Tour overview
Catalina Island is a small uninhabited island recognized for its stunning coral reefs, and as one of the best destinations for snorkeling in the Dominican Republic. We will begin the snorkeling excursion in the morning as we depart for La Romana. During the drive we will pass by the sugar cane fields as your guide provides interesting information about the history of the area, the general culture and the rum making techniques of the country. Upon arrival at La Romana, we will board our Catamaran and depart towards Catalina.
Our first stop on the island will be “The Wall”, a majestic coral wall that extends from the island to the Caribbean Sea. Here guests will be able to encounter various Caribbean fish species, including the parrot fish, French grunt and sergeant major. After snorkeling, we will make our way to a private beach club in “Playa Grande”, the finest beach on the island and exclusive only to our tour group. Upon arrival, guests will have access to 2 kilometers of white sandy crystalline beaches, a beach bar with drinks and a delicious Dominican BBQ lunch buffet right at Playa Grande. We will board the catamaran around 3:30pm, to return to Punta Cana after an amazing day snorkeling and relaxing at Catalina Island.

The trip to the snorkel and scuba location was enjoyable and the experience was amazing – the number and variety of fish was fantastic. We then went on to Catalina Island for lunch and snorkelling – absolutely beautiful.
