Catalina Island boat tour with snorkelling and Dominican lunch

Not enough time on the island, island sunbeds where old and falling apart

VERY long transfer from Bahia Ambar (almost 2.5 hours). Snorkelling was great. Catalina is beautiful, but very "sell-y". Offered to purchase seafood along with buffet - lobster was $60, 12 shrimp on skewers was $20. Market stall on the beach. Boat there and back was great, with fantastic crew - not a party/get-up-and-dance boat. Would recommend if relaxing on Saona not your thing.

Not what we expected We did the same trip four years ago and to be honest it was much better Thank you

The day started off with getting picked up 40 minuites late from the pick up time we was given. Once we got to Catalina island we did 30 minuites of snorkeling the coral reef was very bleached and didn’t corespond with the pictures. After we did the snorkeling we had to wait 1 hour 15 minuites on the boat to be taken to shore because the boat was over crowded. We the only got a tiny section of the beach. The tour was well overcrowded and was very poor would not recommend was very disappointed

The boat, food and island were nice. The transfers were AWFUL, we are two young women who were holidaying together, and the transfers were scary, it felt like we were being kidnapped. I speak Spanish so not a huge problem, but for others this is NOT an English tour, they speak English but 90% of the other passengers are Spanish so English is an afterthought.

A good safe location was chosen to snorkel, The coral was full of colour from the plants and fish swimming, we had sufficient time in the water and it was easy to get on and off the boat
