We went to Catalina Island by a charter boat from La Romana. This island is worth the trip for the day. There was lots of food set out for us and the snorkeling was good, but not as good as Roatan, Honduras. We sat on the beach and enjoyed the day. You had to pay for alcohol but he water and soft drinks were included in our price pkg. The staff was a lot of fun with dancing and helping us with snorkelling. At the end of our beach day we were told there was another tour to a cigar and chocolate factory. We didn't participate because we were too tired and weren't told ahead of time that this was included. We would have been fine with just the island trip...all in all it was a great trip.

Beautiful island with great snorkeling and diving opportunities. The lunch buffet on the island is very fresh and good with local BBQ items.

The actual beach area is small and crowded when you go with a group, but lunch was really good, and the snorkeling was great!
