Full Description ?
Your journey begins with a comfortable pickup from your hotel, heading toward the colorful marina of La Romana. Upon arrival, you will board a catamaran and set sail for Catalina Island.

Next, we head to the shallower waters of "The Aquarium," perfect for seeing schools of tropical fish up close. After your snorkeling session, we dock at our private beach on Catalina Island. Here, you can spend the afternoon swimming in turquoise waters, lounging under palm trees, or exploring the shoreline. A traditional Dominican buffet awaits you, featuring grilled meats, rice, beans, salads, and fresh fruit.
