3.5/5
22 reviews

Hop aboard for a full-day boat trip to Catalina Island, a stone's throw from the south coast of the mainland. You'll drop anchor to snorkel around one of the Dominican Republic's most bustling coral reefs, La Pared, where you can spot a colourful carpet of live corals, crabs and tropical fish. Then, you'll head to dry land, where you can enjoy some beach time and tuck into lunch, Dominican-style. Think fresh grilled meats, rice and salads served with your choice of beer, rum, or soft drinks.

    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

    The stuff who was from TUI worked with the guys from the island and he booking drinks for people who when we get there they gone waiting for us like Pinacolada and coconut with rum for 10$ each i didn't wanted to pay extra 10$ for drink and I passed so when we get there he charge the people for 10$ each for drink. But when you ask by yourself the price is just 5$ and he reap people off 5$ each there was at least 20 people. And when you go there just cash on you card is 20% plus

    Waardeloze excursie. Niet doen. Zonde tijd. Staf was ongeïnteresseerd en vooral met elkaar in gesprek. ‘s ochtends 3 uur over gedaan om bij haven bayahibe te komen. 2 overstappen moeten maken naar andere bus en ook onnodige stop bij toerist shop. Veel te kleine boot en er moesten mensen weer af. Kapitein voer veel te hard en had haast. Snorkelen maar een half uur. 2,5 uur op het strand. 2 lelijke valpartijen waar niemand naar omkeek
