I was changed from this Saona tour to another one with turtle sanctuary because the’re were’t enough people on my tour. Comminication was 10/10 thanks to Nadine. Everything was great and the tour guides were fantastic. The tour is quite long, pick up was at 7am and return at my hotel was at around 8pm. I wish we had much more time swimming. We went all the way to get to this beautiful island but we didn’t get to swim much. The boat was way too crowded, a couple people sat on the floor or stood up. Despite this we all had a lot of fun!

The Cotubanama National Park Lunch Cruise was definitely the highlight of our vacation! Being in paradise was made even better by our amazing tour guide Christian and the great crew. The atmosphere was great and there was a constant supply of drinks. We had enough time at each stop to enjoy everything. In addition, due to fewer bookings, we were upgraded free of charge to the higher-quality tour with a stop at a turtle breeding station. An experience not to be missed! ⛵️🌴🐢

We were picked up from the hotel on time. We then transferred to a boat where there were drinks and entertainment. We saw everything before the “crowds” arrived, which was much more pleasant. I recommend changing clothes. The tour is highly recommended because the guide and his crew were pleasant and attentive. Photos could be purchased at the end of the tour for $35. The transport back to the hotel was also well organized.
