    If your are coming from...

    If your are coming from Cabarete Its a 45 min ride to the bus and than another hour and a half to get to the boat so it was a long ride. We had to leave at 630 in the morning which was hard. So just a warning. Other than the extremely early pick up time the beach was amazing the natural pool was nice. My son had a ball going off the slide. The snorkeling was amazing my son and husband saw a bunch of different fish and turtles.

    Awesome Excursion With Amazing Guides, Food, and Transportation!

    Our Isla Bonita Delux Tour on 12-28-22 began with hotel pickup at 6:45am and ended with hotel drop off about 6:45pm! Everything was wonderful - but our English speaking guide Eddy, was the best! He was so personable, informative, and helpful throughout the entire day and he was always available and happy! Our boat was full, but not crowded. We had a delicious breakfast of ceviche, cheeses, cold cuts, breads, and fruit. The drinks (beer, rum, sodas) were available nonstop on the boat and on the island. The first stop at the Natural Pool is shallow, warm, and beautiful! The champagne toast afterwards is fun and the boat crew was awesome! We snorkeled with a guide around Paradise Island and then hung out on the sand bar with fruit and drinks for over an hour. It became a little crowded but everyone was considerate and it was fun taking photos and soaking up the sun! We got back on the boat and headed to Punta Rucia for our delicious buffet lunch that included shrimp and lobster. Our tour ended with a stop at a cigar factory/gift shop where we got to sample Mama Juana. I’m so glad that we chose Camel Safari Exploring for our trip out to Cayo Arena and I’m glad we chose the “delux” or VIP version. I don’t think the speedboat tour would have been nearly as relaxing and fun! We appreciated the patient guides, great food and drinks, comfortable boat, and hotel pickup. We definitely recommend Camel Safari Exploring!

    Best boat ride ever!!!

    Eddy was an exceptional tour guide! All staff on boat were helpful and attentive in every way. It was a once in a lifetime for some guests in our party and they had an amazing time!! So much to see and so in a short amount of time! It is worth the money to book privately! However, be aware of the lengthy bus ride depending on where you are coming from!
