Catalina Island Snorkeling Tour From Punta Cana
Catalina is a beautiful island located in the southeastern part of the Dominican Republic, as a paradise that offers tourists the opportunity to dive in an exclusive area full of corals and multicolored fish. When you visit Catalina Island, you can do it all: a party boat with an all-you-can-drink bar, a great time for snorkeling, beach, swimming, and lunch. The 9.8 km2 are known for the great variety of corals and multi-colored fish for both: the diver and the divers.

Traveler reviews
“Catalina island is beautiful and surrounded by the most gorgeous water. The snorkeling was a little disappointing. We also found ourself waiting around for the staff a lot.”
“It was an enjoyable day, but there was a lot less snorkeling than we'd hoped for. We saw one sort of sad reef (a lot of damage to the coral). The staff who led the snorkeling activity did some things really horrifying to conservationists, like standing on coral and feeding the fish. We spent a couple hours on a lovely beach, including lunch with an open bar (tiny cups of beer, sangria, rum & coke). But we really would have preferred to spend that time snorkeling further. That said, Catalina is a very beautiful place and worth seeing. (The part of the beach where you can swim has a pretty rocky bottom, though.) A note about transportation: for so many of these kinds of excursions, it seems like you spend as much time in a van getting to where you want to be as you do at your activity. The transportation for this tour, however, was pretty efficient and straightforward. La Romana is not next door to Punta Cana, and getting in and out of Cap Cana will always involve security delays, but it all worked about as well as it could have. We waited about 45 minutes at the tour's home base for other groups to arrive in the morning, but got to visit with parrots and little kitty cats in a pretty courtyard with a pool.”
“Went in November 2023. Transportation from/to Punta Cana hotel went with no hiccups. They sent clear pickup details in advance and they were there at the planned time. There is a 20-25 mins boat ride to the island and sometimes the ride is bumpy, depending on the waves. Staff was very pleasant and helpful. We had time to relax on the island and they had beach chairs in the shade <3. Snorkeling is not as fantastic as I anticipated, but it was fun. We spent about 40 mins in the water. Lunch & drinks were nice. It's well organized and safe. I was told that the Saona island offers a comparable experience, but with a lunch not as good as this one. I recommend big time !!!”
“If you want to do a good and fun Snorkeling this is the tours you should book. You will really love it, Manuel's attention was very good and the food on the beach was exquisite. Do not miss it”
