Itinerary and highlights
This amazing excursion starts with the hotel pickup from Punta Cana or Bavaro for the drive to the Marina of La Romana.
Next, you'll be welcomed aboard the catamaran by the crew with tropical refreshments. Your PADI-certified dive team tells you about the health and safety procedures on board and provides a diving briefing, and snorkeling, assisting you with finding the equipment that best fits you. When this procedure is out of the way, depart the marina, setting a course for the east side of Catalina Island to a diving and snorkeling site well known as "the Wall", which caters to both novice and expert diving. Life jackets are available to anyone that requires one. You will enjoy refreshments and music selected by the entertainment team to keep you energized during the boat ride. After about 30 minutes of cruising, arrive at the diving and snorkeling site, where you can snorkel to discover the natural marine beauty. You can expect clear waters with incredible visibility and an amazing underwater ecosystem.
Afterward, re-board the boat and head to the west side of the island to visit a private beach. Here, a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic refreshments are available as you relax and enjoy yourself on the beach. Snorkeling equipment is available at the bar if you wish to snorkel again off the shore. For lunch, enjoy Dominican cuisine prepared by a renowned local chef. Eat pork, chicken, salads, pasta, and local fruits, all prepared in a hygienic kitchen. After lunch, the rest of the afternoon is yours to relax; you can snorkel or swim again, enjoy the open bar, or just listen to the waves and soak up the sea breeze.
When your time on the island is over, board the boat for the ride back to the marina, enjoying music and light refreshments at the bar.
Upon arrival at the marina in the late afternoon, a bus takes you back to your hotel or place where you were picked up.
