4.8/5
243 reviews

Dive into a world of difference with this eco-conscious tour in Punta Cana – a perfect blend of fun, learning, and hands-on action to help save our seas. Not only will you get to snorkel through the colourful underwater world, but you'll also play a pivotal role in coral restoration efforts, making every moment of your adventure count towards marine preservation. Maria, one of our local guides, says, 'You're not just a tourist here; you're part of the solution. Under the guidance of our expert team, you'll learn about and participate in cutting-edge techniques aimed at rehabilitating and restoring coral reefs'.

Kick off your experience by joining our experts at the Scientific Interpretation Centre and Coral Lab, where you'll learn about coral gardening through methods like microfragmentation. This hands-on activity guided by our knowledgeable guides will help you to discover the intricate beauty and vital importance of these ecosystems. It's an eye-opening experience that highlights the urgency of protecting these underwater treasures.

After doing your part for the planet, strap on your snorkel gear and plunge into two distinct coral gardens on a guided snorkelling tour, filled with tropical fish and sea creatures. Wind down your impactful day with some chill time at Coco beach, where refreshments like the ‘coco loco' – an ice-cold coconut drink – are as cool as the ocean breeze.

    Best trip we had. It wasn’t an educational trip that I expected but more of a relaxing snorkelling trip for all levels.

    The snorkelling was cut from two locations to one due to weather/seaweed conditions which was disappointing but unavoidable. The staff were very attentive and created a good atmosphere, the on board drinks were good and the food from the floating kitchen was amazing - some of the best we had on our holiday.

    The trip with Hispaniola Aquatic Adventures Punta Cana -snorkelling/coral reef - was a memory I will never forget! From beginning to end - fantastic! Staff were unbelievably supportive - safety first at all times. snorkelling at 2 spots - fed fish and have seen so many on one place. Lobster lunch sublime - cooked on floating kitchen, washed down with fresh coconut juice prepared by skilful man with machete - wow!! Would recommend to everyone! 💯 Thank you to ‘Grandma’s’ crew! ❤️

    Guide and staff were absolutely brilliant. Looked after us from start to finish and didn't force any tipping or additional paid services on to people. Simply made sure that everyone enjoyed their day and had the best experience possible. I would, and have already recommended to others.
