Went to the island with a tour group with provided travels and food. In total we were 19 people and we all had fun. The beach was clean and peaceful. I recommend making this trip to. The Saona Island. The locals are super friendly as well. Be ready to take a lot of photos in the beach and boats.

My family and I took a trip to D.R. from 9/28/18 -10/6/18. We purchased the Saona Island excursion via our resort for 79.00 per person. This is with a diamond club members discount the original price was $99 pp I believe. This price included, an hour tour bus ride to the coast, a catamaran boat trip to Saona Island, lunch on the beach, 2.5hrs of free time to swim/tan, 30-45mins in the blue lagoon where you can see starfish, a speed boat back to main coast, and finally an hr bus ride back. Overall we had a really nice time. It is important to note this is an all day event. You will be worn from all the different means of travel BUT I do think the experience is worth it. I agree with many peoples opinions of the food. It wasn't what I expected. Its not bad but definitely could have been a lot better. The beach and lagoon were beautiful and definitely something to really behold. The one negative would be that there are locals who live on the island and they do hit you up on the beach trying to sell things. In my opinion they could make way more money if they traded in all that jewelry for a towel rental service as most people didn't bring a beach towel and none are provided.

Isla Saona is one of my top destinations in the Dominican Republic. This island is a great option for a day trip with friends and family. The waters are crystal clear and the ambiance is like nowhere else.

The most beautiful beach that I have ever been to. White sands, the clearest turquoise and blue water, thick full green palm trees. On a clear sunny day with a gentle breeze this island is magnificent.

Paradise as we know it. Clear crystal turquoise waters and powdery white sand beaches, beneath blue blue sky!
