Tranquil beach - Beautiful, tranquil beach and snorkeling. Calm water, crystal clear beach is so relaxing. I loved snorkeling along the left side where the rocks meet the water. Had a great day

Description Fraud! - We didn’t go to Catalina Island. There was no snorkeling, not even the mention of it. There were no dance lessons, only dancing on the boat on the way back. The trip getting to the actual tour bus was very sketchy. It took two hours by bus and almost two hours by boat to get to the island that we did go to only to get a mediocre lunch at best to sit by a beach that was also very mediocre in beauty for an hour and a half. The tour guide spoke very little English, but he was a great guide. Overall, it was very disappointing and the description of the tour is very misleading!

Nice time but no dancing - Snorkeling is pretty basic here - not a big variety of fish and 45 minutes for the activity. The island itself is an enjoyable experience. The beaches of Punta Cana had seaweed while we were there so this was how we got our fun in the water. Lunch was good (included vegetarian options). However there were no dance lessons or mention of dance lessons. This is why I'm giving only 2 stars.

This tour is terrible, and terribly unsafe - I took the Catalina Island with snorkeling and lunch tour from Bahia Principe in La Romana. It totally sucked. For one thing, the tour operator assured me I would not need to climb into or out of any boats in the water. And yet, I had to do it twice! Putting my safety and life at risk. No ladders. No steps. Just climbing. And the small boat had a tank of gas attached by a plastic hose to the engine. Again, so unsafe. And the lunch on shore? It cost me $116 American dollars for a fried fish, shrimp, plantains, and 4 beers. $116 USD. These Dominican excursions absolutely suck. They are terrible. Unsafe, and no one cares!!!! The snorkeling was without fins in very rough water. And we only had about an hour on the beach that took 2 hours to get to. The whole experience was terrible. Worse than terrible.

Tour operator never picked us up - still awaiting promised refund - Received confirmation day before advising will receive pick up time & place later that evening. Nothing rec'd, started calling # on confirmation, leaving numerous vm's. Also sent texts, no ans. Waited outside hotel 2 hours & no one showed. Finally found a different # & got ahold of someone. Somehow they dropped the ball. Offered to reschedule, but we already booked another trip & were leaving the next day. After many back & forth, they agreed to issue a refund, however, amount they quoted is not for the full amount of what was paid. Tried additional times to discuss the discrepancy but unresponsive. This is unfortunate, because it looks like a great trip.
