Itinerary
This Punta Cana sailing and snorkeling catamaran tour starts with easy pickup from your Punta Cana hotel. Once you’re picked up and you’ve made your way to the catamaran to board, get ready for a full-filled, half-day adventure.
Your boat sails close to shore, so you can take in sights as you go. Then, it takes you to a natural reserve for snorkeling, which is a less crowded area than other snorkeling tours usually take you to.
The catamaran features onboard restrooms, and alcoholic drinks and snacks are provided, too. Plus, during this experience, stop at a sandbar where the water is waist-deep and enjoy relaxing with a floating bar in the water.
After all the fun, get dropped off back at your Punta Cana hotel.

Daniel, Eduardo and Grisby were phenomenal. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a fantastic time. Daniel was great about pointing out the different types of fish on the reef. Would highly recommend for all ages. It was our best day in Punta Cana!

It was an amazing experience. The crew took the time to know and cater to all of us. I especially appreciated Anna and Aquaman , the whole crew were amazing hosts.
Laura_K, Apr 2026
The staff were fantastic! We saw so many fish, turtles and even two rays!! Our boat was clean and new.
Kendra_B, Apr 2026
They were friendly, attentive and made sure that everyone had a nice experience. It was fun seeing all the fish and being able to feed them!
David_B, Apr 2026
Absolutely loved the catamaran, the small group and the day on the water! Highly recommended. I do however want to point out that the dolphin encounter business they highlight on the tour is incredibly cruel and unethical and it truly upset us to see how awful and small that prison was for the poor animals. So please don’t make a point to highlight it for the tour. It’s the opposite of a flex. It truly depressed us. Otherwise amazing tour and still recommended.

Wonderful morning spent with a very fun group of young men.... excellent snorkeling adventure with an underwater "tour guide." Spent some time on a beach (felt like a desert island) and then at a sand bar. Super fun!

We went out last week with our teens on the small group snorkeling tour. Even though it was a bit rough, our guides made it an amazing day. The drinks were cold, the jokes were funny, and the food was amazing. My kids are still talking about the fresh guac and fruit. We highly recommend this for families with teens. The boat was lots of fun without being too rowdy.

One of the best excursions we have ever gone on. Daniel, Eduardo, and Crispy were the best. Great snorkeling and so friendly. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone. What a great group of people and the fact that it was small rather than a huge catarmaran with 50 or more people was one of the best parts of this trip Thank you guys for a great day. We will definitely be back!

Exactly as described. Our captain was Kevin “hart” and his assistant Nino were unbelievable. Super good! We chose to have the private charter to avoid the craziness of the party boats. Would book with them every time. Super family oriented and cared. Hope they get a bonus from the company. If you ever get them know your in good hands and take care of them. .
We booked excursions and our hotel said oh you got lucky with happy dish. That’s our biggest competition
Brandon_S, Apr 2026
Captain kevin heart and crew were awesome. I would highly recommend It was relaxing and fun for me and my two daughters.
Sarah_A, Apr 2026
We had an amazing time with family- it was excellent for the kids as well as the adults.
This was our fifth time going on a tour with this provider and every single time they go above and beyond! Highly recommend!
Kalimar_M, Apr 2026
We noticed the tour company had separate boats for families and adult parties. This was perfect r because we were able to have a family friendly, quieter excursion.
The guide also tailored parts of the trip for us. Rather then follow the party boats, we anchored on a quiet secluded beach where the crew prepared some snacks for us.
My nephew said he really enjoyed having a "private beach" all to ourselves to play
The crew was friendly and very professional. Ita clear they love working for happy fish.
You should know that yoy don't need water shoes. In fact they collect everyone's shoes and return them at the end of the trip.

We love small group catamarans with our boys (4 & 6). Snorkeling, beach and sand bar (boys could both touch the ground at sandbar) were fun for both adults and kids. Would highly recommend, boys want to do it again this trip.
Paula_I, Mar 2026
This was the most fun activity of our vacation! The boat was really nice and spacious, with lots of room for everyone to relax anywhere they liked. We got lucky and there were only nine participants but the boat could easily accommodate many more. The crew was really nice and fun. The snorkeling was okay - having been to some amazing snorkeling spots in the world, snorkeling in the DR isn't really great. But we loved the trip and had wished it was an all-day excursion!

Happy Fish Catamaran was awesome! The crew were so wonderful and fun! Sosa and team gave us a fabulous experience. We had a group of 13 including kids ages 7-15, and adults. Everyone had the best day. The snorkeling was great and the crew made sure we saw lots of cool fish, sting rays, and turtles. The sandbar was a fun stop too. The catamaran had a diving board, slide and paddle boards. Such a great experience!!
Brian_L, Mar 2026
The small group is perfect. The crew are amazing. So professional and accommodating and friendly. Very enjoyable experience.
Andy_Z, Mar 2026
Capt Nino's crew were awesome, and very involved with ensuring a good and safe time on the boat, and in the water. The small group size meant lots of activity time. Found the half day outing to be the perfect timeframe. Note the launch spot has lots of small kiosks, why the money for shopping note.
Only suggestion I have is to suggest patrons be at pickup spot at least 10mins before stated pickup time, as our pickup was early.
Julie_M, Mar 2026
Great! So much fun, and the overall experience was amazing! Thanks to our team Nina, Edward, and the captain!

We had a great time with David and Kevin, they kept the boat ride smooth even though it was a bit choppy that day. Both were awesome and made sure we had plenty of good pictures while snorkeling. Highly recommend!

Wonderful experience! Loved the small group and had a wonderful time with the staff! Would highly recommend!
Ashley_G, Mar 2026
Great experience all around! Our crew was great, and very welcoming from the minute we stepped on board. The snorkeling stop had several reefs with tons of fish, and the sandbar stop was very relaxing. We had a great time & would most definitely recommend.

Ww had a great time and this was a highlight of our trip! Highly recommend Neno and Jose Luiz (pineapple) as your guides! So fun!

Cori_G, Mar 2026
So well done! The guides were incredible and so much fun. David was hilarious and really kept the energy going. Grateful for the ease of everything-down to the pick up/drop off process. We went snorkeling, enjoyed being on the water and stopped at a sandbar to swim- they even made handmade guac for everyone! (sticker over our new friends' faces in case they do not like social posts)
Darin_S, Mar 2026
Crew of hell fish #4 was the best! Great boat. perfect time! So nice not to be overcrowded. Perfect for what we wanted.

This was the absolute most amazing excursion ever!!! The communication was great, the people were fun and entertaining. The snorkeling was out of this world. I don’t have one bad thing to say. Book the excursion, you won’t be disappointed!!!
