Cayó experience was top notch - Such a wonderful experience!! Beautiful and amazing. The photographer did a wonderful job. The ceviche deserves the chefs kiss! The food was delicious. The deck hands were incredible too. The bus ride from Puerto Plata was long but the beauty and wonder of Cayo made it worth it!

Just beautiful - The beautiful blue water. The drive to the boat was a bit long but it was a nice chance to see some countryside. The boat was a lot of fun and the drinks were never ending. The island was beautiful but unfortunately I got sun burned pretty bad so I was in a hurt to get bad. This is a great tour and you will have lot of fun - totally worth it!

A must do day trip in puerto plata - If I could I’d give it 10 stars. Great trip to the ocean “swimming pool” and sand dune. The drinks were flowing, awesome ceviche, and one of the best lunches. The drive and visit to the local village at the end was both scenic and culturally enlightening. The service was top notch by the crew!!!!

Phenomenal excursion and tour company! - The entire trip was beyond expectations! Our tour guide Julio was so informative on the rides to/from. Our driver Roberto got us there fast and safely! The boat crew was amazing! The snorkeling was very good and the lunch when we returned was delicious. I would highly recommend Runners tour group and the Catamaran tour to Paradise Island. We will definitely use them again if we can! 5-star!!!!

Everything was great stag... - Everything was excellent. The staff was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, creating a great atmosphere throughout the experience. The snorkeling was incredible, and the cameraman did an outstanding job capturing the moments. This tour is highly recommended. The only disappointment was the not being available lobster, which I had been looking forward to, was not available for lunch. Aside from that, everything was exceptional.

Disappointment - Very disappointed the driver had forgotten to pick us up at the hotel it took a lot of steps for a person to pick us up with this car to reach the bus in addition the guide do not speak absolutely French so complicated for us seeing we had chosen with French guide and on the spot said we stayed 30mm max me I find it really expensive for the max duration three hours after it is that of transport by coach and in addition read the very small line that stipulates by lobster 🦞 for some dates what is replaced by paella so disappointed again because when between lobster and paella it is really not the same me I recommend no provider too disappointed

Spent more time getting... - Spent more time getting there than the actual excursion. Wish more time was spent in the water. The actual island is smaller than in the pics. The guide was ok. Was hard to understand at times. The staff on the boat were constantly taking our drinks/plates without seeing if we were done with them. Need to relax a bit. As soon as we got to the place before getting on the boat one immediately tried to rush us to take our shoes off. They seemed so rushed. The food after the boat tour was great. Really don’t think it’s worth the price though.
