    I had such a wonderful time and met such lovely people, the staff were very professional and friendly. The food was great and hot because they have a floating kitchen, how cool is that!! Finally, Silverado is the man!! Whoever owns this business better keep him on as a staff because he clearly knows what he’s doing.

    We had an amazing time. We booked the private catamaran tour through our hotel. We were 4 people. Cost was $675US for 3.5 hours on boat, 4.5 hours round trip with transportation and a few min at the flea market where you board the boat. The boat can accommodate 35 people if you do the group tour so having only 4 was very luxurious. So much space to dance around, you can play whatever music you want, etc. I saw other reviews where people said they paid less which I'm surprised. At this price it still seemed reasonable given the excellent food, service, and size of the boat. The price of $675 is less than what the hotel said was the list price ($750). There was a captain plus 2 more crew. The food came from a kitchen boat that pull along side us. It's part of the same company and the food was our best meal on the trip. Now the food at our resort isn't great and the seafood is fishy at the resort but here it was excellent. The steak was also good. I can't say enough about the staff. They are energetic, good hosts, and made it a special experience for us. The boat was clean, had a clean washroom, slide from the upper deck into the water, and shade if desired. Would not hesitate to go back.

    If you don’t do this excursion while you are in DR, you are missing out in life. This excursion was absolutely amazing. It could be the group of people that we randomly met. It could be the absolutely delicious seafood/ surf and turf dinner. It could be the unlimited open bar. It could be the fresh coconut chopped on the beach. It could be snorkeling on a reef. It could be that they showed up ON TIME. I mean there are so many “could bes” This trip was 10/10. Fantastic.

    A fun, delicious, and well run excursion. For our week away, we chose to do only one excursion. In the end we pick the right one. We were picked up on time. Personnel both on the shore and on the ground were courteous and enthusiastic. In fact when we were done, we couldn't help but give a big hug to the excursion leader Don Julio. The snorkeling was very good. It has been our experience that most of the reefs wherever we have been have been pretty decimated and this was the case here as well. The fish were very pretty however. The private beach was spectacular and it was more than cool that they chopped up coconuts for us and made Coco loco's with ice, sugar, and rum. It is impossible that the man who machetied each of the 25 coconuts still has 10 fingers. Our meal at the giant pool which is a big cove where you can stand in the water was fun and even romantic. The food was plentiful and delicious. By the way they had nice snacks earlier on like cheese and turkey sandwiches. The whole time there was a great variety of music. Island, country, pop etc. The whole experience was fun and refreshing and highly highly recommended. We bought our tickets directly but you can get them on buyator or Facebook.

    What a great experience! My husband & I did the snorkeling & drinks catamaran morning trip and were so impressed. Not only did we have snorkeling but we also got served lunch & fresh coconuts. The staff were super fun & made sure we had a great time. I highly recommend this company!

    We did a private trip on the Santa Maria with 4 couples. From the resort pick up all the way to the resort drop off it was a complete blast. The crew on the boat led by Blondie were a ton of fun and let us make the day exactly what we wanted it to be. I also really appreciated that they had someone in the water with us at all times and made sure we were safe and having fun. Highly recommend this excursion and booking directly through them as they are super responsive. Can't say enough good things about them, just simply the best thing we did in Punta Cana.

    Everything was amazing ! Specially our tour guide don Julio was the best!! And his team as well, we were like a family . I would give 10 star ⭐️ Pickup was on time , departure of catamaran was on time , at 9:00 AM We went to snorkelling , then went to drink coco juice , then ate very delicious meal in the middle of the ocean. Then we went to swim in natural pool and did some snorkelling. Then we went back to the resort and they dropped us to our hotel. Glad we had this experience! Not crowded ! We were 20 people total. Very good music, fruit , water, drinks, food , photos all included! Differently will recommend to punta cana Visitors.

    Great excursion. We were picked up from our resort on time, took a 15 minute ride and we were on our boat within minutes of arriving. The 3 guys on our boat were fun and professional. Snorkeled for about 45 minutes, stopped at a beach for fresh coconut drinks, had a great fresh seafood lunch on the boat and then stopped at a fresh natural pool beach to swim and continue the drinks. The place you get on and off the boat has some small shops and they gave us 15 minutes to shop if you wanted but didn’t pressure you one bit. Hands down, we would do this again and recommend it to friends. We booked through their website directly and used what’s app to communicate beforehand. We paid $100 per person and we had our private boat for the 10 of Us. We tipped on top of that. Great half day excursion!!

    We had so much fun snorkeling - beautiful boat ride, nice snorkeling, delicious lunch, and really warm, lovely crew. It was my seven-year old’s first time and the crew was so great with her- letting her hold on to a lifesaver and gently guiding her around the reef.

    This was an incredible experience from start to finish. The level of professionalism and attention to detail was unparalleled. I enjoyed doing business with Hispaniola Aquatic Adventures! PROS: -Discounts for Paying 30 days in advance and in cash was honored! -The Boat had an excellent sounds system (Bluetooth as well) -Excellent Staff! (Friendly, Accommodating) -Punctual! (On time with the buses, starting the cruise) -SAFE (All the staff made sure all 45 of us were safe at all times) -Responsive: all my emails and inquiries were addressed very quickly. FEEDBACK: -More time in the water with corals and fish would be great. -More choices for liquor -we had our own so it was all good!

  • 5/5 Jim F. 2 years ago on Google
    Group of 4 (two couples), booked the luxury cruise on Viator. Was skeptical it would be worth $100 per person but boy did it deliver. Big boat with lots of space, an action packed 4.5 hours at sea, a wonderful open bar, tons of delicious seafood (6 langostinas each!!), top notch crew (that never once asked for a tip btw, but we were compelled to), and nothing I would change or improve. You will drink a LOT of alcohol during this most likely so plan your day around that going in! Fish literally ate from our hands while snorkeling too! The was luxurious as f**k.

    Had the most amazing time. The staff is outstanding in making sure everyone is safe and have everything they need to have a great time. It was clear that safety is a priority. We would do this again and again.

  • 5/5 Norberto L. 10 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    Booked Hispaniola while staying at Breathless. Our trip was very exciting and enjoyable. The entire staff and crew were polite, professional and most importantly absolutely comical. The food menu is actually pretty good and the pictures of the dishes do not do the quality any good. We did the 4 hour snorkeling and cocunut drinks on the beach. We surely would book them again. Has-ta la vis-ta

    We chose this tour based on all the great reviews and because it's recommended by Punta Cana Mike. Despite not having the best weather (wind and rain), the tour guides still managed to make it fun with lots of music and dancing! The snorkeling was the highlight of our entire trip and we'd definitely do it again. It was so well organized and everyone made us all feel very comfortable, even those that had never gone snorkeling before. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Allyson M. 8 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    We did the half day snorkel trip and it was the highlight of our trip by far. Our guide Jorge was AMAZING, along with the rest of the crew. We laughed and danced and had so much fun. The lunch on the water was perfect and we couldn't have asked for a better adventure.

  • 5/5 Matthew A. 1 year ago on Google
    An absolutely amazing excursion! Baby and the rest of the crew made it so fun! We did the more private adult snorkeling trip and there was plenty of space on the boat, drinks didn’t stop, food was great, and the snorkeling and stops were so much fun! Highly recommend them for a trip!

  • 5/5 Laura F. 9 months ago on Google
    We booked a private tour on the Grandma! We had an amazing time! The crew met our every need and request and the food was excellent! I highly recommend using this company on your next Dominican adventure!

  • 5/5 Krystal Q. 1 year ago on Google
    We had the best time, friendly and wonderful staff, great food, beautiful fish, amazing water, just a great experience all around. We would do the same thing again if we return to Punta Cana. Loved it!

  • 5/5 Dan V. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a great half-day cruise in March 2023. Beautiful scenery, lots of colorful fish, free pics posted to their site, and food. The stop onshore for drinks from coconuts was unique and fun. The staff lead some dancing and a great time was had by all.

  • 5/5 Malina Z O. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Scott S. 1 year ago on Google
    We had the most amazing time on the snorkeling trip from pick up to drop off everything was easy and super fun. The crew made sure you were taken care of and with gear, food, fun, or drink. 100% recommend their services!!

  • 5/5 P. K. 2 years ago on Google
    We took this excursion on March 3, 2022 and had a great time. Would have been nice to have a little more snorkel time but all and all it was a fun day. The rum drinks were plentiful and the food was delicious. George and crew were wonderful hosts.

  • 5/5 Eric S. 2 years ago on Google
    These guys are amazing! The day before we went on an excursion on the suggestion of one of the hotel employees, and it was nothing compared to Hispaniola Aquatic Adventures. DO NOT TRUST THE REFERRALS! If they do not have a TripAdvisor or Google logo, DO NOT GO! Hispaniola’s crew was awesome! They were clear and upfront on what they were supplying. The food was top notch and the trip was a blast! Great drinks too. Thank you. I plan on coming back again.

  • 5/5 Expedition G. 3 years ago on Google
    EXCELLENT DAY TRIP WITH OUR 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER! At 1st i was hesitant to book an excursion especially with leaving the resort during a pandemic but after reading about what the company does for it's community i was sold. We came down to the Nickelodeon resort to celebrate our little ones 3rd birthday and decided to go out to this excursion to enjoy the ocean. The resort beach isn't ideal for A toddler so this was perfect. Pick up at the resort was on time and the drivers were very polite and made conversation all the way to the drop off point. We got on the boat with one other family and off we went. Words or pictures cannot describe the clarity of the water at the locations they took us. This was our first time ever snorkeling as a family and they made it so perfect and accommodated us without even asking for anything. beautiful day on the water with great food and drinks. Our toddler is such a baby when it comes to eating on her own but this day...she was going in on that food! Don't hesitate to book them. They cater to you and make sure every member of your family feels great from young to old ! Highly recommend you book atleast one day off the resort with them and support a great local business! Cannot wait to be back, they are the reason I will plan another trip to R.D. and not nickelodeon! Thanks to the crew onboard, our daughter still talks about Maria up to this day!

  • 5/5 Iryna M. 4 years ago on Google
    The Tour to Saona Island was exceptionally amazing. It was very well organized, very friendly and it was lots of fun. The Island itself was very scenic. I went there twice with Benjamin and Christopher. I enjoyed both of them. They were able to create very warm, caring, family like environment. Deury, a photographer did a great job by taking amazing pictures.

  • 5/5 Lindsay 2 years ago on Google
    This was the best part of our trip to Punta Cana! Everything went smoothly from the time they picked us up at our resort. We booked the semi-private dinner trip, and all 5 of us had a blast. The staff was a lot of fun, the views were beautiful, and the food was good. 100% recommend booking this company to others, and I know we will on our next trip to the DR.

  • 5/5 Shelley E. 3 years ago on Google
    Look no further for a snorkeling / catamaran tour! This entire excursion from start to finish was by far the best experience! The food itself is delish and authentic. The snorkeling is amazing with so many fish- they give you food to attract all the fish right to you- we saw starfish, turtles and stingrays as well! Just an overall amazing experience, not rushed and an amazing Beautiful time! The private beach is breathtaking and a local cuts open coconuts for fresh authentic drinks!! Highly recommend

  • 5/5 Andrea B. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely great tour! We did the semi-private adults only tour (half day). Piña, Juana, Michael and Jorge are such a fun group! They really want to make sure you’re having a good time. The lunch (we had surf&turf) was delicious! We’ve been on other catamaran tours and usually just get a sandwich so 10/10 food and drinks with this company. Look no further and book your excursion with them! Thanks for an amazing time!!!!

    Customer service was top notch!

  • 5/5 Fabrice V. 1 year ago on Google
    I booked directly using Viator as the hotel was having a hard time charging our credit card. We were about 14 people on the boat which was nice as it wasn’t packed! We were picked up from our hotel and the drive wasn’t crazy long. The staff on the boat was very fun and nice and made sure to bring fish food with them when out snorkeling. We then headed a shore where Jose cut open fresh coconuts added rum and sugar for everyone to enjoy a cocktail. Then we headed to our third and final destination where we swam/snorkeled as we waited for lunch. The lunch was what I expected for a lunch on a boat (meat, seafood and chips). All in all it was a very nice day on the water and it costs about $300 CAD for two people!

  • 5/5 Alan S. 2 years ago on Google
    There were about 12 of us on the boat plus a crew of three and the captain. During the trip there was no shortage of food, fun or beverage! Would highly recommend, if this wasn't the end of our trip we would have returned the next day to do it all over again!

  • 5/5 Devin F. 2 years ago on Google
    Perfect option for a group. We rented a private boat for 8 of us and enjoyed every single minute. We were picked up promptly from our hotel and given a great crew who attended to our every need and want. I cannot recommend this experience and this company enough if you choose to leave your resort for fun.

  • 5/5 Christy P. 2 years ago on Google
    We had the best time on the catamaran! Roman and his crew were spectacular. We got appetizers from a floating food kitchen, and they were so delicious! The snorkeling and stop at the beach for Coco Loco's made this a memorable experience for our group of Senior boys. 4 hours was enough time but more time on the beach stop would have been great too. Pickup and drop off at our resort were very smooth and safe. Thank you, Hispaniola Aquatic Adventures! We had so much fun in Punta Cana!!

  • 5/5 Kerry J. 1 year ago on Google
    This company is amazing! This was so well organized and fun! The snorkeling was awesome with so many tropical fish. The service was unbeatable and the lunch was the best fish I have ever have. We did the catamaran for 8 on the Maite. I can say enough about how wonderful it was.

  • 4/5 Tom D. 1 year ago on Google
    The boat team (led by Silverado) was amazing. They made it fun. Would definitely want to hang out with them again. But the bus back after skipped our resort, saying we weren't on the list. Our name was called out and confirmed before leaving the Hispaniola business area, so I'm not sure why we weren't on the list. We traveled between 30-40 minutes past our resort. At another stop we mentioned we questioned why we were going further away and asked if we could hit the restroom before continuing. The driver said yes, but left is at a different resort after we got off. So we had to call a taxi back to our actual place. Even though they drove by it first and didn't drop us off.

  • 5/5 Sydney 2 years ago on Google
    We had an amazing time on the 4 hour snorkeling tour! Silverado and crew were so much fun and great guides. Easy transportation from our resort, very good food, and we saw so many fish snorkeling, as well as sea turtles from the boat! The company also is working on restoring coral reefs and the staff seemed very passionate about the cause. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Gabriela V. 3 years ago on Google
    I'm so glad I got to do this. We had an amazing experience going to the beach, snorkeling, dancing and having fun in the boat as well! Food was great and the service was too! I recommend this!! 😊

  • 5/5 Aubrey M. 1 year ago on Google
    Hispaniola Adventures was amazing for a half day private catamaran trip. We did the private tour and it was the best day of our whole trip. Baby and his crew took the best care of us. The lunch they served was delicious and the snorkeling was beautiful. The stop to have fresh coconuts was a unique experience and wow it was so tasty! Baby let us play our own music on the boat which I thought really added to the experience.

  • 5/5 Mary Michelle John Rennice Dela C. 8 months ago on Google • 1 review
    We had ao much fun with our snorkel trip with our guide BABY and his crew. We are the only family in the boat and they took care of us. We enjoyed their company. I had a 2 year old and even if he didnt have the chance to snorkel. They find a way for him to enjoy it. They help him feed some fishes and he enjoyed it a lotWe also love the food that they prepared its so good and fresh. Highly recommend this crew. Thank you so much

  • 5/5 Gidd O. 3 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    We did the semiprivate tour where they take you snorkeling, to coconut beach and lunch at the natural pools. The staff was friendly from the moment we arrived. Alvin was wonderful and very Attentive. He made sure everyone had a great time. My sister got seasick during the excursion and they went above and beyond to make sure she was good. Would highly recommend- it was one of the highlights of my visit.
