A new experience for an inexperienced swimmer
As someone with little experience swimming, the staff did an exceptional job of making me feel supported and safe during the experience. They provided several opportunities for occupants to enjoy the open seas and educated us on several aspects of ocean life and conditions. Food we ordered in advance from the floating kitchen was great. I highly recommend this tour for families with kids, couples, or singles.

10/10 Highly Recommend!!
We did this excursion twice while in Punta Cana because it was so good the first time. Eduardo and Jose took my family of 3 and three other travelers on the catamaran cruise ans the rest of the group was on the bigger boat with slide and diving board. The second time we went, we were on the bigger boat. Both were great. Catamaran was more relaxing and the bigger boat was more of a lively experience. Would highly recommend, my 11 year old loved it both times. The waist floats are so much better than conventional life jackets so you can lay face first in the water easier for snorkeling. We saw so many fish! Would definitely do this again if we were to return. Happy Fish is the best! The smaller groups are sooooo much better and the best way to do excursions in Punta Cana.

Best Excursion! Don’t miss this!
Ok, I cannot say enough about how incredible this experience was! My last trip to saona was on a private yacht so I was hesitant to book a group outing but saw the reviews and decided to take a chance. 10/10! It was my 15 year old daughter and I. Melvin and his crew were fantastic. They showed us a ton of different areas. The turtle sanctuary was incredibly moving for us as animal lovers. They watched our belongings on the main beach so we could swim and explore. Saw sea turtles, snorkeled over the reef, held starfish. The boat ride was a BLAST!!! It’s a speedboat so don’t expect a leisurely cruise. We learned a ton about the mangroves, the marine life, the culture. Perfect size group. This will not disappoint!!

Make contact
My driver was awesome. It was a bit tricky finding where to make contact with your company. The instructions were to not speak to anyone outside of the Customs Hall and the driver would be holding a sign with my name. The better instructions would be after bypassing everyone outside the Customs Hall, make a right and then a left to find my name on a board where all of the car services are located. I wasted time looking for someone holding a sign.
Once contact was made everyone involved was great.
I hope my return to the airport is just as seamless.

Great time!
It was fantastic! If you are looking for good snorkling and a fun atmosphere but not a crazy party boat with lots of people, I highly recommend this excursion. We stayed close to the guide while snorkeling and he showed us some cool spots and sea life. Open bar, music and great people!

Highlight of our trip!
This was the highlight of our anniversary trip. The vibes on the boat were so fun and had delicious drinks. A couple snacks were offered before our lunch. The lunch was literally the best meal we had in the D.R. Snorkeling for the first time was amazing! I loved it so much I chose to snorkel more rather than enjoy the floating bar. I got to see angel fish and puffer fish. Highly recommend this tour!

We had an amazing time on...
We had an amazing time on the ATV excursion! Felix was a fantastic tour guide friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience so much fun. Everything was well organized, and the adventure was unforgettable. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

Amazing start to finish
There are so many snorkel tours to choose from but I could not be happier with this one. There is open bar and two different snorkel spots, a floating kitchen where they are cooking lunch, and a floating bar to party at in the water. The trip had all these extras and free photos. There were a lot of plans and it went smoothly. Don Julio the guide is hysterical. You don't get nickel and dimed and in fact feel like the crew cares if you have a good time and goes above and beyond for their guests. Highly recommend. They even take photos you can get for free. I felt like man did I choose wisely and the tour is like 5 hours. My only thing was that the boat was all English speakers but the music was majority Spanish. Not bad music or anything and at a good non overwhelming volume.

Great for family’s or a low key snorkeling experience.
We had an amazing time. Highly recommend if you’re traveling with a family or want a chill experience. Some of the boats that offer these excursions are geared toward party crowds with loud, explicit music and women doing things on the boat that children shouldn’t be exposed too. Our staff was absolutely amazing and I can’t speak highly enough about the tour operator. The boat was spotless, the food was really good and the drinks were perfect. Don’t hesitate to book with them if you want a low key, great snorkeling experience.
Bring some cash for a tip. I regret not brining any as the staff absolutely deserved it !!!

Highly Recommend Booking with HQT
We booked a round trip ticket for me and my family and the pickup and drop off process was seamless. Our transfer that picked us up was very friendly and was very knowledgeable about Punta Cana sharing some tips along the way to our resort. We loved that you can message the tour operator through the app with any questions or concerns and they get back to you very quickly. I would definitely recommend going with High Quality Transport the next time you are in Punta Cana.

Booze Cruise
The Booze Cruise was a great experience. They allowed you to bring your own alcohol aboard. There was food at the dock while we waited on our boat for a small price. Once we rode out into the water a bit, we were able to get off the boat into the water. You could also order food then, I wasn’t too crazy about the food. The music on the boat was great! We had a great experience, I’d definitely do it again!

An incredible day of fun!!
We had an incredible day and the staff was fabulous!!! A perfect mix of exciting activities, swimming and sun with music and fun. The only disappointment was the photographer, he was a great photographer and a whole lot of fun, but the cost of the photos was outrageous! Since my party was so large I could spend and hour+ going through them all or pay the outrageous fee. Then had the nerve to ask for a large tip.
