Trip to paradise
Quit and relaxing w knowledgeable staff. Worth every penny. Full day that left you refreshingly Relaxed. at the end. Highly recommend.
What an excursion should be
My wife & I were looking for something different than the typical crowded, loud, tourist geared excursion. This company offers an experience that hits all the right notes - limited capacity so that it’s comfortable and enjoyable - quiet and relaxing, but still fun and accommodating - remote locations away from the crowds - AND the lunch was slamming despite being a picky eater at times. Crew and head tour guide were super awesome as well. Only 15 people on our excursion so we got to actually talk and get to know each other. Highly recommend!

Stunning day on the Quetzal!
What an amazing day on the Quetzal. We went as a family of four, including our 17 and 18 year old teenagers. From the moment we stepped onto the boat we knew this was going to be a fabulous day. Lola and all the crew were so welcoming and the boat was lovely and spacious, with plenty of space for all the guests to spread out and relax in either shade or sun. We sailed to the snorkelling area (while spotting lots of flying fish along the way) and spent some time there spotting lots of beautiful sea life in crystal clear sea. We then sailed to Saona and the pictures of this beautiful place do not do it justice, it is exactly as you imagine paradise to look. We had some time on the island to relax and swim in the sea or just sit on the beach and take in the views. Lola and Mateus provided us with drinks and snacks or you can purchase a pina colada in the island (served in a pineapple). We then went back to the boat and were served a fantastically delicious lunch. I had let Joy know that I don’t eat meat, but do eat fish and they had prepared a tasty tuna steak for me. The food was the best meal we had so far on our holiday - tasty, simple and fresh. We then sailed on to snorkel to see the giant starfish, there were so many of them, along with lots more beautiful sea life. The whole trip made really special by not only the amazing things we saw and did but also by the lovely friendly and informative crew members, who made us feel really welcome on the boat. We were not crowded onto the boat and this really did make such a difference, especially as we saw quite a few other boats with any more people crammed onto them. In this case your really do get what you pay for - an unforgettable day with the family. I would highly recommend!
Perfect day!
The day was wonderful! Joy and Lola arranged for a taxi to pick us up from our hotel which was very helpful. When we got to the boat there was plenty of room for everyone. Looking at all the other boats going to Soana island, this one was more spacious and relaxing. The others were crammed full of people so we’re glad we booked with Lola instead of through TUI. We took our two children (12 and 5) and they really enjoyed. They loved sitting on the nets at the front of the boat and watching all the fish and birds. Our first stop was a swim just off Soana island, you had the choice of snorkelling with Lola or having a leisurely swim around the boat. Next we got back on board and as we went to Soana island the crew served us sandwiches, fruit and crisps for a mid morning snack. We got to Soana and it was AMAZING! Breathtakingly beautiful and we were again lucky enough to have a much quieter spot on the beach than all the other busy boats. There’s were swings on the beach, the opportunity to have a massage and drinks. The water is crystal clear. Without a doubt the most beautiful place in the world. We had a 5 minute walk back to the boat through the coconut jungle which was again so beautiful. Back on the boat, the crew fed us a wonderful lunch. Salads, pastas, avocados, fruit, chicken and beef. It was all very delicious. Our children were also well fed and enjoyed the pasta and cheese. On the way back to Dominican we stopped at a natural pool off the shore. It was spectacular. We did some snorkelling and saw the giant starfish. Just a short way from us we were lucky enough to watch some pelicans fishing too. A brilliant experience. Lola and the rest of the crew were brilliant. Very helpful, friendly, informative and we never went hungry or thirsty! Thanks for a fantastic day
Relaxing Saona Island Excursion
We purposely chose Quetzal for less crowds and less of a party boat vibe, and it was perfect for us. Saona Island is so beautiful and well worth the effort to get there. My only suggestion for improvement would be that I would have liked to stay there longer. Our hostess was tri-lingual, fun, and very helpful. The lunch they served was delicious as were the cocktails. All in all a great relaxing day and we felt well taken care of.
