    Very entertaining and fun expedition. Short enough for the kids to not get bored, they really enjoyed the snorkeling but also the slide and the dive board. This was our second time in two years, and it did not disappoint.

    Fun Snorkeling Experience

    Stacey_F, Jul 2026
    Happy Fish I was the boat we were on with Frankie. Crew was super nice and helpful and kept the energy high and entertaining. There were 4 families and plenty of area to roam on the boat. Snorkeling was awesome. I just wish we went to more than one spot to snorkel. We went to one snorkel spot and one spot to just lounge in the water around a bunch of other boats. It turned from a snorkel excursion into a party boat excursion. They have a slide and a diving platform that people enjoyed. Saw sea turtles and sting rays while heading out. Tons of school fish and coral at the snorkel spot. You can feed them too and they just surround you.

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your day aboard Happy Fish with Frankie and the crew. It’s great to know the team’s energy, the spacious boat, and the snorkeling experience made your trip memorable. Seeing sea turtles, stingrays, colorful coral, and schools of tropical fish is always a highlight! We also appreciate your feedback regarding the snorkeling itinerary. Our tour is designed to combine snorkeling with time to relax and enjoy the crystal-clear Caribbean waters, creating a balanced experience for a wide range of travelers. That said, we understand that some guests especially snorkeling enthusiasts would enjoy spending more time exploring additional reef sites. Comments like yours are invaluable as we continue working with our local partners to refine and enhance the experience. Thank you again for choosing Xcape Tours, and we hope to welcome you on another adventure in the Dominican Republic soon!

    OK if you want a party atmosphere.

    Friendly staff, but despite being billed as a small group experience, they tried to create a party boat experience, which suited some of the group but not everyone. Briefing for snorkeling was haphazard which resulted in one of our group going too close to the reef, then being told off/mocked for it. Not nice

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Thank you for sharing your feedback and for recognizing the friendliness of our team. We're sorry to hear that parts of the experience did not meet your expectations. While our tour is marketed as a small-group experience due to the limited number of guests onboard, the atmosphere can vary depending on the group and the day. Some guests enjoy socializing, listening to music, and participating in onboard activities, while others prefer a quieter and more relaxed experience. Our intention is always to create a fun yet respectful environment that can be enjoyed by a variety of travelers. We are particularly concerned by your comments regarding the snorkeling briefing and the interaction with our crew. Protecting the reef is extremely important to us, and our team provides safety and environmental guidelines before guests enter the water. However, these instructions should always be delivered in a professional and respectful manner. If a member of your party felt embarrassed or mocked, we sincerely apologize, as this is not the standard of service we strive to provide. Your feedback has been shared with our operations team so we can review both the snorkeling briefing process and how corrective guidance is communicated during the excursion. We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention and thank you for choosing to spend part of your vacation with us.

    Very entertaining and fun...

    Relaxing in the DR!

    Gabe_N, Jul 2025
    Enjoyed the small group experience. The staff was very friendly, helpful and created a fun atmosphere. One staff member took us on a 20+ minutes snorkel tour at one stop. The other staff members kept our drinks full, made sure the slide was soapy and slippery and kept the music going! We had only 9 people on the boat so it was a little smaller than pictured. However there was plenty of room, a place to layout and slides and 2 paddleboards.

    Best excursion experience in the Dominican!

    Wonderful experience! David, Funky, El Capitan, and Kevin Heart were absolutely the best host we've experienced in the Dominican. They were fun, informative and engaged. Loved this experience!
