We were so happy with choosing this island excursion, we loved our tour guides and the islands are SO beautiful. The guides sprinkled in so much interesting history and facts about the Dominican the entire day- it was fascinating.
Some things worth mentioning:
- This is a FULL DAY and an early day.
- Restroom stops are limited, but you are near an ocean the majority of the day.
- The vibe of this tour is more relaxed and low key compared to some of the party catamarans we saw arriving.
- Life vests were provided on the speed boat throughout the day
A little layout of the day:
This is a FULL DAY as mentioned. There were only 11 in our group and transportation to and from the hotel is about 1.5 hours (There is a stop for coffee and restrooms on the way there) (we’re we’re the furthest hotel so pick up at 5:45AM and drop off about 7pm)
About 40 minutes on a speed boat to the island.
We had breakfast (sandwiches, fruit and juice) did a tour this small beautiful island and learned about turtle conservation
From there we went to another island (about 1 - 2hrs) Here drinks were available from a cooler. Water, beer, handle of rum, and juices and plastic cups.
Next stop was the next island we stayed at for longer maybe about 2.5 - 3 hours. Lunch was a beautiful fresh buffet with a good variety of options including vegetarian options. Open drink cooler was available while at this island as well as restrooms.
On our way back to the car for transport we stopped to snorkel with live starfishes and another stop to deep sea snorkel. Open drink coolers was available during this time until they ran out of drinks.
Restrooms stop before you head back to the hotel and a bit of a drive back depending on location of your hotel.
We had an AMAZING time. Would recommend!
