Small-Group Cruising and Snorkeling Catamaran Tour

1.Small-Group Cruising and Snorkeling Catamaran Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,401 reviews · from $99Our pick

Review of Punta Cana’s small-group catamaran tour, with snorkeling, a sandbar floating bar, hotel pickup, drinks, snacks, and a 16-person limit.

“We had a fantastic snorkeling adventure with David & Manatee Mike!! They were expert hosts and made it a great experience. We were lucky enough to be the only two on the boat, so we got to talk to them more. The fresh guacamole, fruit, and drinks were amazing. Have David make you a pineapple margarita, it is delicious! We did two stops at a snorkel spot where we saw tons of fish and then at a sandbar where we got to hang out and relax. The tour ended with an opportunity to shop. Would definitely book this tour again. It was our favorite we’ve done in DR.”

“While my family and I had a wonderful day, we did not take pictures because there was a photographer on the boat who did a great job taking pictures of all the wonderful moments that my almost 80yo dad had with all of his daughters and grandchildren. Upon arrival back at the beach, we immediately paid for the pictures to arrive on CD at our resort and it was never delivered. I have been now trying for 3 weeks to get the pictures emailed to me and I have received nothing. They will no longer even receive my calls, and all I want is the pictures from the day we…”

Punta Cana: Catamaran Tour with Reef Snorkeling and Open Bar

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 257 reviews · 3h 30m · from $74

Review of Punta Cana’s family-friendly catamaran tour with reef snorkeling, open bar, natural pool, beach stop, transfers, and snacks.

“The catamaran tour with snorkeling was fantastic! The team were friendly and very accommodating. They introduced the various members of the team and gave a clear explanation of what each guy did (Captain, bar guy, etc). The lunch was perfect (sandwiches, tortilla chips/salsa, fresh fruit, cake), drinks of all kinds were plentiful (at one point the drinks guy brought trays of drinks into the water for us to enjoy!). The snorkeling was handled very well. The boat had a slide (fun!) so half of the group went in the slide first while the others snorkeled then we swapped. We saw tons of fish on a reef. After that we went…”
