? Full Description

Your adventure begins with a convenient hotel pickup. You travel by bus through lush sugar-cane countryside to La Romana, then board a motorized catamaran for a scenic ride to Isla Catalina. Upon arrival, you dive first at The Wall — a dramatic coral reef wall — then head to the “Aquarium,” another dive site famed for vibrant marine life. Each dive lasts about 40–45 minutes.

After diving, you’ll transfer to the island’s beach area. There, enjoy a delicious Dominican buffet lunch with barbecue and access to a beach-bar serving drinks. The rest of the day is yours to unwind — swim in turquoise waters, stroll on white sand, sunbathe or simply relax by the sea. Later in the afternoon, board the catamaran for the return journey, ending a roughly 10-hour long excursion back at Punta Cana.
