Amazing and Fun Trip - The team that drove us on land and sea were great! They made sure everyone had a good time. Matthias was incredible. He was conscientious of my 7 year old daughter and my wife. I so appreciated him. The island swimming and snorkeling was amazing. To top it off through the Mangroves. Trip is worth it!!!

The highlight of our trip - This was the highlight of our trip. We chose the VIP tour which included a larger boat with snacks and drinks and lobster for lunch. Worth the extra money! The natural pool and Paradise island were amazing. Great swimming and snorkeling. It was the best tour with everything provided. Staff were great! I wish I could have gone again, but it was a 2-hour trip from our hotel.

Great Snorkeling - We did 4 excursions on this vacation and this was the best one. The snorkeling at the island is great. The food and drinks were great. We did some of the mangroves slowly learning about them and the wildlife, then we did a neat speed boat trim through some of them. The transport is a bit long from Peurto Plata, but well worth it.

A BLAST in the Paradise Sun 🌞 - The drive to get to Paradise island was about 2 and half hours long but Matias and Emanuel kept us entertained all the way.

Doesn't live up to name Paradise - Ours was a different tour, with pigs instead of mangrove, but island part and natural pool is same, vips were on boat for first part then we took a speed boat to see pigs. Paradise Island didn't live up to name. It is small, packed full of people, boats constantly coming and going. It is protected so only thing that can touch the sand is your feet, all bags and such have to hang in cabana. Not sure if it is always rough, but very hard to swim with waves constantly pushing you around, even the few fish you see in water are having trouble swimming straight. We were on a catamaran but i was expecting the big sailboat with the cargo net in front. Nope only ones I saw down here were solid hull motor driven. Experience was nowhere near what you would find in cuba or Puerto Rico which we have done previous years around same time. There was a stop in a natural reef pool which was nice. If you have nothing to compare the whole trip to you will like it.
