Punta Cana Boat Cruise and Snorkeling with Open Bar

This tour did not meet expectations and did not include what was specified in the title. The listing is called “Punta Cana Boat Cruise and Snorkeling with Open Bar,” but there was no snorkeling at any point. The atmosphere was more of a party boat with loud music, including a mix of pop, reggaeton, and dance music. To be fair, it was not hip-hop music, so that may align with expectations since we did not book the hip-hop version of the tour. The boat itself was older and had some maintenance issues. For example, there were no ladders to climb back onto the boat during the swimming portion. And to be clear, this was just swimming, not snorkeling, and no snorkeling equipment or activity was offered. The description also mentioned nachos, which would have been a more substantive snack than the light fruit that was available. The fruit was good, but since the tour started at 11:30 a.m. and overlapped with lunchtime, it was noticeable that the crew brought their own takeout meals on board while there was very little food offered to guests. This might suggest that the tour should be priced slightly higher and include a proper lunch. I’m rating it 3 out of 5, rather than lower, because it was still a decent value overall. The transfer was included, and the staff was friendly across the board, from the driver to the crew to the check-in team. That said, they should deliver what is advertised. I’ve taken a similar tour recently and did receive what was promised, so this was a disappointment this time.

Had a little private photoshoot on the boat which we loved and bought, snorkelling was amazing and the crew kept dropping bread so fish would come. Then had a perfect walk along a little island where we learnt how to crack open coconuts from the photographer (this wasn’t part of the experience but we just got chatting with the photographer and wanted to show us). Would definitely do this again :)

This catamaran experience was great. Only drawback was the transfer from shore to boat which was quite the experience, but after that it was a great time !

Only me and my partner on the boat today and my god we had the BEST day! The staff onboard were so attentive and welcoming. We stopped at a snorkelling spot, then went to see the dolphins/sharks at a natural habitat and then went onto the natural swimming pool. Couldn’t fault the staff. Even though there was only 2 of us, we had the best time! Just be careful of the extra costs when it comes to the swimming pool, a guy came over and put a monkey/parrot on my head, took pictures on MY PHONE and tried to charge us 300 dollars. Ended up pulling up down to 90 pound. Crazy. But aside from that we had the best day!!!! Thank you so much. X

My family was picked up on time from our hotel and then picked another family up from another hotel and went to the company where the boat is parked in the ocean. We quickly boarded the boat. We first snorkeled for about 20 minutes and saw some fish. Staff made sure we had everything we needed for snorkeling. We then went on a cruise where a photographer took many pictures of the families which could be purchased at the end. We were taken to an enclosed area where we could see some dolphins and a baby shark. We them went to a bay where many other boats were anchored and we could swim in a shallow area. Two parrots were also brought out and they were put on our shoulders. We then went back to the start and our driver took us back to our hotel. The staff were fun and had select drinks for free and were always there to give another drink. The music they played was fun. They also served us some fruit and nachos . The only thing that put a damper on things a little for us was the weather as it was cooler with rain half the time, which is out of their control. Enjoyed the experience

Fun trip! Enjoyed the multiple stops and water slide. Staff was super attentive and friendly. It was a really great day!

This was a great trip out to the reef to snorkel and also then spend some time in shallow water just relaxing and having drinks.

Highly recommended!!! Five stars service. Very courteous and friendly crew, willing to provide the best entertainment. I was by myself during my visit to the Dominican Republic, but never felt alone. The cruise was very fun, got to meet different people of all different ages and loved the experience, as well as the snorkel. I will certainly come back to DR and Punta Cana and will take my family to this cruise. Nicolas is super nice and made everything for me to feel comfortable. Fair price!

Traveling to Punta Cana with friends was an amazing experience! We really enjoyed the snorkeling, the treatment of the staff on board was very helpful and fun. The relaxing time and views in the natural pool was ideal to close a beautiful morning. I definitely recommend it..

An incredible morning in Punta Cana. Great hospitality, vibes and fun. The snorkeling area was amazing !! Very friendly staff. We will be back.. 100% recommend (5 stars)
