★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 422 reviews · from $61Our pick

Punta Cana’s Scuba Doo tour pairs an underwater scooter, snorkeling, glass-bottom boat ride, hotel pickup, snacks, and reef views.

“If I could give 0 I would. They initially told us they would pick us up at 1:25 pm. 1:25 rolls around nothing. Get another text saying they will be here shortly. Granted the excursion started at 12pm. 3:00 clock rolls around nothing still. They didn’t even try to reach out after 3 hours went by. I tried to cancel and get my refund but they said the company has to not reply with 72 hours and they would issue it automatically. Terrible business experience.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 37 reviews · from $130

Review of Punta Cana’s Catalina Island scuba tour, with two reef stops, beach lunch, transport tips, costs, and practical advice.

“This was a very relaxing day. Only 6 divers on the boat and the rest were snorkelers. The dive sites were not spectacular but we did see colorful fish, seahorse, crab. After 2nd dive we were greeted with a warm cup of noodle soup. Catalina Island was set up with tables and bars, and of course coconuts to drink from. The lobster on the VIP package was very good but a bit hard to enjoy as the flies were in full force. Chantel is a great hostess!!! and keeps everyone happy. The trip back is entertaining as they put on a little dance party and the beer is flowing. You…”

“Der Transfer vom Hotel zum Ausgangspunkt war zu lang. Ca 1:15 Stunden. Zu erst sind wir mit einem kleinen Boot zum Boot mit dem Glasboden gefahren. Dann zum Ausgangspunkt wo das Schnorcheln und das ScubaDoo Abenteuer anfängt. Im Glasboden Boot hat man so gut wie nichts gesehen. Nicht ein Fisch oder einen interessanten Untergrund. Dauer ca. 10 Minuten. Dann wurde uns alles erklärt. Von einem Tauchabenteuer, das dich an Bord eines unserer Scuba-Motorräder zu einigen der schönsten und unberührtesten Gegenden in der Karibik führt und bei dem du das Scuba-Doo-Tauchen wie ein echter Taucher genießen kannst, habe ich nichts mitbekommen. Fast nichts gesehen, zu dunkel. Dauert ca. 15 Minuten. Fische…”
