Great value for the money, and a fun trip! Small group the way to go, and the service & friendliness were wonderful. Just the right amount of time out, three varied destinations (meal at end), and though the reef was somewhat depleted, still some nice fish to view. Food was fine, not great, and you might want to take extra snacks. And lots of sunscreen!

Had a great tour this morning Jan 10, 2025 with Wilkin and crew. The snorkeling was great, food was delicious drinks were flowing.

I can’t express how refreshing, fun and easy this experience is. There were basically only families with kids and it was amazing to participate with everyone. Even though I was solo, people and crew were so friendly that it made me laugh and feel part of the group. I would 100% return. We saw mantas and turtles. It was a lovely day.

Our best day in Punta Cana! Everything was so smooth and fun. Picked up right on time, some learning from an actual marine biologist, easy transition out the boat and got to snorkel with lots of fish. The entire crew was so great, so attentive and fun. They provide two small snacks, a tasty lunch and all the drinks. We had our 3 kids and they had a great time. Do not hesitate booking with this group, we would do it again.

The trip was very intertaining and relaxing, everything was well organized, fishes,, dishes, views, and appreciated.

Did a private, 4-hour snorkeling cruise with an extended family of 6 on a motor catamaran. The crew was incredible. That includes Luis (captain), Angel (bartender), and especially Wilkin who served as our tour guide. Wilkin’s energy and attention really kept us interested and engaged throughout. The crew also kept us well fed and the drinks flowing for the duration of the cruise. Would definitely recommend.

Our group had an absolutely unforgettable experience on this excursion —it truly exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we were picked up at our hotel until we were dropped off at the end of the day, the service was nothing short of VIP. We were a group of 19 people, including 10 adults and 9 children aged 7 to 14. From the seamless transportation to the warm welcome upon arrival, every detail was handled with precision and care. The process of boarding the boat was well-organized, and from that point on, we knew we were in for an incredible adventure. The activities were perfectly curated for everyone in our group. Snorkeling was a highlight, offering breathtaking views of vibrant marine life. Wilkin, our guide, was exceptional. He went above and beyond to ensure everyone was safe, comfortable, and having fun. He accompanied us into the water, pointing out different fish and guiding the kids so they felt confident and secure. He also added a personal touch by dancing with us, taking photos (which are included in the package - so no additional fee for great photos), and ensuring no one went without food or drink. Speaking of food, the onboard meal was delicious! While the vegetables were a bit cold and the steak was well-done, we understood the challenge of cooking on a boat and felt that the overall experience far outweighed these minor details. The chicken and lobster, however, were flavorful and perfectly cooked. Drinking fresh coconut water and dining on the boat made for a memorable and unique experience. What truly stood out was the crew’s professionalism and quick response to an unexpected situation. About an hour into the trip, one of the children in our group needed medical attention for stomach issues unrelated to the excursion. Wilkin immediately arranged for another boat to pick up the child and his parents, transporting them to shore where a car was waiting to take them back to the resort. This was handled swiftly, with no added stress, questions, or fees. Although it rained for most of the trip—pouring at times—the crew didn’t let it dampen our spirits. They quickly gathered everyone’s belongings into trash bags to keep them as dry as possible. Their infectious energy and positive attitude turned the rain into part of the fun. They played lively music, danced with both the kids and adults, and kept everyone smiling and laughing despite the weather. This excursion was undoubtedly the highlight of our entire trip to the Dominican Republic. The crew’s dedication, warmth, and attention to detail made all the difference. Even with the rain, they managed to create an atmosphere full of joy and adventure, leaving us with memories that we will cherish forever. If you’re considering a boat/snorkeling excursion in the DR, this is the one to book! We can only imagine how amazing it would be on a sunny day, but thanks to Wilkin and his team, it felt like the sun was shining through even the heaviest downpour. Thank you for an extraordinary experience!

Boat was clean, staff was entertaining, snorkeling was fabulous, and the food was delicious. I would recommend taking this excursion.

We had an amazing trip with our family of 5. The crew was incredible. They made sure everyone was safe and having fun. Ramon was at the bottom of the water slide to catch my daughters countless times with enthusiasm every time. The work they’re doing to replant coral and having a marine biologist come aboard to educate us was incredible. Food was delicious too!

Had a great private cruise with Wilkin and Warling. Excellent service, great snorkeling, great food, great time! We wanted a relaxing day on the water and that was exactly what we got. Thank you!

Great time. Super fun and food was good. The guys running the boat were fun and knowledgeable. They supplied the snorkels and masks. 🤿🛥️🏝️ the boat was great, plenty of room to move around and see all the sites. I would recommend doing this.

These guys were amazing. The service was incredible, they went out of their way to give everyone the best possible day. I can’t recommend them enough! The food was great too - we ate from the floating kitchen , and it was probably the best meal of our trip 😃

We did a tour with them back in 2021 and really had a great time, so we booked on our recent trip and had another great time with some new family members. It was our 6, plus one other couple so we had plenty of room, we stopped for the coconut drink unfortunately the water was rough so we couldn’t get out and take the picture on the beach, instead the coconut guy boarded the boat and made them for us, very refreshing with some local rum. The snooker spots were good, although the water was not as clear as before, Wilkin was in the water with us and really took his time to help find some cool fish, he found a puffer and Lion fish and I was able to get some great pictures. The lunch was spot on, this time we just got the light lunches (chicken and fish) and it was very tasty from the floating kitchen, one meal is enough for 2 people. The crew (Wiken, Carleto, and Juan Miguel) all did a great job of making sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend them if you’re interested in taking an excursion while in Punta Cana.

Incredibly well run operation from start to finish. The staff was phenomenal. Also, this was the perfect balance between an interesting ecological tour, a party boat experience, and great food and drink. It was just the right size at about 25 people. Great for families.And a very tightly run operation. I wouldn’t change a thing if we were to go back and do it all over again.

First snorkeling trip for kids and Hispaniola Aquatic Adventures provided an amazing trip. Everything made this trip experience perfect for a family trip. I would highly recommend for anyone visiting Dominican Republic and looking for family snorkeling trip which serves food and drinks. They also provided little education on reefs and were great helping kids with snorkeling.
