We loved Joy and the entire crew. Joy looked out for us making sure we didn’t get ripped off by locals trying to sell us stuff. The sea weed at Saona island was a bummer but can’t control that of course. The starfish island was amazing. The food service on the boat was great! Better than the resort food! Bring your own booze if you want more of a variety of drinks.

10/10 incredible experience

A totally amazing cruise! Incredibly...

Debbi R, Aug 2017

A totally amazing cruise! Incredibly beautiful scenery and wonderful staff. Snorkeling visibility was so-so but time on the beach in Saona was incredible - wonderful lunch, even had massages on the beach! The most beautiful water and a whole forest of palm trees - truly top notch! The crew, including Sarah, Fa and Bernard were personable and responsive and interested in answering any questions or helping with any needs. If we are back in Punta Cana, we would surely do it again!
