The adventure begins with air-conditioned hotel pickup from your accommodation, transferring you to the La Romana marina. Upon arrival, you are welcomed aboard your vessel, a spacious catamaran or speedboat, where the crew provides a safety and snorkeling orientation. The cruise sets sail to the first stop, the protected marine area known as "The Wall" on the east side of Catalina Island. Here, you'll gear up with provided equipment for an hour of guided snorkeling amidst colorful coral and tropical fish.

After exploring the underwater wonders, the boat continues to the quiet, idyllic west side of Catalina Island. This pristine beach area is your haven for the next few hours. You are invited to relax under the palm trees, swim, or simply enjoy the open bar service (which includes domestic alcoholic drinks) and music.
