What’s the experience like?

“Look at that one!” our guide called out, pointing just below the surface as we floated side by side. The water felt warm against my skin, and I could hear the gentle slap of waves against the boat before we slipped in. Getting fitted for gear at the dive shop was quick—mask snug, fins just right—and then we were off, cruising past locals fishing from the rocks and kids splashing near the shore.

The boat ride only took about five minutes, but it was enough time to feel that salty breeze and watch the coastline drift by. Out on Sosúa Bay, sunlight danced on the water and you could see straight down to patches of coral. Our guide swam with us the whole way, pointing out a tiny pufferfish hiding in a crevice and some bright blue tangs darting around. I liked how he checked in often, making sure everyone felt safe—especially when a couple of us drifted toward deeper water.

We had two different spots to explore, each with its own mix of colors and creatures. Between sessions, there was fresh fruit and cold water waiting on board—simple but perfect after swimming around. Back at the shop by mid-afternoon, I rinsed off under an outdoor shower while chatting with another traveler about which fish we’d seen. If you’re new to snorkeling or just want someone to show you what’s what, this Sosúa Bay snorkeling tour really covers it all.
