Full Description ?

Your full-day trip begins early with comfortable, air-conditioned transportation from your Punta Cana hotel to the port city of La Romana. Upon arrival, you will board your boat, often a catamaran, and set sail toward Catalina Island. The main event is the stop at "The Wall," a spectacular coral reef known for its incredible visibility and abundance of marine creatures. Snorkeling equipment is provided, and guides will ensure a safe and informative exploration of this underwater paradise.

Following the snorkeling stop, the boat will head to Catalina Island itself. Here, you'll be treated to a classic island retreat: hours of free time on the picturesque beach, where you can soak up the sun, swim in the calm, turquoise waters, or utilize the provided beach loungers. Lunch is a highlight—a freshly prepared, all-you-can-eat Dominican buffet featuring grilled meats, salads, and local favorites, served right by the sea. The open bar keeps the tropical drinks flowing throughout your beach time and the return trip. The return journey sometimes includes a panoramic view of the famous Chavon River, before you head back to La Romana and are transferred back to your accommodation in Punta Cana.
