3.Catamaran Party Cruise with Snorkeling & BBQ

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 45 reviews · from $84

Review of Puerto Plata’s Sosua catamaran party cruise, with snorkeling, BBQ, drinks, music, hotel pickup, and practical booking tips.

“The party boat was awesome!! It was the best day of our vacation for sure. The bus ride there is kind of long and you have to walk through a kind of sketchy feeling alley way with your guide but then once you’re on the boat, it’s the best day ever. The food is delicious, the drinks are very free flowing, the music is loud and fun! You get two snorkeling stops where the group can snorkel, swim, use fhe diving board or water slide, or just hang out on the boat. I don’t know that I’d personally bring little kids but there were a few and they had fun…”
