The VIP tour to Paradise Island starts early in the morning because we like to get to the island before all the other tourists arrives. It is an amazing feeling to be alone on the island. This tour is a great way to spend with your family and friends. The pick up time is at 5:30 am from Cabarete, 6:00 am from Sosua and at 6:30 am from Puerto Plata. First we drive to Punta Rucia and from there with a speed boat to " Cayo Arena " ( the local name of Paradise Island ), where turquoise water and white sand will welcome you. On the Paradise Island you will get fresh fruits and drinks. Discover the bright colorful reef with all kinds of fishes on our snorkeling tour, or just enjoy the sun and the beach at this beautiful place. Before lunch we visit the national park of Monte Cristi with its mangroves. On the way back we will make a stop at Playa Estero Hondo to have look at the Manatees ( sea cows ).

First you need to realize that it is about a 2 1/2-hour bus ride from Puerto Plata to the boat and an all-day trip. Leave your shoes behind and board and you get free drinks and snacks on a short ride over beautiful water to a sand bar where you can snorkel over reefs and see fish. The day we went the weather turned cloudy and the wind picked up and rained a little. Was pretty good, but I saw more fish at Turks and Caicos. Then more drinks and time on the beach before the trip back. Stopped for more drinks in the water at a shallow sand bar, which could have been better, because it was pretty windy by then and started to rain. Then cruise the mangroves looking for manatees (we didn't see any), before having lunch with lobster back at the Paradise. Then bus ride home. Definitely recommended.

We booked this tour through our resort, Cofresi Palm. This excursion DID NOT disappoint in ANYWAY! The bus ride to the excursion was a little over an hour, but was very scenic. The staff on this excursion were all AMAZING, Jose, the on board photographer took amazing pictures. You pay for them up front, then he sends you a link to download them later. VERY RELIABLE and TRUSTWORTHY!! Jason was our.. or should I say MY bartender!! LOL.. He was on the ball and quick to refill your drink and get you another one. He swam us around Paradise island, which is a natural reef. He had food in a bottle and was feeding the fish as we snorkelled along. I could NOT count the amount of fish. At one point he swam down a good 20 feet, and slowly came back up to the surface feeding the fish along the way.. IT WAS SPECTACULAR!! I highly recommend this. Once back on the mainland we were treated to an AMAZING lunch buffet. I am NOT a huge fan of lobster, never have been. The lobster they served at the buffet was mouth watering and this comes from a guy who isn't crazy about lobster!! jussaying. thank you for an amazing day and thank you to my new friend Jason for taking care of us... MUCHAS GRACIAS AMIGO!

Richard notre guide était vraiment attentionné. Nous étions seulement 4 personnes. Nous avons eu droit à un petit déjeuner et un dîner dans un petit hôtel. La plongée en apnee super. Balade dans les mangroves très intéressante.
