Embracing the Rain: A Weekend in La Romana

Snorkel at “The Wall,” where the underwater world comes alive with vibrant marine life. Afterward, enjoy a Dominican feast on the beach, prepared by a renowned local chef. The afternoon is yours to relax, snorkel, or simply enjoy the open bar. As one recent visitor reviewed on July 7th, 2024:

Amazing experience - Our family had a blast by having the trip to Catalina Island. On time pick up, very organized and smoothly going transportation to and back. Boat entertainment was fun. Snorkeling was great and interesting too, we did see lots of fish. At Catalina, we did have tasty lunch with a variety of drinks to choose from. We are a family of 4 with 2 kids ages 11 and 8 and this excursion worked so well for all four of us! We highly recommend this for those who are still thinking go or do not. Go!
