Punta Cana combo tour review covering snorkeling, catamaran drinks, parasailing, transport, timing, safety, value, and what to expect.

“The reservation started off rocky with poor communication regarding travel arrangements. But once we called an uber and arrived on the beach we were put in contact with the excursion organizer and he got us an amazing host (Ask for KITSON ♥). Kitson got us on the speed boat to go parasailing. After the parasailing adventure he helped us to the boat where we received complimentary drinks and were thoroughly entertained by the crew. The marine life wasn't great in the snorkeling area but it was a fun time in the water once we dropped anchor at a shallow pool party area in the ocean and enjoyed swim up bars.…”

Ride muddy buggies, swim in a cenote, visit Macao Beach, and cruise to snorkel and relax in Punta Cana.

“The dune buggies to the cave were fun. Jumping into the freshwater cenote was amazing. Macao beach was beautiful. The second part of our day not as much. We were picked up and taken to the beach where we had to wait at least 45 minutes for another group to arrive. Then we all got on the boat. We then went to let these late comers go swim with sharks while everyone else had to wait on the boat. After another 30 minute wait or so we finally get to our snorkeling spot. This was great. Ended up on a sunset cruise because of all the delays we were about…”

Food for lunch was delicious- possibly the best octopus we've tried and the rum punches are refreshing and dangerously easy to drink.”

Review of Punta Cana’s family-friendly catamaran tour with reef snorkeling, open bar, natural pool, private beach, transfers, and snacks.

“The catamaran tour with snorkeling was fantastic! The team were friendly and very accommodating. They introduced the various members of the team and gave a clear explanation of what each guy did (Captain, bar guy, etc). The lunch was perfect (sandwiches, tortilla chips/salsa, fresh fruit, cake), drinks of all kinds were plentiful (at one point the drinks guy brought trays of drinks into the water for us to enjoy!). The snorkeling was handled very well. The boat had a slide (fun!) so half of the group went in the slide first while the others snorkeled then we swapped. We saw tons of fish on a reef. After that we went…”
