Island tour - Great trip, well worth the money, the island was beautiful, guides and boat crew were really friendly.
The only downsides was there was a photographer who would not take no for an answer, he continued to take photos and invading our space .
The photographs were very expensive, and again he was very pushy to sell them.
On way home each person were given and fitted with a bandana only for someone to come 10 mins after demanding $5

Beautiful experience - Beautiful experience thanks to the excellent organization of Viva Dominicus and our Italian guide Samuele Crudo ke made us have fun throughout the excursion! Professionalism and at the same time sympathy are the qualities of this guy that you see has in his heart the country that hosts him and told us the best! In short, beautiful places and guaranteed fun!

Good turn up vibes - I enjoyed celebrating my 40th on the boat. I was a little apprehensive as the crowd was mostly young but ended up having a really good time. The drinks are basic but strong! I regret not having lunch prior, you get vendors pulling up but their prices are too expensive. Overall, good vibes for a turn up.

Amazing minus the solicitors - The island is so beautiful and the staff that got us there were great and very helpful . The only reason I will not give this excursion 5 stars is because the people trying to sell you things on the island was so ridiculous. I just wanted to relax with my family and they literally will not leave you alone when you get there. I felt like I had to jump in the water to get away from them.

Paradise island - Very well organized! Total relaxation, when you just turn off your overthinking brain and go with the flow. Also, it was a nice opportunity to meet new people you wouldn't otherwise meet.
We did pick some trash on the beach that other tourists left there. Hope you all take care of your trash. It's a beautiful beach and let's keep it that way. Maybe the tour guides could emphasize this, too.

Decent experience - This was a fine experience. I arrived early to the beach and the communication was great for me to meet up with the rest of the group. They were responsive on WhatsApp and made sure I was with a guide so I wouldn't be left behind - we were a smaller group of about 5 people who were traveling with a single guide and he had us join various larger groups throughout the day to get on boats to get to the island and then to return from the island. We left around 11am (despite mandating we be there at 9:30). The food on the island was fine, nothing out of this world and didn't feel too uniquely dominican (we had chow mein style noodles with pork chops and rice). There was a lot of rum and coke flowing which was great, though not an open bar by any means - just rum and cokes. They did a great job watching our stuff while we spent time in the water and enjoying the beach. The boat ride back we were all sitting on the floor because there weren't seats on this boat (about an hour to an hour and a half ride), and it was also confusing who was a part of our group's staff and I had thought I was tipping the whole team for the day when I gave my tip to someone but then our group leader was upset with me for not giving the tip to him.
All in all, this was fine. I would've paid $30 and been happy with that but for a $70, probably not worth it.
