Great Day! - Safety, enthusiasm, cleanliness and pure fun! Lunch was better than expected, thoroughly enjoyed the sailing trip after snorkeling where there were lots of fish. Easy on and off the boat, good equipment and attentive staff. Highly recommend!

Fun day trip! - My daughter and I went on a full day excursion snorkeling with Tip Top Catamaran and had a fabulous time! Ailan was a great host, all of the staff were friendly and attentive. The lunch was decent "picnic" fare, the snorkeling was beautiful and the staff helpful to snorkeling newbies! Highly recommended if you want a day trip.

Fun on the Water - The water was A+ and love the tour guide! He was from Fort Lauderdale too and very friendly and accommodating!

Excellent Snorkling! - Wonderful experience on the Tip Top excursion! Our guide went out of his way to allow us to see an underwater statue as we snorkeled back to the group. It was an amazing experience, and we highly recommend! Thank you for being so kind and gracious!

Best experience!!! - This was one of the best excursions ever! The staff was amazing and the people aboard were lots of fun. This was my first time snorkeling and the staff took time to teach me and make sure I was ok. The views were beautiful and the drinks and lunch were awesome!!! Great job! Fun, fun, fun!!!!

More of a sailing cruise than snorkeling - The staff was top notch. Super accommodating, very friendly, entertaining and professional. Be aware you do start out with a small boat to board the catamaran for safety in active waves. You snorkel with other groups and in my experience it did seem rather crowded on our boat. By the time we got out there as the 4th shuttle boat some were disappointed the nets were taken. You do the 2 snorkel sites right away then a 3 hour sailing trip w/ free drinks after that. It was very rough seas. Do not recommend if you are sensitive or first time. We had to have a few shuttled off from sickness at first. But Alex and Staff took very good care of them during and arranged safe transportation all the way to their hotel. Very entertaining dancing and lunch was surprisingly abundant and delicious!

Snorkeling in the DR - What a great day in Amber Cove, snorkeling in three different areas and saw fish and sea turtles. The crew was great and entertaining, food was excellent as well as the drinks. At one point in the beginning a passenger dropped her phone into the water and a crew member dove in and recovered it now that is service! Recommended if you are in Puerto Plata.

Highly recommend - Great time and food was great also. Would have preferred clearer snorkeling in shallower water though.

Way overbooked - 1hr bus ride to Sousa, 1st stop snorkel the water about 20ft deep, the 'coral reef' was 15 wide and rpft long, quite a few fish. Second snorkel stop water 65ft, never saw a reef. The boat was ok, but was way over booked, your website says max 30, 78 passengers were on boat! Was this excursion missrepresented by Viator or tour operator? in either case something needs to be be done.

Worst operator for live aboard - While this is not Tip Top II (Galapagos) this is the same owner/operator. Tip Top II is currently unable to accept reviews, so this is my only recourse. Do Not Book with this operator!!! They basically stole my 20k and did not provide the trip. Long story, but worth the read. I purchased this trip for my father and I as a bucket list trip for him. We were so excited to go, had our bags packed, vaccines up to date, the works. We got notification the week of our departure that the trip was cancelled due to COVID. This was obviously not in my control. No refund was offered. When I pushed to have my fully paid for trip refunded, I was told I had to rebook or lose 70% of the trip. What? Really? Now here is the issue. Unwilling to lose 70% of my trip, we tried rebooking. COVID went on much longer than the world expected and still no refund was offered. Both my dad and I are pharmacists and actually own our own independent pharmacy. It took over a year to plan and organize our original trip and have licensed professionals to be able to cover our pharmacy for the time we would be away. (This was no small feat.) As you may or may not know, pharmacies administered about 70% of COVID vaccines. I live in a community of approximately 3,500, but administered approximately 25k vaccines. We were the first in our state to have the vaccine and people traveled from all over the state to us. You can fact check it, we were recognized by NYS with an Empire Award and a visit from our Governor. Not bragging, just setting the stage that we truly are our communities health care hub. Fast forward. A lot, I mean A LOT has changed. COVID has made it nearly impossible for me to hire pharmacists to be able to reschedule this trip. It took a year the first time. This operator has now decided that too much time has passed, and will still not refund the trip. They also will not let me reschedule for a date that I get to choose. Now mind you, I paid for an upper room with a balcony and the add ons I could as this was a one in a lifetime experience for my dad and I. As an essential healthcare worker, I am so disappointed and dismayed. For the past 3 years I have worked 7 days a week to help my community. The booking company and this operator are well aware of my situation, and sadly do not care. So now, I am out 20K for the trip of a lifetime that never happened. Buyer beware. I am heartbroken, saddened and disappointed that this is how this is being handled.
