The experience

The catamaran leaves from the Bávaro coast with snorkel equipment already on board and an open bar that runs the whole afternoon. You get in the water at a natural ocean pool where the visibility is clear and the bottom is sand, then move to a reef site where the fish and coral are the draw. Guides set up games and activities on deck to keep the energy up between swims, and the boat plays music (local and international tracks) all the way back to the dock.

Four hours is the full window, split between time in the water and time on the catamaran. Appetizers come out while you're on board, and since the bar is open to adults, you don't need to budget for drinks. The boat is air-conditioned below deck if you want a break from the sun. Slides are provided for anyone who wants to get in the water that way instead of the ladder.

Hotel pickup and the ride back are included in the price, so you don't arrange transport yourself. The boat runs as a public cruise most days, but if your group is larger than 30 people, it becomes private at no extra cost. Guides speak English, Spanish, Italian, French and one additional language, so language is not a barrier to understanding what's happening or asking questions underwater.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, Spanish, French, German and Italian.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (5 to 10 years); Infant (under 5): free.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What's the water like at the snorkeling sites in Punta Cana?

The natural ocean pool has shallow, sandy bottom and calm water. The reef site has coral and reef fish. Both are included in the four-hour outing, and you choose how much time to spend at each one.

Is snorkel equipment really included, or do I rent it separately?

Snorkel equipment is included in the price. The boat carries masks, fins and snorkels for everyone on board, and guides help you get fitted before you enter the water.

Can I bring my own group and make it a private boat?

Groups larger than 30 people automatically get a private catamaran at no additional charge. Smaller groups sail on the public boat with other travelers, unless you book a private option separately.

What happens if I don't want to snorkel the whole time?

You control how much time you spend in the water. The boat stays at each site for a set window, and you can stay on deck, use the slides, or sit at the bar while others are snorkeling.

Are there age limits for the drinks and the boat itself?

Alcoholic beverages are only served to passengers 18 and older. The boat is suitable for all fitness levels, though it's not recommended for pregnant travelers.
