Spend a full day visiting Altos de Chavón and Saona Island from Punta Cana. Expect a lively bilingual guide, a Caribbean boat ride, a natural pool stop, buffet lunch, unlimited drinks, and time on a white-sand beach. Guides such as Benjamin and Alberto have led especially entertaining departures.

“We had a lot of fun during this trip. As others mentioned, the guide is a lot of fun. Altos de Chavon is interesting if a bit too touristic. The shallow pool is fantastic and they give you rum and coke (included), it’s pretty much a big party as some of the boats will be playing loud music. Saona is spectacular and very much paradise. I thought the food there was good for this type of thing. Trip back on the catamaran was another party with alcohol and dancing. This is a must do trip if you are in the DR. Note: they will try to sell you a bunch…”

“Beautiful nature, but very bad organisation of the whole trip. Combining scuba diving tourists with snorkeling tourists is not a good idea. We were there for the snorkeling and the island, but mainly waited all the time for the setting of scuba divers. Too many people from the stuff which mainly talked to eachother and drunk rum, with no attention to the tourists. Extremely loud music, but only the stuff had fun, not caring at all if people have party experience or not.”
