We do things differently because our team blends American attitude, German efficiency, and Dominican flow. Our tour guide will check in with you every step of the way to make sure you are getting the experience you want.
Your vacation shouldn't feel like a crowded work commute. Don’t get caught in a disappointing Saona Island trip. You’re there for the glittering sea and the island vibes, but instead you’re hurried onto a loud, overcrowded boat with zero control of how your day goes.
They’re shouting at you in other languages and it’s confusing. You’re just a number in their system and it can end up feeling less like a relaxing vacation and more like a work commute – stressful, crowded, and out of your control.
Our tour will be the best memory of your vacation. Climb aboard your private boat as the turquoise Caribbean Sea surrounds you, on an unforgettable journey catered to your preferences. We describe every option; you decide how the day goes. Book now and we`ll see you soon!

What To Expect
Saona Island
Climb aboard one of our private boats as the turquoise Caribbean Sea glitters around you. What happens next is up to you. Do you want to see a shipwreck? Snorkel among the colorful tropical fish or head straight to the beach to sip piña coladas among the palm trees? Our tour guide will check in with you every step of the way to make sure you are getting the experience you want. Smell the salt air. Hear the ocean waves. Feel the warm sun and cool wind on your skin. Let the island consume your senses as you drink Dominican rum. Pass through marvelous mangroves, a natural habitat for sea turtles. Arrive at the first piscina (natural pool) and refresh yourself in the stunning still blue waters. You will be among starfish, but please, it is forbidden to touch/disturb them. When you decide, we can make our way to the next destination.
Relax or wander on the Catuano Beach of Saona Island after a delicious buffet lunch. Lounge in a hammock, stroll the beach, sip pina coladas or other beverages, pose for some photos, dip in the ocean, meditate by the sea, conversate with your group, whatever you wish. You and your group decide how much time we spend at each area of the tour.

Avoid the crowds and get personalized service

5.00I searched and search and saona island is by far the one place you want to visit if you come to the DR. The one issue was finding the right tour where you got personalized service without the price. In comes Dana and Ingrid from insidersTrip. We booked and Dana kept in contact via WhatsApp and was very efficient. What do you expect, she is German, and I mean efficient and on time. Never have I ever visited a Caribbean country and got picked up on time… never ever. The driver was on time, the tour guide Ingrid was waiting for us. Dana showed up and explained the tour and off we went. Ingrid’s is Dutch and her English is perfect. We basically told her how long we wanted to stay at each location. She bypassed some when there was other boats crowding the area and then we came back when they were gone. This was a highly efficient and well run tour. The price of the photography could be a little cheaper but that’s an independent contractor and not from the tour company per se. Everything was on point. Thanks Dana and thanks to Ingrid , this was the best tour in DR

An unforgettable lifetime dream on Saona – insider trips make it possible

5.00The Saona tour with insider trips was the best day of my life. Where should I start? And I don't really want to stop either. The turquoise sparkling water, the incredible biodiversity in the ocean at the snorkel spots and the nature along the way completely blew my mind. On the way we also made a short stop on land – there we had fresh coconut and pina colada straight from the fruit, a real Caribbean feeling. Or how does that sound to you? Pool high, standing in the paradise sea and living starfish around you, music coming from your boat, even your captain is dancing. Drinks are provided throughout. What else is missing to be absolutely happy? In my opinion, nothing! The island of Saona itself is simply incomparable: colourful huts, warm people, vibrant culture and an atmosphere that cannot be put into words. The small, private group made everything even more personal – and the crew was authentic, attentive and just great. A special thank you goes to Vanessa, who with her warm nature, knowledge and passion made this tour a magical experience. Absolute heart recommendation!

5.00An unforgettable day on a Caribbean dream island. Pina Colada from a pineapple sip, snorkel or chill on the white sandy beach was all possible. The captain and the staff of Insidertrips spread good vibes throughout the day. Also, attention is paid to the fluid balance! 😉🤣 Always with insider trips
Wonderful day spent on and around Saona

5.00We had booked two trips once Santo Domingo, Isla Saona. All trips were super organized and they were super nice days. It is great that they are really only very small groups and all wishes can be taken into account. If you want to have good German-speaking excursions in the DomRep is the right place ❤️
Great private tour to Saona

5.00We booked the private tour to Saona with Vanessa for the third time and were just thrilled for the third time. No mass tourism. A tour where our wishes were fully met i.e. we could decide whether we wanted to snorkel or rather enjoy the great beaches or the Piscina natural for longer. Vanessa knows the quiet corners and knows how to make a route to avoid the big boats to really get to know Saona. In addition, she has a very great team that always ensures a good mood. This tour is worth every euro. We also booked a transfer from the airport to the hotel with Vanessa. That was just great, too. Alberto, our driver, was on time, in a good mood and told us a lot about the Dominican Republic. Highly recommended.
Love goes out to you

5.00We did the Saona Tour a few days ago and had a wonderful day. I have been to the Dom rep 36 times so far and have already done many tours but unfortunately always these Typical mass excursions. I can only recommend insertrips to anyone. Our companion was the love Ingrid and we had an absolutely perfect day.
Only with insider trips!!

5.00The trip to Saona was unforgettable. Starting from the planning with Dana already from Germany to the trip itself, which we made with Sonja, who has put a lot of effort into it and took very good care of us. Individual wishes are also taken into account. Very much seen. Would always book my trips there
