An AMAZING must do experience while you are in DR. - I would like to start by saying WOWWW!!! What an amazing experience visiting the island of Catalina. From pick up to drop off, everything was Amazing. The crew under the direction of Captain Francisco are very professional, courteous, and very motivated in making the experience memorable for all guests. Captain Francisco was very informative and attentive. I am a native Dominican traveling back to see our beautiful country and this is one of the best excursions I have ever been in. The snorkeling was awesome. Captain Francisco was our guide and did an amazing job. He dove down to the bottom of the seas and brought up many starfishes for the guests including my children to hold. An experience my kids will never forget. The typical Dominican lunch was delicious. I will definitely do this tour again and recommend it to everyone. Best experience of our trip.

Great but long travel - It was a good experience the only but is the travel time- to get there it’s minimum 3hours. It took us about 3 different cars to get there. The catamaran is great. The crew is amazing it is just the long travel for it.

Beautiful Island but too long transportation time - Catalina Island and its beach are beautiful, the snorkeling experience is excellent, and the staff are nice and friendly. However, the transportation time is far too long. Out of the full 12-hour tour, there are less than 4 hours of actual time to enjoy the island and activities, which significantly reduces the overall experience.

Wasted day - Snorkeling was ok, but the whole day was 13 hours from our hotel and back, of which 30 minutes was spent Snorkeling and 1 hour on the beach and the rest was painfully long transfers, waiting and slow transport. Took hours to get everyone on and off the beach and boat. Felt quite disorganized and a waste of a day to be honest

Awful experience - It’s a major scam. Out of 11 hours on this trip we spent 6 hours on a bus, 3.5 hours on boat and only 1.5h on the island. We were told we’ll be picked up at the hotel lobby at 7.20, then we were told we need to walk up tot the security gate which is a few hundred meters away. The driver stopped multiple times for now obvious reason at different places and then at a large gas station where we spent 30 mins before we were told we’ll stay there for another half hour to pick up other passengers. You don’t get up at 6 am and pay money to by stuck for hours at a gas station in your holiday. The driver didn’t speak English at all and was rude. He played local music VERY loud and just ignored multiple requests to turn it down. He also drove dangerously. When the boat was approaching the island we were told there’ll be a 20 min stop for snorkeling. There was no fish there, absolutely nothing. The guide showed two stars, and that was it. Also they didn’t provide fins although it was stated that snorkeling equipment was included. Also no “wall” of the reef that was promised in the description. The island is nice but there are tons of garbage, very old sun beds, people who want you to buy souvenirs and are very pushy. The food was very basic and poor quality, and the eating area had a disgusting smell, so we didn’t want to stay there long. The people on the boat also play extremely loud music all the time and completely ignore the passengers’ requests. We and other people asked multiple times to turn it down but they just went on. The girl who was part of the crew danced and insisted everyone clapped. Overall, it was a total waste of time and money, don’t recommend at all
