A Fun Day on the Water

Shelley_W, Mar 2026

Very fun experience - we had the whole boat to ourselves which was so nice! Captain and staff were very friendly and very accommodating. Had a fun snorkeling stop to see a reef. They served a great lunch of kabobs and hotdog on good bread. Only complaint was the music was a bit loud to our liking (though we are 60+ so we can now understand the volume complaints of our elders - LOL). Recommend to go on this excursion.

Think twice and prepare

Edward_R, May 2025

I understand they want to get the bang for their buck, but our van was so packed we barely fit. It was not very comfortable being that we had a fairly long drive to Sosua. We were told there would be Tequila on board but they only had rum. Very misleading when I don't drink rum. When I asked I was told it would be coming but it never came. Good thing I brought my own little bottle. The food on the tour was dry and not worth it so make sure you eat before you go. We were told that we were going to a second location to relax but that 2nd spot was actually 5 minutes from our drop off point. Unbelievable

Mixed feelings

Scott_J, Jan 2025

Had fun however what I payed for was not the experience promised. Food was great. Host were great. Payed for a 4 hour excursion and only got 2 1/2 hours and was told by the host that I was given a private excursion that is only 2 1/2 hours. If I had the other excursion it would have been 4 hours. I never signed up for a private excursion but that’s what they made it.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Hi Scott_J, Thanks for joining us during your vacation in beautiful Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic! We’re glad to hear you had fun and enjoyed the food and our friendly hosts. We’re sorry for any confusion about the tour length. As mentioned in the tour description, the total duration of the experience—including round-trip transportation from your hotel or cruise port—is approximately 4 hours. Time on the boat itself is about 2.5 hours, whether the tour is private or shared. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again for an even smoother experience next time in the Caribbean! Warm regards, The Next Experience Travel Team

Absolutely awful

MATTHEW_C, Nov 2024

No one was there to meet us. We didn't receive any boat tour or anything at all. No one ever met us or contacted us at all. They just took our money and now I will try to get a refund. I feel like we got scammed. Worst excursion experience of my life

Response from Host, Jun 2025
