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 crew!!

Our family enjoyed this excursion. The crew is very friendly and focused on ensuring everyone has a good experience. We saw many fish species and lovely coral. If you are prone to sea sickness, bring Dramamine! The water was quite choppy the morning we went out and several folks felt pretty ill. The trip was great but I do not recommend the restaurant they send you to on the beach afterward. Extremely slow service and food is not very good. There are other options on the beach that are likely better.

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.
