Wow, what a trip! - Wow, what a trip! We saw so many colorful fish at the reef. The sharks and rays were amazing! We didn't want to leave. Many thanks to Luis and his crew for a very memorable excursion. The boat was shaded, there were bathrooms on board, the snacks and drinks were delicious and plentiful. The visit to the private beach was a wonderful surprise. This was a very relaxed excursion. Definitely not a party boat, but still had the boozy vibes. I wish we could rate this tour higher. If you are looking for a chill experience in the beauty of the DR, this is the trip for you. We would take that boat ride any day!

Helpful upbeat crew - We had 3 adults and 3 children. We a great time. My 6 year old Grandson was afraid to get into the water. One crew member talked him trough it, helped him into the water and taught him how to snorkel. My Grandson didn't want to get out of the water after that. The crew was funny , upbeat with lots of dancing. We didn't see many fish but the sharks and stingrays were really cool. The sharks were bigger than me. We were disappointed that we couldn't hold the stingray for photos and we weren't allowed to take our own photos. They stopped it because the stingrays were dying which is understandable. I wish the enclosure was bigger for the sharks and stingrays.

Thank you Derly and team x - Derly was AMAZING. I am not a confident swimmer and he helped and guided me the whole way. He was informative, calming and brought the fun factor! Can’t thank him and his team enough for giving me an experience I never thought I would be lucky enough to have. Thank you.

Shark encounter - We had a great time, our group was a blast. The sharks were amazing. I'd definitely consider this more of a booze cruise then snorkeling, but still had a good time

Unable to to due to weather. - We had good communication with them however we weren’t able to go because of the weather. They tried to push the time back a few hours but the waves were still to rough, the ended up canceling 30 minutes before we were supposed to go.
