About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 586aliyahc0 contributionsFirst ATV ExperienceGreat experience doing this excursion!! This was my first time riding ATV's and I was really nervous but it was a very easy and enjoyable ride! Guides were helpful as well. They provide transport to and from your hotel in the excursion, the ride is a bit long but its worth it! You get plenty of time on the ATV's as well. Overall really fun experience, don't expect a crazy/dirty ATV ride, its definitely more relaxed and laid back but enjoyable!Written 23 May 2024

- MLozano880 contributionsA true ATV excursionThis is not the average Punta Cana atv tour where you stop at a sugar cane farm, see how cocoa is made and are pressured to buy something from one of the stops along the way all within a 3-4 hour tour. Not that i’m against those tours, but after you’ve done it once you’ll think twice before doing it again when all you really want to do is just ride. And thats exactly what you get at Laguna beach buggies adventure. From the words of Gary (our round trip transportation, tour guide and i believe owner as well) he says to us “when i want to ride, i want to ride! If i want to go shopping, ill go shopping! Today we’re going to ride!” And thats exactly the excursion we were looking for. Gary picked us up at our hotel in Punta Cana, and it was a 45 min drive to Miches, where we got set up and had an amazing over 2 hours of riding through the streets, country side and beaches of Miches. Gary and his team were amazing and stopped whenever we wanted to take in the scenery and stop for a photo op. Yes they will take photos of you with your phone or camera, not try to sell you them. Mid tour you'll stop at a private beach that stretches for miles where you can rest, take in the moment, go for a swim and enjoy fresh coconut water right from the shell. From there you turn around and enjoy the second half of the tour riding the trails back. We had an awesome time and we’ll definitely be back to do it again. Thank you Gary you were amazing and we had a blast. ~ MikeWritten 3 October 2022

- 1000milesaway0 contributionsConfirm when and were return transfer will take placePick up from the airport was easy! The driver had our name on a sign, and someone helped us find it (outside the airport). He didn't speak any English so that helped. They carried the bags to the car, and drove us directly to our hotel. The return was a little more stressful. Never did I hear from the company as to what time they'd pick us up from the hotel, to return to the airport for our flight home. I emailed them, messaged them, called them and never got a response. The phone number didn't work anymore to call them. I would suggest the day before confirm that with someone in your hotel concierge. We made it to the airport in time, but at the time we were supposed to be leaving the hotel, we still didn't know what time they'd come pick us up.Written 8 June 2022
- citymouse5140 contributionsExcellent service!We booked round trip transfers to our hotel. The communication and service were excellent! I even requested a ride in town. All drivers were on-time and spoke enough English. They also were very nice about my lack of Spanish. I will definitely use this service on my next trip!Written 18 February 2022

We had a great time on the cruise to Saona Island. While we did have our young boys with us it's probably a trip more suited for adults than kids, although our kids did have a lot of fun. The staff was super friendly and was always making sure you were enjoying yourself. If your main focus is snorkeling you probably want to look at other cruises, but if your main focus is having a good time with music, boats, and rum then I would highly recommend.

We went for a walk to Saona Island. We arrived at Bayahibe, then boarded a catamaran to go to Saona Island. Arriving at the site, we had a wonderful time with family and friends. . open bar, food, natural pool and a tune to dance to on the catamaran.

The tour itself was okay at least the portion we did do. I took this tour mainly for the snorkeling. Took a boat to the island which took forever. When we got to the island I asked the tour guide about snorkeling and he had no idea what we were talking about. Completed the tour and my group and I were shocked, no snorkeling. I called Viator/trip advisor to try and get at least a partial refund and after weeks of them waiting for the supplier to get back to them I was finally able to get a partial refund,but ONLY out of Viator/Trip Advisor’s doing, not the supplier. Still a bit irritated that the supplier was trying to argue with Viator/Trip Advisor saying snorkeling was offered to us, but we refused it. Don’t you think if it was offered to us I would’ve done it considering it is in the tour description and that’s what I was looking forward to? So buyer beware with this one! Will not book with these people again.

Very long boat ride. The crew was the only highlight of the excursion, there knowledge and experience was the only reason I didn’t rate this terrible. The beach on the island was huge but only one area that was safe due to large rocks and shells. The smell and horseflies were unbearable and the food was ok at best. Save your money.

We understand this tour is a tropical Island tour and not a 5 Star luxury Private Catamaran you booked. We appreciate the talent of the team and all the service they did provide to all our clients. Your support and participation in this tour, keep their family and friend happy for you to receive a smile at the lobby of the hotel to the cleaning pool. Rating the experience with certain words like this is not so encouraging them to have the same smile trust me ...

We booked this trip thinking it was a long day, but filled with a lot of activities. We took a tender boat about 300 yards out from shore then we boarded a catamaran which I thought would take us to the snorkeling. To my surprise, we were at the snorkeling area. Very few fish and the bottom of the area had pipes, wire and other garbage in it. Very disappointing to say the least. We took the catamaran and it included a light lunch. A piece of cheese between 2 slices of dry bread. I know it’s difficult to keep food in this environment, but I’m in the food industry and this was awful. Stopped at the “natural pool” as it’s called, but it was just an area of the ocean where the sand came up high enough we could stand in it. The photographers asked me to pick up a starfish and it was dead! Once we arrived at Saona Island, it was very nice. Lots of vendors pestering you immediately trying to sell you local jewellery or coconut oil. Went onto the catamaran again and went to another area to have a lobster dinner. Food safety is not important in this part of the world. Just a warning! Once we were finished dinner, back onto the catamaran and to a river boat to cruise the Chavon river for an hour. Finally arrived back at our hotel 12 and a half hours after being picked up. What we thought would be a long day turned into an extremely long day. I would not recommend this trip to anyone. Too much money and totally not what we were expecting.

We understand this tour is not what you where inspecting. the Saona Island day trip is a main way to describe this tour. a day trip. you may not enjoy the tour for the long hours of transfer to the island, but this is a fun tour and the number one of the Punta cana service. as you mention it you are in food industry and this will affect your judgement in the way Dominican leaves here. you will try to see your picture instead of theirs. Keep in mind we are in a Caribbean sea and things are 100% Natural not processing food like in the states. You just enjoy the most natural food that you can get for every long time. please try to understand that this tour is not for everybody. you need to appreciate the effort of the Dominican service. not to complain regards. Over 10,000 customers just like you visit this island and see what they said regarding the tour before you not recommending this. everyone still love Saona and they will do this over again.

They failed to pick us up even though we had confirmed our booking by phone the day B4, so they then PROMISED to pick us up the next morning and did not!!! So we were forced to book with another operator at short notice (as we really wanted to see the Saoma island) b4 we left) and spend significantly more than we planned. Trying to contact them by phone and e-mail to get a refund has been a nightmare, so now trying via TripAdvisor - VERY UNHAPPY :( :(

We had a wonderful time on this day tour! Make sure you book with a company that will take you to the Blue Lagoon, it was magikal. AND wear lots of sunscreen and bring water, it's a full day in the sun.
