Local intel for Saona Island excursions

What every traveler consistently get wrong about Saona Island excursions until we explain it: (1) The same Saona Island excursions captain who runs a $180 "premium" resort trip runs an $85 direct trip — same boat, same lunch, same beach. The mark-up is pure commission, not quality. (2) Avoid booking Saona Island excursions on Sundays if you can — that's the day Dominican families take their own boats out and the marinas are noisy. Mid-week is quieter and you get more attention from the crew. (3) If anything goes sideways during Saona Island excursions (weather, group split, schedule change), one of the founders is on WhatsApp the same day, not a ticket queue. We fix it ourselves.
