We really wanted to swim with dolphins but ended up opting for the "reef explorer". It was all very well organised, we got taken out a GIANT float by boat. On the float we could get our massage, swim with sharks, swim with stingrays, kayak and swim with the fish. Don't forget to feed the fish with bread - they... More

“Great time”

Reviewed March 16, 2012

This is a wonderfully relaxing 4 hours. Swimming with the rays and nurse sharks is a good experience. The rest of the offerings are relaxing and fun. The folks that work there are friendly and helpful and want you to have a good time. More

“Excellent Tour!!”

Reviewed March 4, 2012

The tour is not an all day tour. It's approximately 3 hours but it's definitely worth it. If you like to Snorkel and you are up to an adventure by swimming with the Sharks and the Sting Rays it's awesome. I also enjoyed the 15 minute massage that they gave. It was great having a full body massage while on... More

“Also feel it was a waste of money.”

Reviewed March 1, 2012

We have taken many executions in different countries over the years and this is the only one that I feel I wasted money while on vacation. We paid over $135 per person for a half day executions so we did have high expectations. Started off bad as we were picked up at resort 45 minutes late. "Tour guide" on bus... More

When you are given the floating belt and the snorkeling mask, the guide lists all the activities available on a microphone (he lists them on the beach first)... More

“Fun but overpriced”

Reviewed February 26, 2012

We were very excited when we booked this excursion because it looked awesome. Originally, we were not considering this trip because my boyfriend doesn't swim,but we were told that there would be platforms and several areas with water that was only waist high. That sold me, because I really wanted him to experience snorkeling. We actually chose this trip over... More

This was a great afternoon for all in my party for different reasons. My parents who are both seniors joined my wife and me on the excursion. My mom, who is not confident in the water, had a guide stay with her while she swam on the reef. She did see lots of fish and reef life even though she... More

“Don't waste your time or money on this 'excursion'”

Reviewed February 5, 2012

person found this review helpful

We were looking forward to this excursion near Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, because it advertised 10 great activities in one afternoon, including swimming with sharks, massage and kayaking, as well as lunch and a 'healthy bar'. We were told by the tour agent that there would be 20 people on the trip, so at $125 each it seemed like good... More
