One of the best excursions in DR

We have an AMAZING EXPERIENCE. Everything ran smoothly and we enjoyed our time in the Caribbean waters

The BEST thing I’ve done in DR

10/10, 5-star excursion! Wonderful staff, trip organized very well, clean and adequate equipment, pick up and drop off promptly and on time. This was the BEST experience in DR! On and photos of us provided to us for no additional cost! Wow! The only regret I have is not being able to tip the snorkel guide and the boat captain as they had to go take others upon the return to the shore. Hope they know that they are very appreciated!

Great snorkeling experience with Eric Tours!

Easy booking and Lotta reached out to us with information about getting picked up right away. Picked up by Richard, the company owner, who is very knowledgeable about the DR. After a long but comfortable ride to Sosua, we were fitted for gear and headed down to the beach to boat out to the reef spots. We had a personalized tour for just our family of six, but the larger cruise excursions were also there. Meh, more people equaled more fish food and more fish to see. The company will even take photos and videos of your family to send home to you before you leave, all excellent quality. Employees Alex, Elvis, and Franklin were top notch. Day ended at the beach where you can expect tourist prices on food and beer, despite the favorable exchange rate. (Consider the $1 empanadas right outside the tour office!) Overall great experience! Safe, easy, and WAY cheaper than the cruise excursions. Thanks, Eric and company!

Highly recommend this tour company!

Excellent tour company! Very professional. They reached out to us to confirm the booking and even noted that I chose the wrong day (our ship was not in that port till another day) and explained how to correct it. Then a week or two before our tour they reached out again to tell us what to expect and provide instructions. On the day of the excursion, our group had just done a beach day the prior day and really wanted to do more sightseeing after the snorkeling instead of beach time. Richard was kind enough to make other arrangements for us and made it possible. Our guides for snorkeling were excellent and even provided assistance to a family member who panicked and started to struggle in the water. We all had a lot of fun and greatly enjoyed our added on tour experience with Franklin as he showed us around Puerto Plata plus a chocolate and an amber museum (as Richard drove us around). Before we were back on the ship we had even already received pictures from the snorkeling! Thanks to Lotta, Richard, Franklin, Alex and Elvis for an incredible time.

Snorkel and beach

One of the things that I appreciated the most was Lotta's communication. She contacted us right after booking via the Whatsapp, so we had a way of communicating right away. We did this excursion while on a cruise. Getting off the ship is super hectic with tons of people trying to sell you their excursions, so it was nice that she was in contact with us from the time we got off the ship until we met our guide, so we didn't get lost of in another van!! LOL! Our driver and young men who took us snorkeling were all very professional and attentive.. I wish I could remember their names to give the props. They made sure to get us back to the ship in plenty of time, which took a lot of stress out of the day. Thank you for being so accommodating to our group.
