker). I'm assuming time at the island was about 3 hours if it was almost a 11 hour trip and its 3 hours just to get there. I'd guess 1.5 hours on the boat there, 3 hours there, maybe 45 minutes on the way back, and 3 hours drive home would be about 7am to 6pm. Sounds like personal transportation would be ideal.
So you could get to the port in 1-1.5 if you went yourself without the stops. It was an hour 1/2 ride to the island. 2 hours on the island then 45 minutes back. But then in the ride home you are stopping at all the resorts dropping people off
So let me think about this I fly to the Dominican Republic which is an island which I have done numerous times and I pay $99. to go to another island that has a lot of people standing in the water that is in the same sea I just came from? Even better my hotel has a beach with virtually the same sand there...the only exception is there are no hotels...Ok I am sold......and Oh by the way my Hotel gives me free drinks too.
Actually the experience is very different than the hotel! Don’t knock it until you try it 😄
God is everywhere but sleeps in dominican republic my country. DR has it all. The most visited island.
More videos please 🙏
Yes!!! We are visiting the Majestic in Cancun in a few days and will have many videos from it 😀
Got absolutely rat arsed on rum and had sunstroke for 3 days stuck in my hotel bedroom. Had a great time 🥵
Omg this wins the contest for the best comment 😂. I’m so sorry! We saw some others doing the same. It’s hard not to lol!!
I’ve been there, quite beautiful.
Thanks for watching!! I know!! I'm obsessed lol.
Booking my trip there now!! Thanks, another awesome review!!
Woo hoo. It’s a dream!!
What or which All inclusive you stayed at for this trip??/ excursion.
@xmotley Majestic Mirage
@@3Days3Noches have you done a review on that particular one??
@xmotley yes! It was during COVID though! th-cam.com/video/nThXU_CRoqw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8bk8d8ebIdyZGctC
I was there last week beautiful
I know right! Hoping to go back this summer
Is there anyway to visit isla or saona without be there for the whole day ? I mean there is any excursion for half day ?
I guess it depends where you are staying. But I’m sure you go to the port and find a trip there
Do you think excursions should be booked before or once you get to the resort ?
I usually book them before but have waited too long
i went 3 years ago and miss it! i’m glad i could relive the experience through ur video. i totally agree that it was a bit annoying that the bus had to stop at 4-6 resorts on the way there and back for pick up/drop off. my resort was the farthest, so we had to stay on the bus the longest. it got a bit frustrating at the end of the long day when we just wanted to be back in our hotel room. plus, resorts had very long drives from the main road into the actual drop off area so it was so time consuming. that was the only down side. the overall experience at the island and natural pool was phenomenal
Thank you for the great comment! I know it will help people bc I agree! I’ll def go again but I’ll just take a taxi to town!
Yeah, I totally feel you. On small islands, it's not a big deal, but when I was in Turkey for instance, I had already been on a bus for 14 hours, then we finally got back to the tourist zone, a 2 hour journey turned into a 4 hour one, because the bus kept stopping to drop off other passengers, the literally just sat in one spot for 15 minutes, because someone got lost. I was exhausted and frustrated and almost lost it. I almost got off the bus and hopped into a cab.
I think for larger tours like this, they should have one or two pick up points, because they don't understand that people are tired and this constant stopping to drop off other passengers is extremely annoying.
Agreed!!!!! I’d rather pay the extra money for private transportation
2 hours is not enough time for that amount of money! That’s why I like boat tours in Mexico and Thailand! It’s way less expensive and you get more time on the boat! Also the boats have an open bar and buffet!
Really? I couldn’t wait to get Off the boat lol
Agree its what I said to in my review I just did you spend more time on the road than the actual island.
There's nothing like Dominican republic. She said and i say DR is hundreds time more beautiful. Better beaches.
Love it there
My friend and I did Saona in Aug 2018. Its definitely a beautiful island and because at the time we were there it was during a large influx of seaweed in PC so we did not get a normal sea for the two weeks we were there so this was nice to get that Cuba beach I am so used to even for the short time. As for the overall trip here is my review.
I felt and I know others would agree that the time it takes to get there and the time they give you at the island is not worth it as your spending longer on the road than the actual island which was like less than 3 hours factoring in lunch they give you.
Also they should give a disclaimer for the speed boat rides. My friend and I found ourselves a bit sick at the end of the day as we were not used to speed boat. When we got back to the resort was around dinner time we went to the buffet and the entire night we felt like we were still on that boat and felt a bit off and like nauseated I don’t know, was really weird I think we were also really tired from the day but definitely felt the motion for hours after getting off on land.
I recommend the trip if you never done it. Personally I would not go back as I already seen it I would try other excursions before.
Thank you so much! This will help
People a lot!!
@@3Days3Noches no problem thank you for the reviews glad I found your channel. My friend and I are looking to try Mexico for the first time in July hopefully. We are set on Barcelo Maya Palace not the adult one. Been watching your Barcelo reviews and Mexico tips its very useful thank you.
Yay so much fun!!! Thank you so much!!! I want to go back to Barcelo with my kids. Can’t wait!!
Love your video and thank you for sharing. Our family of 30 will be there in June and we are looking for a family friendly excursion. Our group age ranges from 2 years old to 67. We actually have 5 kids under the age of 8, 4 teens from 16 to 17...and the rest are over 18. Would you recommend this tour for a group with young kids? I am concerned of the whole day event and the speed boat ride back for the younger kids. Thx for your help!
Thank you so much! Thanks for watching and that is absolutely incredible - 30 people! I actually would not recommend this for young kids. I think they would be bored with it. I don't know where you are staying but the Majestic also had excursions for a safari and adventure park that seems more fun. Omg would love to hear more about this trip! Where are you staying?
@@3Days3Noches We decided on Royalton Bavaro and yes....I watched your video on Royalton too!! Thx for posting it!
Nice!!! Have so much fun!!
@@3Days3Noches Any further thoughts on why this wouldn't be good for kids? Our are 13 and 8, but i'm not seeing any kids in the video and wondered if they may have more family appropriate trips to the island. Thanks for sharing the vid and info!
Hi! I don’t think this a good trip for kids. They will be bored out of their minds if they are anything like my kids. I think the only other option was a private tor which was $1200 I think!
If you were visiting for 6 days and 5 nights, considering that two days would really be for travel, would you still recommend using a full day on this excursion?! Fantastic videos by the way. Getting ready to surprise my wife with this trip for our five year Anniversary. You are very helpful!
Awww thanks for watching!! I absolutely would. It was the highlight of my trip to DR. I’ll never forget it. So sweet! Lucky girl
Amazing video!! Do you use dollars in this excursion or 🇩🇴 money?
Thank you! US dollars! Hope you get to go!!
How Long was the speed boat trip back to the port
25-30 minutes
Loved your video! Would you recommend this for someone that can’t swim?
Thank you for watching! Yes absolutely!!! They have life vests on the boat but when they dock it’s waist deep!!!
Great video!!!
Thanks for watching!!
Hi can you tell me what food was on the island please. I know you said Dominican, but what does that consist off please
Sure. Rice, chicken and beans I think!!
Great video
Thank you!
Is there a way to get there without all the pick ups and having to waste time at the store?
Yes you can get your own transportation to the port!
Awesome video! I’m going in May for 3 nights. Would you recommend us going on this excursion even though we are staying on the resort for a super short trip? Thanks!
I would!! It is a whole day but we did when we were there for only 3days and def worth it! To save time I would arrange my own transportation to the port so you don’t have to make all of the stops that we did. The island is about an hour from the port and you stay a few hours there and then come back
Question ... how long was the catamaran/natural pool before getting to the Island?
Thanks for watching. I want to say it was like 20-30 minutes
Thanks for the video! Was this an adults only option? I know they have them that allow children, just wondering if it's the same type of experience, thanks!
Thanks for watching! I’m not sure if there are adults only options. Maybe if you did a private tour! Something like this from Viator www.viator.com/tours/Punta-Cana/Private-Saona-Beach-Day/d794-43229P34?pid=P00070138&mcid=42383&medium=link&medium_version=selector
Which way you suggest to book for isla saona? Front desk at the hotel i plan to stay ?
You can! I also
Love this app and book a lot of excursions because I can read the reviews. www.viator.com/?pid=P00070138&mcid=42383&medium=link&medium_version=selector
Going in Aug with children and the speed boat is my only concern are their other excursions to the island that you recommend?
I think most of them incorporate the speedboat to make it a shorter day
Got it !!! Have you ever flown into Santo Domingo Airport? If so do you have any hotel transportation that offer sprinter van? Amstar only offers mini vans from
That airport location
@RaaavingReviews I have not!
@@3Days3Noches aww man.... you should before aug and do a review lol jk thank you for responding !
I think I'm falling in love with this resort and excursion but I have no frame of reference, no clue haha. Thankfully I have a couple of months to research. You often mention just a carry on is best for transitioning but you also say you love shopping lol. How does one bring back all the stuff. No matter, I'm going for a couple weeks so I need checked baggage. I am wondering about how to bring cash, phone, sunscreen and whatever around a resort or excursion securely.
You should def join our Facebook group! We talk about all of this m.facebook.com/groups/572572378298675/?ref=share&mibextid=SDPelY
Thank you kindly, I'm not on Facebook but I might just check it out. At the very least I've learned what noches means. Thanks for that :D
God is everywhere but sleeps in dominican republic my country. DR has it all.
Siiiii
Were they able to bring kids on trip
Yes!
I booked this trip. Do u think it's kid friendly? we have a 6 and 15 yr old
Fun! There were a few kids on it. There’s a lot of dancing and drinking lol. So if your kids don’t mind that or you don’t mind that lol.
Hey great video have you ever been to Barbados?
They have some of the Nicest waters I’ve ever seen
Looks like a screensaver. I would like to find something like this in Cancun the spot in your video looks very close but I want that outside my resort any Recommendations thanks again
No I haven’t! But can’t wait to go someday!! Isla Mujeres is the closest I’ve seen to Saona. Hotel Zone in Cancun the last time we were there also crazy stunning waters but lots of waves and conditions can change. I’m going to go to Holbox for a day next time and see what that is like. Thanks for watching 😁
You said $10 for coconut is that US dollar?
Yes US dollar 😄
Thank you for this video. I’m going here on Tuesday. What time did you get to the island and what time did you guys leave
Thanks for watching! Omg I’m jealous lol!! We finally got to the island around 12:30 and then left around 2:30
Loved video,who did you book soana Island with? Thank you!
Thanks for watching! We booked through our resort The Majestic
I would do this IF I can get my own taxi to the port and bring me back. No way will I spend 3 hours picking people up and being rinsed in shops. I will enquire if it is possible
Me too never again!
Awesome video!! I will tell you you can get a better price around $41 or less pp. I stayed at Bayahibe resort and I got it for $41 pp round trip
Thank you! Awesome. I’m going to do that next time.
Ella es visitante es normal los precios
Si! Estoy de acuerdo!
how long were you actually on the island?
Hi! About an hour and a half.
How did you book this trip to the island? Im staying at the majestic elegance and was wondering the best way to book.
We booked through the Majestic. They have an on-site tour company called Go Majestic.
I heard there’s a really cool sea turtle sanctuary on This island. Is it accesssible to tourists??
Oh really? They didn’t mention it!
Hi, how long is the boat to island?
Hi! We took a catamaran out which I think was a little over an hour. But then the speed boat back was like 30 minutes
Eh......just as I feared, it looks like they took you to the Playa Bonita section. Do you know if there are any tours or public ferries that take you to the Mano Juan section?
Yes there are! There are lot of tour companies! We wanted to review the resorts tour so we stuck with that
@@3Days3Noches Thank you. I found one ;)
Awesome! I’m jealous lol
What day did you ? On a week-end ?
It was a Tuesday!
Did you bring a backpack or beachbag with you?
Yes! Each one of us were allowed to bring a bag. The backpack was perfect! We brought sunscreen, towel and change of clothes etc
how much did you tip?
I think we did $50 to be distributed around to all of the workers
Was curious have you been to Cancun and Isla Mujeres? If so how would you compare the 2?
Yes!! I just uploaded a video on Las Isla Mujeres! And I have a ton of videos on Cancun. I will do a comparison video in the fall because I’m going back to Cancun and doing a full excursion to Isla Mujeres. But La Saona is a lot better than Mujeres bc it’s more like a virgin island!!
@@3Days3Noches nice. Thank you for the response. This was a fun video. I did Isla Mujeres twice, one time during the day and another at night. I enjoyed the daytime trip much more. I am going to Punta Cana in May and quite sure I will give this a go. It looks amazing
Yes you have to!!!!
Wow so beautiful! Our honeymoon is in September in la romana, and this excursion is on the list to do. We land in and punta cana airport. Is it better to rent a car and drive from punta cana to la romana?or use their transportation service? Thanks!
You will love it. I would NOt drive in DR unless you’re from there!! Literally crazy drivers. You can contact our partners Diamond Transfers and see if they do it too! (849) 919-0260

@@3Days3Noches thank you!!
🌞🌞
Would you say it’s kid friendly ?
Depends how old! There’s a lot of drinking and dancing and a little bit of shenanigans but not too bad. There was one child on ours and they seemed bored lol. Maybe look for one that does snorkeling etc
Is there a link for this particular tour company?
We booked it through the hotel so I’m not sure!!! Sorry :(
Is your area on the island exclusive to your excursion company? or do you have a whole lot of other groups showing up at your location?
You have multiple groups showing up but it didn’t feel over crowded
I'm overweight. How was the ladder to get back up on the cat?
Thanks for watching! We had all shapes and sizes on the boat and it seemed okay!!
Is there bathroom ?
On the boat there is a little one and there’s and little hut on the island.
Was there a toilet on the boat to the island ?
Yes there was! But it was tiny and nasty lol
If you go directly to the port and take the tour from there it will cost you around $45.
Thank you!! Great to know. Do you have to set up the tour ahead of time somewhere to get on the boat at the port?
Hi!! How do you book it? What company? Thank you!!
Hi we booked through the resort! But we had @puntacanainsider reach out to us saying they give tours of Saona
We are looking to go to DR in September and are heavily considering this excursion. Did you pre-book the excursion through an agency or on-site at your resort? I've heard you can save money by booking on your resort but I don't want to miss the opportunity to book.
You definitely have to do this trip! We prebooked it through the on-site tour company at The Majestic called Majestic tours. However I didn’t like the fact that you had to pick up other people at several different resorts so I know there are better options out there.
@@3Days3Noches agree needs to be done once. 🏝️
Such an amazing and thorough review!! thank you for sharing. Are you able to tip them in USD?
Thank you so much for watching!!! Yes! They love USD!!!
❤️
🤩🤩🤩
Can you go there with you private transportation?
Yes! There are many tours that you can meet at the harbor. You can even private charter boats 🤑🤑
What currency do they take on the island? Dominican Peso or US dollar?
Hi! Both us and Canadian & peso and also Euro but they prefer us. Currently $1 us =.50 pesos
Thank you!
Looks absolutely beautiful! I’m planning on doing this next year however, wanted to know, I get extreme sea sickness whenever I’m on a boat and it stops ☹️ apart from stopping in the shallow water where you got out, and then the beach shoes themselves, did the boat stop at all? for the party etc.
Thanks for watching! The boat only stops at the island!

Y lo siento TH-cam me acaba de mostrar este comentario hoy.
Gracias muy amable por contestar ya cojimos el Tour a la Isla Saona y a mi esposo y a mi nos encanto es un Paraiso Perdido y el bote rapido tomo como 30 minutos de Bahaibe a Punta Cana, Gracias volveremos si Dios lo permite para 2024.@@3Days3Noches
🥳🥳
Thank you , this video was great, very informative!! I have a question, how long was the ride back on the speed boat?
Thank you! It was about 40 minutes. The catamaran over was 1 1/2 hours I think lol
@@3Days3Noches great, thank you so much!
You’re Welcome!!
My question exactly. I am.going next year
Is there a safe place to put your bag and wallet while swimming?
It was a private tour so they assured us that everything was safe and that the attendants would be watching over everything. I didn’t think about that honestly but there were no issues!
I'll have kids aged 8 and 9. Can they travel to the Island with me ?
Yes definitely! And they have some more family friendly tour options too. Check out viator.com
@@3Days3Noches Thanks

I saw everyone in the Dominican Republic turban.. was it complimentary?
Thanks for watching! I don’t understand the question!
@@3Days3Noches the thing that was on your head with the colours of the Dominican flag
Oh!!! Yes they gave them out on the boat 😁
how long was the tour? impressive review by the way
Thank you so much!! Pretty much all day by the time you get the bus, pick everyone else up etc. the actual tour was about an hour or so Catalan ride to the island. An hour and a half on the island then speed boat back around 30 minutes.
@@3Days3Noches i was asking because my return flight from punta cana is at 7:30PM so i was trying to see if can do this tour on my last day and still
be able to make it the airport by 5:30pm .. u remember by what time they drop u guys off after the tour
We got dropped off right around 5:30. But if you got your own transportation to and from the dock you probably could
Is it adult only? I am going with my 12-year -old
It is not! There were a few kids there
We went to Saona and there was a lot of coral where we could hardly walk. Did you experience this?
Really?? No not at all! The sand was white and smooth
They probably took us to a bad location.
:( I’m sorry
Very unfortunate. The sandbar they should take you to should have a nice sandy bottom with some starfish around mainly. True ocean paradise!
Hi, Thanks for the video. I was curious as to how much cash you would recommend bringing to the Majestic Mirage+ Saona (for tips and such), assuming we have the all inclusive package. Also, would we need to exchange currency or do they take American currency there?
Thanks for watching! No need to exchange! They love the US dollar. We averaged about $20-40 in tips per day depending on what we were doing! Also for the Saona trip they have things you can buy etc. we spent about another $100 or so on tips, island drinks and massage etc
$1 USD is actually worth a lot in the dominican republic! my family always tipped $1-2 to our waiters or anyone who helped us at the resort! we gave $5 whenever we were feeling generous
