62yo and best caribbean tour I've EVER done - Just went on this tour and I wish I could express how great it was. All I can say is I been all over the carribean and taken MANY excursions and this was the best. I unfortunately went without my wife but just wanted to get out on the water and I love to snorkel - my wife is afraid of snorkeling. 1) The crew was sincerely nice - I WANTED to tip them. Another couple didn't bring money and also wanted to tip them so I gave them $20 and told them to put it in the church collection when they got home or pay it forward. 2) The food was awesome and I'm a foodie. I had the ceviche and wanted so badly to finish it but couldn't (fyi more chips would have made it an 11 out of 10). The other couple had surf and turf and he said it was better than the resort he was at. 3) I know I got lucky but my fellow passengers were so fun and funny - one big guy was pole dancing but not in a gross way. I just loved watching everyone dancing and enjoyed the music. 4) they did 3 stops and I only did snorkeling at oned - beach and bar in water the other two - I just enjoyed soaking up the sun. Shout outs to Wilken and the hole crew. TRUELY my BEST caribbean experience. I might even go back before I leave.

Perfect trip! - This excursion has close to 500 5 star reviews and it’s no wonder. Fantastic customer service leading up to the trip and communication. Day of the trip it exceeded all expectations. The crew was amazing, over the top helpful and polite, perfect trip for the family. Saw lots of fish even though we were not expecting to see much in the Punta Cana area. The meal on the boat was amazing and portions were huge. What an amazing day!!!! Would give it 6 stars and highly recommend. Can’t say enough.

Great for kids and first timers - This was a great experience, especially for my children who were all snorkeling for the first time. We took our four kids, and two are high anxiety children (ages 5 and 11), and it looked like it wasn't going well, but Ramon stepped in and got them both calm enough to try, and of course they ended up loving it! The trip was entertaining, and we loved the slide too. We were given fish food which helped the snorkeling to be more fun because the fish came right up to you! The food was not bad. You never know on these kinds of excursions, and while this has no Michelin star, I enjoyed my seafood plate. I've never had spiny lobster before (just a large shrimp, really), and the even the octopus was better than I thought it would be. As for the bar on board, it is just rum, vodka, beer, and sodas. Again, I wouldn't expect a full service bar, but the options are limited. Overall, this was a good experience, and my kids have told me how much they loved it.

Great value for money. - First we had a nice little informative talk on corals and their restoration efforts. The marine biologists was very nice and friendly. On the catamaran, Ramon and his crew were very patient and attentive. We were first time snorkelers and they were always around and took time to guide us and teach us the reins. The music and atmosphere was very friendly and relaxed and they were always on hand. The seafood lunch and snacks were excellent and well portioned. We had a very enjoyable time and would recommend this tour.

I’ve done other trips... - I’ve done other trips with this company and had a great time. First, Baby and his team was amazing overall. no complaints at all about the staff. Since we had a kid with us on this trip we wanted something more family friendly. Learning about coral reefs was really interesting. It was especially cool to learn from an actual marine biologist. I was drawn to the conservationist theme of this trip which is why I was thrown when the last attraction on our boat ride was to see dolphins in a tiny dirty enclosure. The dolphin enclosure was operated by a different company so it was really just a drive by but it left a really bad taste in my mouth. Speaking of bad tastes the food was nearly inedible. Like I said I’ve done at least 2 other excursions over the years with this vendor and the food has been great. This time my fish was raw, everything was cold, very little flavor, just overall really not good.
