Great family fun snorkeling adventure - We used trip advisor to find and book our excursion and we loved it! The snorkeling adventure was very family friendly as it claimed. We were two adults and two kids aged 12 and 9. The water in the bay we went out in was crystal clear, calm and so many beautiful shades of blue. It was about a 20 minute ride out to the first snorkeling place and then we worked our way back. We first were taken to an area in the bay that had about 15 ft depth. There were floaty devices for anyone who wanted them. We were given snorkels, fins and masks. We saw lots of fish and it was a great experience. The crew made sure everyone was comfortable in the water and showed us lots of fish and had food to feed the fish to get them to come close to us. Our kids also took the slide off the boat and also were allowed to jump off the side of the boat! They loved it. Our kids felt very comfortable in the water and adventurous so one of the crew took our family around the coral to see more fish. We then went to a shallower area of about 5 feet to snorkel. This area was unique because it is an area marine biologists are trying to grow human made coral to replace the coral being killed off in the ocean by human chemicals. We again saw lots of fish and learned a lot. The lunch on the boat was sooo good. Lots of choices, big portions and well made and prepared! There was a floating kitchen that we went up to and the staff on the boat served us. We had the surf and turf, seafood and the kids meals. We all liked our choices. A great experience that we were all very happy with! Thanks to the crew and to Ramon specifically. Thing to note: there are other snorkeling excursions that do use the same areas, a shuttle, picked us up at our resort, we picked up a few other groups on the way there that we’re not necessarily with our boat, we were dropped off at a meeting point for check-in near / at the beach, then we all walked to the beach through some shops, a water taxi took us to our specific snorkeling boat, there was about 20 people on our boat. We highly recommend this trip and had a great time!

Best Post-Wedding Group Activity! - We did a private 4-hour catamaran cruise on the Santa Maria the day after our wedding! We had a group of 45 people and it was the perfect sized boat! The service was great, transportation was smooth, the food was AMAZING, bar service was great, snorkeling was a great location - they brought bread into the water for us to hold so they could get pictures of us feeding the fish, the floating bar was very cool, machete man making coconut drinks on the private island was awesome, and Silverado was a fantastic guide and host!! They let us connect to bluetooth so we could DJ our own party and it was all perfect! The water slide was so fun, too! The customer service was incredible and they always answered so quickly on WhatsApp! Highly, highly recommend!!

A fantastic experience!! - We had the best time on this cruise!! The crew was fantastic and they absolutely made the experience amazing! We loved that we were able to snorkel in deeper water then again in a shallower area. All the sea life we were able to see was incredible. The lunch provided was fantastic - such a pleasant surprise (our experiences with provided meals on tours before have all been pretty mediocre). Another added bonus was the transportation to and from the cruise - a nice air conditioned bus. I highly recommend this adventure!

5* would definitely recommend - Just got back from the family snorkel tour. It was amazing. Can’t fault anything. Staff were friendly and informative, they made an effort to remember everybody’s name which gave a more personal feel. They took time with smaller children who may have struggled to snorkel and offered them “sea Uber” to get around. Food and drink was lovely, staff were eager to please and ensure everyone had a great time. Would recommend and would happily return for another excursion

Friendly crew, enjoyed... - Friendly crew, enjoyed experience. Never have been given waist flotation, excellent idea. Food was generous and good.

Family friendly awesome trip - Our family enjoyed the snorkeling, coconut rum drinks on the beach, seafood lunch from the floating kitchen, and hanging out on the sand bar. The guides/operators were great! Great experience

Perfect family paradise tour! - Amazing!!! My mom and I took my 4 kids ages 1, 2, 4, and 5. The tour was just as described. Snorkeling was beautiful and fun! The staff was awesome! so helpful with the kids. They were attentive and playful. Completely professional the entire time. All of the crew kept safety first. They had creative ideas and made sure everyone was enjoying the tour! Also, the entire tour was very timely. They kept on schedule but not in a rushed way. We were able to enjoy great food, water slide, swimming and snorkeling. We saw fish, stingrays, and turtles! Hands down best tour. Even transportation was great. Van picked us all up, air conditioning, smooth ride straight to the tour and back. No long lines or waiting! Would love to do this tour again! Perfect for families even with very young children!

Highly recommended!! - If I could give 6 stars to this tour, I would. Everything was great, the staff was very welcoming and nice, the food and drinks, and the 2 stops for snorkeling. My kids loved it, thanks for the experience!

Exceptional… Highly Recommend - I’ve done both this family snorkel excursion as well as the adults only… both with Hispaniola Aquatic Adventures, and both were exceptional. Shuttles were on time… friendly and helpful staff… great snorkel locations… small groups so it’s not crowded on the boats. And the food… AMAZING! They pull up to a floating and serve full entrees better than most resort food. I would give them 6 stars if I could… top notch!

Greatest family snorkeling experience - This was by far the best excursion that my family (2adults, 18, 16, and 8 yr old kids) experienced in Punta Cana. Ramon, Wally, and Juanita were great. They were very attentive and made us feel like VIP even though there were other families with us. Ramon and crew made sure we learned about corals and their importance as well as making sure we had fun too. Oh, and the food was tasty too!
