Real experiences from real travelers
We booked the combo snorkeling and parasailing cruise. Flying 500 feet over Bavaro beach was terrifying but amazing! The crew on the catamaran were so high energy and made sure everyone had a drink and was dancing. The natural pool stop is like a dream.
We rented a private catamaran for my wife's 40th birthday. The crew was professional, the BBQ lunch was surprisingly good (great lobster!), and having the boat to ourselves for snorkeling was worth every penny. Highly recommend for groups!
The party boat was a lot of fun and the open bar was generous. Snorkeling was okay, but there were many other boats at the same reef. If you want quiet, go private, but for a party, this is the one!
The full-day catamaran trip to Saona Island was the highlight of our trip. The water there is even clearer than in Bavaro. The small group setting made it feel much more exclusive and personal.
The reefs at Cabo Engaño are beautiful. We saw so many tropical fish. The boat was clean, the staff were helpful with the gear, and the music wasn't too loud, which we appreciated.
For $50, the shared catamaran was a steal. We got snacks, drinks, and a great tour of the coast. Perfect if you are on a budget but still want the catamaran experience.
The booking through the site was seamless. Instant confirmation and the pickup was right on time at our resort. The double-decker boat was spacious and very stable.
Took my two teenagers on the snorkeling cruise. They loved the music and the slide on the boat. It was safe, well-organized, and the highlight of our Dominican vacation.
