FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
What is the difference between a standard excursion and a private speedboat excursion?
A private speedboat excursion lets you enjoy an exclusive experience, far from the crowds, with a personalized itinerary designed just for you. Unlike group tours, you can experience each stop entirely at your own pace, with greater comfort, privacy, and flexibility.
How long does it take to reach Saona Island by speedboat?
On the outbound journey, we take our time — about one hour — to offer you a panoramic tour of iconic spots such as El Peñon, the starfish sandbanks, the mangroves, and even the filming area of the adventure show Exatlón (similar to Survivor).
You’ll also enjoy a first snorkeling stop at Catuano, making this private speedboat excursion not only scenic but also a be-spoken, tailor-made snorkeling adventure in the Dominican Republic.
What are the advantages of a fast boat for an excursion to Saona?
Thanks to the speed of the boat, you spend less time traveling and more time enjoying the highlights: around 45 minutes of snorkeling, 2 hours on a secluded paradise beach, and another 2 hours at the natural swimming pool.
This balance makes the private speedboat excursion a be-spoken experience combining the best of snorkeling, beach time, and relaxation in the Dominican Republic.
Is the speedboat excursion suitable for families with children?
Yes, this private speedboat excursion is family-friendly and perfectly suited for travelers with children. However, for safety reasons, it is not recommended for kids under 4 years old.
Can pregnant women take part in this excursion?
No, for safety reasons related to the speed and movement of the boat, fast excursions are not suitable for pregnant women.
Is it possible to enjoy a private or less touristy beach in Saona?
Yes, we include access to our exclusive beach, far from the crowded areas. By arriving early, we guarantee a unique, intimate, and authentic moment just for you.
This is what makes our private speedboat excursion truly special, allowing you to enjoy one of the Dominican Republic’s hidden beach gems in complete privacy.
What is included in the price of the private speedboat tour?
The price includes everything you need for a seamless day at sea: your captain and crew, drinks (soft drinks, beer, rum), a morning and afternoon snack, full snorkeling equipment (fins, mask, snorkel), as well as an English-speaking guide.
What makes this speedboat unique compared to others?
This is not just a standard speedboat — it’s a 13-meter luxury mini-yacht. You’ll enjoy high-end comfort with a private space, cushioned seating, an audio system for your own music, and full water equipment (fins, mask, snorkel, paddleboard, and floats).
It’s the perfect combination of elegance, power, and relaxation.
Do we need to book the private tour in advance or can we book at the last minute?
Yes, we highly recommend booking in advance to guarantee the boat’s availability and to allow us to design a tailor-made itinerary based on your preferences.
Last-minute requests are possible, but they depend on availability. Planning ahead ensures you get the full benefit of your private speedboat excursion and enjoy the Dominican Republic exactly the way you want.
What payment methods are accepted for the private speedboat excursion?
To confirm your reservation, we require a deposit via PayPal. The remaining balance is paid in cash on the day of the excursion — in euros, US dollars, or Dominican pesos.
