Fun, low key - perfect

Noelle_B, Mar 2026
Great experience- fun crew! Very low key if you are not looking for party boat atmosphere- which we were not. Great music and Louis cracked open a fresh coconut for us

The captain was very accommodating!!!

They tried but fell short because of low attenance.

It is hard to rate this. We arrived at the boat and our guide told us that there were only four people so it wasn’t the normal tour or staff. They put us on another companies boat. Well, our guy did go on the boat with us. we were at the mercy of the other boat and their activities, it did not seem like a small group but I will say I don’t know what a small group is supposed to be. I’m glad they didn’t cancel due to lack of participation, but it wasn’t what I expected so I cannot give an accurate review the place they took us there really was no snorkeling. The only fish that were there were what they were feeding . The place they took us to swim like it was the rich and famous of drug dealers and overly crowded.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Dear Denise, We are truly sorry for the inconvenience. We really did not have enough people to go out on our boat and we never wanted to cancel it. Thank you very much for your comment and sorry for this.

Not at all what is advertised

Douglas_M, Jan 2023
This trip is not for someone who actually wants to do any snorkeling. My wife and I went based on the pictures of teeming wildlife, coral reefs, and tons of fish. Of the 3 hours and 30 minutes we spent approximately 15 minutes actually snorkeling. They said you’ll visit a natural “cave”. There was no cave, we snorkeled around the boat with no reef in site for a short time.The rest of the time was spent riding around in the boat with music so loud you couldn’t even carry a conversation. We then went to a party “cove” that had dirty water and vendors peddling junk. If you want to go party hard and get hammered, this is the trip. If you want to snorkel and explore the fish and wildlife of Punta Cana, find another company….

Fun in the sun

The hosts were great. The weather got a little Pugh so the snorkeling didn’t go as long as we all had to reboard the boat but the rain only last about 15 minutes. Great experience all around.

War ganz ok

nal_Y, May 2021
Es war ganz angenehm aber die Tour hat eine Stunde verspätet angefangen. Wir mussten eine Stunde auf den shuttle warten auf Anrufe und Nachrichten hat der Anbieter nicht reagiert, am Hafen angekommen ging alles nach einer kleinen Einweihung weiter doch auf dem Boot gab es weder genug Westen noch ausreichend Essen wir haben inklusive Essen gebucht und nichts bekommen weswegen wir noch einen Punkt abgezogen haben.
