Amazing boat and crew! - My family had a perfect day on the Tip Top 2 boat! We were lucky to have amazing weather with not a single cloud. Snorkling was good, many different fish and not too deep, close to coral reefs. The crew were some of the most respectful and helpful people we have met so far on our trip. They went out of their way to help my seasick sister. The food was good and the drinks too. Everyone danced with us throughout the boat ride. Thank you Papo, Cypress, Benjamin, Abel, Sonia, Alice, and Maui!

More Snorkeling Please! - A nice trip on the beautiful coastline in a big catamaran! What a great way to see the island. Snorkling was at 2 different locations in Sosúa bay with beautiful colorful fish, corals and sponges. The crew fed the fish, bananas and bread, which made them come even closer. Ultimately our disappointment around snorkeling was that it was short - we were in each spot for about 25 minutes. The spots where we snorkeled had other TipTop boats and other “party boats” with other snorkelers which made the spots more crowded and less enjoyable and relaxing as we were hearing loud music and trying to evade bodies in the water. The crew was very nice and worked hard to entertain us, but sometimes taking it a little too far. When they could sense our enthusiasm was waning, they started to try to hype up the energy. They would pretend to douse people with large buckets of water; which turned out to be empty and squirt people with water guns. My group was most interested in snorkeling and would have preferred at least one person on the crew who was familiar with and could talk to us about the biodiversity of the area. The fish themselves were very beautiful and the visibility the day we went was great. When we came back aboard we thought we would go back to where we started. Instead we went all the way to the far side of the island which turned out to take another two hours on the boat. It was uncomfortable as there wasn’t a lot of seating and very little shade. The food seemed to cater to American tastebuds and it didn’t seem to provide an authentic Dominican experience. A lot of people were in it for the unlimited alcohol after the meal was served, and that became readily apparent. It definitely turned into a party boat. After two hours we docked in the Ocean World Marina. There was confusion on where to go but bus transport arrived - included in the fee. It was such a tough end to the day to spend over an hour on a hot crowded bus when we could have just ended our time at Sousa Bay where we started.

Super boring and not worth it! - Unfortunately, I did not enjoy this excursion. Both spots we snorkeled were identical with only like 4 species of fish and that was it. After a very mediocre lunch, we spent nearly 3 hours sailing and doing nothing. Very boring and felt like a waste of time. I would not recommend it. Not worth the $$$ you pay.
