Our day trip with Melvin was absolutely amazing! Even though the weather was much less than cooperative, Melvin's passion and love for the island of Saona and the turtles shown through. His historical knowledge for Dominical Republic was extensive, and he shared with us so many interesting things about it. Transportation directly from our resort was a breeze, and the drive to the marina was enlightening. Breakfast was simple and delicious at Mano Juan. Melvin's knowledge of the turtles on Saona Island is nothing short of amazing, and you can tell how much he loves what he does. Back on the boat to another beach for more stunning views of the island and sea. Next, we went to Abanico Beach for some free time and an awesome buffet lunch. After that, we stopped the boat over a sand bar and found some starfish. The water was beautiful and warm. Back near the marina, the water was a little bit too stirred up to see much snorkeling-wise, but the weather had control of that.
This was an awesome day to spend exploring the gorgeous area of Saona Island, and while you could spend less money on other excursions, Melvin's tour was worth every penny and then some! It was so much more personalized because of the smaller group. Melvin's crew, both the driver of the transport van and the 2-man crew on the boat made us feel safe. The boat driver was absolutely top-notch as he navigated us through some pretty tall waves associated with the weather.
From start to finish, THIS is the tour to take to Saona Island! Melvin was awesome, organized, knowledgable, and dedicated to creating an outstanding experience!

We put much effort to present a different side of Saona lsland and be able to integrated the locals during the experience specially the turtle sanctuary protection project, it's one of our goals, it's a community part in the experience very important to practice responsible ways of doing tourism.
