Best Excursion. Would Do it Again. - One of the best excursions I've ever been on. The crew was warm, friendly, and engaged. They personally guided us on each snorkeling outing. The food was freshly prepared and very bountiful. The boat itself was spacious, clean, and fun... with a slide and jump off at the top. Bonus on the underwater photos they took and provided for free.

Simply AMAZING - We had an amazing experience with the private aquatic adventures of Hispaniola as a family. They came to pick us up at our hotel and took us to an amazing beach where we boarded our private catamaran. We there meet with Josias and the crew and the magic started!!! We were 3 adults, one kid (8 years) and our baby (3 years). The crew was amazing, we felt so confortable, they took care of us, very friendly and so nice to our kids. We did some snorkeling, saw amazing life in a protected area. We saw so many fishes, the crew gave the kids some food to give the fish and they had the time of their life! Also... we went to pick up our lunch on a kitchen boat and the food was AMAZING! I 100% recomendable this, it was the best experience of our Punta Cana trip!!! Thank you so much Josias and team!

Amazing Family Friendly Snorkel excursion! - Amazing experience! The tour operators (Baby and Crew) were great with our kids who have never snorkeled before. We made two stops and saw plenty of fish, one that was 22 ft deep and one that was just under 5 feet. Our family loved the water slide on the boat. The lunch was amazing! We got the seafood lunch and it was the best lunch we had during our time in Punta Cana. On our way back we also saw turtles. Without any hesitation, we would highly recommend this tour. Would love to do this tour again the next time we are in Punta Cana.

Great time! Book it! - My two girls (11 and 20) and myself had a great time. We were picked up from our resort on time, provided full transportation throughout. We made two stops to snorkel in the deep end and swallow waters for those that were a bit afraid. The staff were so friendly and helpful. It was my youngest child first time snorkeling, she was a bit nervous and the staff stood by herself, and made her experience the best! They provided a tasty lunch and unlimited drinks. They took photos of our experience (we still waiting for those). Overall I would recommend this excursion for families with children! Go for it!

Perfect trip with children - Great trip, we were the only family on the trip and the team took great care of us, every wish was fulfilled. They showed us the coral reef and how to rebuild it. Perfect day, I would recommend it to anyone who has children. We were with two children 7 and 10, the slide into the sea as well as jumping from the upper deck into the sea were only a highlight for the boys. Thanks to the team. Always happy again.

AWESOME DECISION!!! - I booked this on their website. Our hotel (Amstar) did not offer this package so please do not be afraid to book on your own! The resorts will advise against it but it's totally harmless and you get a better experience. Ramon, Silverado, and the rest were absolutely the best tour guides. So attentive and friendly and informative (they do a demonstration on how to help with the coral issues which I like that my kids learned something!). We were blessed to be the only ones on the boat (wife and three kids 14,12,10)-others cancelled last minute and we were surprised they still took us out-that's how kind there are. The floating kitchen was pretty cool and the food was actually really good. Snorkling was awesome-the fish take the food right out of your hand but be careful-the one with the pyramid head bit my finger! (didn't really hurt). There's a slide and they also let us jump off the top of the boat. We saw stingrays and turtles while moving from each destination. A turtle even surfaced right near us. Best tour we've ever taken and there's been numerous. Only issue (OUR FAULT) is that we didn't realize Dominican pesos are different than Mexican pesos so when we tipped them we probably appeared pretty cheap (thought it totaled $200 us but it was really $64!!). Contacted them and made up the difference using What's app but still felt pretty bad because they were soooo nice! They used a GOPRO throughout the whole day but we're still waiting on getting the pictures (hoping they still exist after our "cheap" tip, haha). CAN NOT RECOMMEND this company enough! Hope you book and if (WHEN) you do-ENJOY!! **my first ever review of this kind so it must be good!
