The experience
The day starts with pickup from your hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle and a safety briefing at the port. Once aboard the catamaran, the crew takes you straight to the snorkeling site at Playa Los Corales on the Bavaro coastline. You'll spend time in the water exploring the coral reef and swimming among colorful tropical fish with the guide nearby. The snorkeling gear is provided and fitted for you before you enter the water.
After you climb back on deck, the party side of the experience takes over. The open bar serves unlimited drinks (beer, rum, cocktails, sodas and bottled water), while the boat's entertainment team plays Latin and Caribbean music. Snacks and tropical fruits keep you fueled as the catamaran cruises toward the natural pool, a shallow, clear stretch of Caribbean water where the boat anchors for the second half of the day. You can swim, float, play games and keep drinking without leaving the water or the boat's atmosphere.
The return journey brings you back to the port and then to your hotel, wrapping up the outing in the afternoon. Children from age 4 can join. The crew checks IDs and serves alcohol only to guests 18 and older.

How long do you actually spend snorkeling versus time at the natural pool?
