? Full Description
Begin your day with pick-up at your hotel in Punta Cana before a short transfer to the marina. Board a comfortable boat and set sail toward Catalina Island, cruising across turquoise Caribbean waters. Upon arrival you’ll receive a snorkeling briefing and be fitted with equipment before diving into the underwater world of “The Wall” — a dramatic coral drop-off teeming with tropical fish, stingrays and eels.

After the snorkeling session, you’ll head to the beach area of the island for lounge time: swim, sunbathe or explore the shoreline. A buffet lunch served beachside features grilled Dominican specialities, salads, tropical fruit and more, paired with drinks from the open bar. The remainder of the afternoon is yours to enjoy the island’s pristine beach atmosphere. By mid-afternoon you’ll board your return boat and be transferred back to your hotel in Punta Cana.
