Spend the day cruising off the south coast of the Dominican Republic on a boat bound for Catalina Island. Listen local music and sip drinks from the open bar, then snorkel on āThe Wallā using the provided snorkel equipment. A beachside lunch means you won't go hungry, and return transport from Punta Cana, Cap Cana and Bayahibe makes for a seamless experience.
After an early pick up directly from the lobby of your hotel (from 6:30 till 8:00 am depending on the hotel location) and a convenient stop in a meeting point to organise the transport, weāll move on a brand-new bus to start our journey towards the city of La Romana.
The guide will welcome you with a smile and our adventure begins. The transfer time from Punta Cana to La Romana is around 1.5 hours and on the way to the Marina the guide will give us interesting information about Catalina Island and the culture and typical life in the Dominican Republic.
Once we arrive at the local Marina in La Romana, we will embark on a catamaran to start our adventure to the paradisiacal destination of Catalina Island. The staff on board will offer us something to drink and entertain us with music and dancing until your arrival at āThe Wallā, a world-famous diving site.
Here youāll be offered the chance to enjoy an unforgettable snorkel experience. Get ready to discover the spectacular marine life of this popular reef point! After the snorkelling activity, the catamaran ride will continue until we arrive at our main destination: Catalina Island.
Catalina is a beautiful uninhabited island which lies 1.5 miles from the southeastern shore of the Dominican Republic. We will stay here for about 3 hours and we will have time to enjoy the beautiful white sand beach and, of course, a delicious lunch buffet-style.
After lunch, the rest of the afternoon is yours to relax; you can enjoy the open bar, or just listen to the waves and soak up the sea breeze. When our time on the island is over, around 3:00pm we will get aboard the boat again for the ride back to the Marina in La Romana, enjoying music and light refreshments at the bar. The cruise time will be around 50 minutes.
Once on the bus, weāll reach the exclusive and world-famous resort of Casa de Campo, a holiday escape for many international stars such as Madonna or Shakira, to make our last stop: a guided tour of the architectural wonder of Altos de Chavon, one of the places not to be missed in the area!
