Feedback about Punta Cana Adventures

Did two tours with Punta Cana Adventures, Saona Island and Scape Park. It was worth the pay and cost less than what was offered from the hotel.

Did two tours with Punta Cana Adventures, Saona Island and Scape Park. It was worth the pay and cost less than what was offered from the hotel. Messaged them and called through the provided contact on separate occasions to ask questions and they replied and answered immediately. The Scape Park, they dropped us off until closing so we had enough time to do most activities. Pick up was smooth and on time. Saona Island, the beachfront property we had wasn't crowded at all, we were informed that this tour agency limit the amount of crowd they bring to the island compared to other tour agencies. We were surprised with the amount of people the other areas of the beach had. Each tour agencies have designated properties or side of the beach for the tourists. Therefore, we were able to take great pictures with less people on the background and enjoyed the swim on the beach. Overall, we had a great experience with the agency.

I want to thank Punta Cana Adventure for being a safe and fun Company. First timer in the DR and I had a blast! I had a confusion when booking pick up location for the adventures I booked , and they resolved it in a timely manner. I loved how responsible and quick they were to respond. It made this trip so smooth. If you get a chance to go to the DR , book with them . Definitely your moneys worth. *we did Saona Island ( a must !) it’s an all DAY thing , so prep ( eat breakfast at your location, they provide lunch , yummy by the way.) 2. We did the boogie ride , half a day I’d say . No food , only get to taste mamajuana , coffee, cocoa tea and hot cocoa. Be ready to get dusty 😅
