This excursion is amazing if you like nature and exploring outside. Its a full day trip that allows you to explore Catalina Island with a delicious lunch included. If you are vegan like me, don't worry- they have lots of fresh fruits and veggies on the island to eat!
Nice island beach on the south side of La Romana - Dominican Republic. You can reach this around 10 minutes from La Romana Port using a tour that will include transportation from port to small ship that pick up you and your family from the La Romana coast and sail you to Catalina Island, approximately 45 minutes on the sea, were you will enjoy on the route a blue water of Caribean Sea and when you arrive, the beach is beautiful, you can rent beach chairs and umbrellas (for $ 30.00 USD) and then the same boat pick you back, after a few hours. Sea water beach looks light green, at this time was a little cold at morning time, then with the sun the temperature coming better and enjoyable
The island is beautiful, but is very rocky and the rocks would hit you when the waves came in. But definitely a must see.
We booked a tourist trip from some Dominican Tourist agency dudes on the beach. To find them, you must just be on the beach. They will find you! This sounds a bit dangerous, but fear not! We decided on meeting at a grocery store at 7:30am. We hopped in and out of a car into a small bus into a medium bus into a boat and finally arrived to the island! My friends and I were joking the entire time about how many modes of transportation we would have to pass to get back to our hotel. The Dominicans treated us very well and food and drinks were included during our island trip. Would certainly do it again
