Excellent local snorkle experience! - We had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Lots of personalized communication & coordinating leading up to this visit. Richard picked us up from the port & drove us the 45mins to the beach location. He was very friendly, kind and SO accomodating! We geared up & walked right to the beach just steps away where we hopped in the boat with Alex our guide & journeyed to 2 snorkle spots. The snorkle gear was top of the line, the best & most comfortable flippers & masks we have used! We enjoyed the fish & coral views in the water & along the beautiful coastline. He even brought a GoPro camera & took photos of our experience that were sent to us right after! Everything went smoothly thanks to Lotta, Richard & Alex! Definitely a more local (not too touristy) experience. We highly recommend & would do it again! Excellent value, hospitality & customer service.

Fantastic excursion - Richard was a great driver to and from the ship. He made sure our experience was fun and relaxing. His crew that took us out was great. We made it back to the ship with plenty of time to spare. They take a go pro and send the pics afterwards for free.

Had a great time - The excursion was great. The boat crew was the best. They made sure everyone was well taken care of while ensuring we had a great time. The views were wonderful.

Great day in DR - Richard and Lotte were super accommodating to work around our schedule. Super helpful and great communication before the tour. Richard’s stories were fascinating. The recent storms have covered a lot of the corals, but there was a lot of fish still.

Excellent tour operator - Excellent tour operator. Very professional, punctual, and reliable. Boat crew for the snorkeling day were top notch. Highly recommended!

Personalized experience - The tour was generally excellent, exceeded expectations. We stopped a day in Puerto Plata on an MSC cruise. It seemed the least promising of the boat destinations but thanks to this excursion we ended up wanting to return. The agency's director, Eric, went to personally pick us up at the Tahino Bay cruise port exit. From there he took us to Sosua Beach, where after some explanations and being provided with the materials, we boarded a boat with two guides, only for 3 people. We made a very good snorkel, we saw large quantities of different fish. Afterwards we were able to take a freshwater bath and the agency provides free umbrellas and lounge chairs in Sosua Beach, where we were able to stay 2 more hours. The beach is very nice, with transparent waters, surrounded by greenery and mountains. Very good place for pictures. Then we were taken back to the pick-up point and were able to walk through the center for about an hour and a half more. Eric told us the visit to the Amber Museum where we could learn a lot about the Dominican Republic and buy local coffee and pieces of authentic amber, one or two blocks from the Cathedral. We wouldn't have gotten there if it wasn't for Eric Tours. Also in Sosua Beach we could taste traditional Dominican food and an excellent drink of Coco Loco served in the same green coconut.

Great operator and wonderful communication! - I had a snorkeling tour booked for January. Lotta, at Eric tours, was very helpful. I was traveling solo and she helped me book the excursion as a solo person (the TA website required a minimum of two travelers and I will not pay double just because I am going alone). Their communication was wonderful. Lotta texted me full instructions before the tour date for how to find the meeting place. Unfortunately, the waves were too rough and the tour was canceled. She texted and offered alternatives tours for me to consider. I would use this operator again in a hearbeat.

Eric tours puerto plata. - The tour was very well organized, the snorkeling was good and they really took good care of us, even took photos during the snorkeling and and send to all of us right after the tour. Can’t fault Eric tours for anything they do an amazing job. Experience is very personalized.

Good for snorkelers, not observers - The staff was incredibly friendly and did all they could to accommodate everyone in the party. The first stop had all kinds of fish and was very worthwhile. I didn't see as many on the second stop. The pictures taken and provided free of charge were a wonderful bonus! I would say that if small boats make you nervous, you need to be aware that this is that type of situation. It is not a catamaran where you can move around. It is a small boat and fully loaded with passengers.

okay experience - Snorkeling was ok. Boat was very small and difficult to get in and out of. Guides did not introduce themselves. Would not recommend this excursion for first time snorkelers.
