Great choice.

Published on Jun, 2024

Excellent family trip. Great food. Nice staff. Not too much time for snorkeling but it was perfect for us. We saw sting ray, starfish and had a good time in the beautiful water.

Amazing!

Published on Jun, 2024

We had a great time with Dominican Attitude. Our guidebs were great with the kids. We had a 3 and 6 year old with us snorkeling. We were let off of the cruise late which cut into our tour, however, the guides made arrangements to ensure that we still got to at least see all of the stops on the tour. I wish we had more time to see the turtles and starfish, however, the excursion was great. The pictures don't do the islands visited any justice. I'm defined going to try again flying into the area.

Fabulous

Published on Feb, 2024

Such a wonderful day! Well organised trip. Even when we got a puncture it was sorted quickly without fuss. Our guide Christian and his team made it a special and enjoyable day packed full of facts, fun, food and laughter. Photos taken of the experience were brilliant too. A very memorable day

A+++ YOU MUST BOOK THIS TRIP!! 5*

Published on Feb, 2024

You should book this trip instead of the P&O organised one. The payment is taken a couple of days before you arrive in case you need to cancel. Speedboat ride was great with fabulous beachside scenery in the way to Saona. Snorkels, masks and fins provided. Stops include the turtle incubation nursery, a Caribbean barbecue on the beach and private beach stop for coral reef snorkelling (about 200m from beach edge). Also stopped at Mangrove to see turtles and stingrays in the sea and at Natures Garden to go padding amongst starfish, plus stopped mid sea to feed some friendly birds birds. It has more stops than P&O organised tour, full of fun and excitement and the hosts are very hospitable and the free rum on tap! Only take this trip if you enjoy drinks on tap, dancing and laughs all day. Got back at 5pm in plenty of time for boarding. Justine, El Capitan and the crew took good care of us all day.
