This was the highlight of our trip. The boat was nice and very few guests for the size. The snorkeling was so much fun for the whole family. But what really made the excursion awesome was the crew! They were very engaging and funny. Went out of their way to make sure we were all having a great time in or out of the water. Highly recommend!!

Nino and the crew were amazing!! They made the experience 10x better. My favorite part of the trip. I loved it and would definitely recommend!
Nicky_E, Jul 2026
It was a fantastic experience! The snacks were delicious and they also delivered fresh fruit and drinks directly to us while we were swimming off the boat. The snorkeling was great, so many colorful fish. We were also lucky enough to see a ray while exloring the reef. We initially were supposed to stop at a specific shallow area to swim, but when we arrived, it was super congested (boats only a couple of feet apart) and every boat was blaring music as loud as possible all competing for who could drown out the others. Our guide's intuition was outstanding. He moved down the beach to a different spot that definitely had a party scene, but it was much much better and our boat played an awesome music the whole trip- Latin, pop, and R&B. We really appreciated the extra effort and accommodating us without us even having to ask. 10/10 recommend!

Everything about this is a 10 out 10! The staff were very helpful as this was my frost time snorkeling. The boat was not overly crowded and the crew were very attentive to everyone’s needs. We had a blast, Anna, Nino, Frankie and Pineapple were amazing!

Excellent crew. Fun for all ages. We took our 4 kids for our annual family vacation. We have adult kids 26 and 22 and minor kids 16 and 9. They all had an excellent time. Highly recommend. Not crowded like some other boats. Would definitely use in the future.

Natalie_H, Jun 2026
I booked this because of the excellent reviews & small group guarantee & I after my experience with this trip I 100% agree with those reviews.
Pick up on time, 30-40 min drive from our hotel, straight aboard a 2 deck catamaran, crew were fantastic, informative, friendly & very efficient with topping up drinks, great music on board too & absolutely amazing guacamole made on board ❤️ with nachos.
Snorkelling gear supplied - 100% recommended Thank you for a perfect experience
Noah_H, Jun 2026
Amazing boat ride! The staff is super fun and friendly. Was there for a bachelor party and would say the vibe is more drinking and less family oriented but would be fun for anyone.
Kara_L, Jun 2026
Amazing would recommend to anyone to do this experience! The staff on the boat were so friendly and helpful! The best experience we had
Amy_W, Jun 2026
Excellent experience!! We had a bit of complication getting picked up from the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The hotel has two lobbies and strict security. However, communication through the Viator app was helpful and easy. The bellhop at the hotel was also helpful and communicated with the driver in Spanish, then drove us on a golf cart to the other lobby to meet the driver.
Once that was all sorted, the actual excursion was awesome. Our boat was spacious and clean. Daniel was our main activities guy and he was so energetic and funny. The group on our boat ranged from honeymooners, to families with young kids, to grandparents and the activities were suitable for everyone.
The boat first stopped at a place for snorkeling - we saw fish (nothing too exotic or exciting) but it was a cool experience. The kiddos were able to use the diving platform and slide as well. After probably 45 minutes on the water, we boarded the boat again and moved along to the next location. Along the ride, each family was given a tray of snacks which was more than I expected! (Tortilla chips, Doritos, salsa and guacamole.)
The second stop was in very shallow (waist deep) water that was super clear and calm. We could use the Paddle boards and play in the water. The floating bar came out along with fresh cut fruit.
The ride back included a dance party and went super quick.
Very positive experience and I’d recommend this company (Happy Fish) as well as booking through the Viator app.

We had a great time!! The people were so amazing!! I highly recommend this excursion. From start to finish it was a great time
Mark_B, Jun 2026
We had a great day today. Daniel and the team made our morning excursion accessible for all, fun and extremely safe. We enjoyed the snorkeling, the natural pool stop and the free bar and snacks were generous and tasty. We would definitely book again.
Lana_L, Jun 2026
What a fun day!! The crew was phenomenal! The boat was clean and spacious. Snorkeling was great but the stop to swim in shallow water was spectacular. The planned stop was in murky water so they decided to drive until they found crystal clear water and boy was it worth it. The homemade guacamole and salsa were delicious and the margaritas were some of the best I’ve had. The crew was wonderful and energetic! We had one guest who was not a great swimmer. The crew stayed with him the entire time to make sure he was comfortable.
Would 100% recommend this tour. We had 2 adults and 2 teens and all had a wonderful time.
Artie_L, Jun 2026
It was amazing! The entire crew was great! We loved it so much we are booking again this trip! 10/10 recommend!
Jamie_S, Jun 2026
We had the best time!!! We love Nino, Frankie and Pineapple ☺️. They are fun and take great care of you. It’s great for families. We have ages 3-75 and everyone enjoyed it.
Gina_O, Jun 2026
We had the best time! Our Happy Fish crew was so fun! They played upbeat music onboard and kept the drinks flowing! They helped our inexperienced snorkelers with mask and gear even when in the water, pointed out what to look for. Immediately after our snorkel stop, they served everyone delicious chips, salsa, and guacamole in family sized trays - this was perfect! When we stopped at the sand bar, they bypassed an overly crowded location and went to one where we could all enjoy the water. They put out the water mat and paddle boards, served fruit and drinks to everyone in the water and those who remained onboard. Our family had the best time.
Lindsey_M, Jun 2026
Holy guacamole! This was the best excursion ever! We had a family group of 8 (with a 14 and 12 yr old) and everyone loved it. The guides (4 of them) all had a part they played and were hilarious and so kind and friendly. A couple we went with (who has traveled extensively) said this is the best excursion they had ever done! Highly recommend and deserves more than 5 stars! Sooo fun!!
Linda_C, Jun 2026
Perfectly sized group. Beautiful scenery, it was a GREAT morning! On that note, book the morning as it gets REALLY hot in that direct sun! 🌞🐠🤿🩷🇩🇴
Shelby_B, Jun 2026
Amazing experience with the people on the excursion but don’t buy anything from the bibijuana stores bc they will try and screw you on prices. I fell for it before checking prices anywhere else but that was my fault I just want to look out for other people.
PAUL_T, Jun 2026
Absolutely fantastic! Pick up at the hotel was easy. The crew on the boat was amazing. Great snacks, drinks and atmosphere. Everyone loved snorkeling.
Kim_M, Jun 2026
The snorkel catamaran was great fun. The drinks , guacamole, salsa, and fresh fruit were a nice addition. The catamaran had a diving board and a slide which were enjoyed by many. Plenty of snorkeling equipment to go around. It was a great day
Denise_H, Jun 2026
This excursion with Happy Fish was by far the highlight of our trip to the Dominican Republic! The snorkeling was some of the best ever and our tour guides took great care of us. Highly recommend!
sandra_c, Jun 2026
Beautiful day, friendly staff, I had fantastic time, snorkeling, floating bar in the water, boarding. Friendly for either family or group of just friends. Staff was wonderful.
Trey_M, Jun 2026
This was a great experience for my Wife and I the pickup and drop off service was perfect basically a private ride and then u get there and the driver walks you to the beach. The actual excursion of snorkeling was great the workers on board helped out, my wife isn’t a swimmer and one of the workers was able to help her the whole time in the water which was very helpful and they definitely are generous with the time they give to snorkel,jump and just enjoy the water with everyone I’d definitely recommend doing this they take care of you top to bottom.
Katherine_T, Jun 2026
Great boat and crew. Not over crowded. Fresh guacamole for snacking. Great choice for families or adults.
Emma_N, Jun 2026
We went as a family group of 9 with age rangers from 4 to 80. And it was just the most wonderful experience for everyone.
The team that we were blessed with were brilliant. They took such great care of us.
They had great energy they were knowledgeable, helpful and kind. The boat was clean and easily accessible. We did paddle boarding there was a slide that the children loved on the back of the boat. And we saw so many beautiful fish when we went snorkelling. They gave us the most divine home-made guacamole and tortillas and a divine fruit Platter. We would all definitely do this experience with the same team again.

Had a great afternoon while on my son's graduation trip! Fun crew with tasty drinks and snacks. Highly recommend.
