Traveler reviews
“The trip went well! We were with Passion Paradise as the Viator Tour Operator and the whole group were friendly and made everyone feel comfortable on board. We went snorkeling and the water was so clear! Lots of fish and beautiful coral reefs. ”
“Excellent tour and 2nd time in less than 6 months. Well worth the price and overall great time had by my family. We will continue to do this excursion everytime were in Punta Cana ”
“The great snorkeling experience! The water was easy to swim in. We had ample time in the water to enjoy the surroundings and nature! And the Lobster included with this package was amazing too!”
“Transportation: person that comes to pick us on the hotel in a beat up van, no ID for the company. Takes us to a gas station and we wait… he is not sure who will take us to the marina. Turns out he is the one taking us to the marina. At no point in the aviator, it tells that is 1:30hour drive to the marina. Once we get there, people with no identification that works for the company receive us. It feels very unsafe the whole experience of the transportation. Boat ride: crew doesn’t explain what we will be doing, they don’t present themselves or their names or talk with us. We wait, on the sun, for the boat to fill up with more and more clueless people like us. There are not enough life jackets for all of us and the one we manage to get, we’re broken on the buckle or strings. Snorkeling: it was so unsafe, the current was taking people away from the boat, to a point they ask us to come back. We still had to wait on the boat while other people were doing diving. It was not a good snorkeling spot for fish neither safety. Even though we stayed there for 1 hour. Island: boat stops far from the island and a smaller boat comes to pick us up. It was a lot of people on the little boat, no life jackets and people were sitting on the floor. Food on the island was ok. 3 hours on the island was too much, there was nothing to do, beach was rocky and hurt feet. We finish the trip without knowing any of the crew names, they didn’t offer any drinks. Other problems: in aviator, said that trip starts at Bavaro beach but it was a lie. It start 2 hours away from Bavaro. If I knew that, I would never had arranged this event. Overall waste of money and time that I could be enjoying at the hotel. ”
“4 hour travel time as driver not a clue of where boat was. 3 harbours later we finally had to jump a speedboat to join tour.... Supposed to be 40 max passengers yet counted over 60 on boat..... No info on length of snorkel time or time on island.. Food truly appalling, no where to sit to eat, deck chairs all occupied Mini bus full to capacity (this when tours supposed to legally operate at 75% capacity) No aircon in minibus.... And to top it off they push the tip box under your nose to coerce you into giving a tip for this crap.. Truly if stupid enough to book this trip you only have self to blame...”
