Best Excursion We Did—Hands Down
Sara H,Mar 17, 2026

5.00Our group of four couples had the most amazing day with your team—it truly exceeded every expectation. The spot you took us to on Saona Beach was absolutely breathtaking. The water was crystal clear, and having that quiet, secluded area felt so special and almost surreal. It honestly felt like something out of a dream. From the snorkeling to the delicious lunch on the boat, every detail was perfect. Your crew made the entire day feel relaxed, fun, and seamless, and we all walked away saying it was one of the highlights of our entire trip. Thank you again for such a magical day—we will absolutely be recommending you to others!
A very nice day

Private full day charter

5.00This was the best day of our vacation. We rented the whole boat for the day with 22 people adults and kids all older than 11. The boat was incredible and huge. The locations we stopped at weee beautiful and we felt like we had the whole beach to ourselves. One beach was white sand with clear waters and plenty of waves for the kids to body surf. The natural pool was breathtaking and not another boat was there. Lunch and drinks were great and the staff was so knowledgeable and ready to help. We snorkeled for 20 minutes or so at the old dock but that could have been skipped as not a ton to see there. Overall the best day.
Unbelievable experience!!!!

5.00We booked a boat excursion with Quetzal for my bachelorette, and it was truly unbelievable! From start to finish, Joy and the crew went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. They were incredibly attentive, friendly, and fun, making the entire experience feel effortless and luxurious. The boat itself was beautiful, and every detail, from the service to the atmosphere, was perfect. If you’re looking for an unforgettable day on the water, this is the company to book with. Highly recommend! Also, Saona Island is a MUST!!!
Wonderful experience, the photos I share speak for themselves.

Amazing Experience - Saona Island trip

5.00A perfect day. The 9 of us had such a good time, sun bathing on the way to Saona island, playing in the crystal clear water and relaxing on the white sandy beach, we had lunch waiting for us when we returned to the catamaran. A short sail to go snorkeling and starfish spotting then a relaxing sail back to Bayahibe. Lola and the other crew were brilliant and helpful and I can't praise them highly enough. Between the food, drinks, cake and rum there's nothing else we could have wanted. We didn't do the snorkeling earlier in the day as there had been some storms so the sea was a little rough and the currents were strong. It was reassuring to know that the crew know the area so well, wanted us to have the best trip and were always thinking about our saftey. Everything before the trip was great too, from me making the enquiry to the communication on the days before was helpful and informative. We had a fantastic time in the DR but this trip made the whole holiday. If you're thinking of booking a trip with them, just do it, you won't regret it. If we go back we will be booking with them again.
Truly a day in paradise!!

5.00Best day of our entire trip to the Dominician! Scheduling, transportation, staff, crew, guide, boat, destinations, food, drinks, ALL OF IT WAS beyond exceptional and WORLD CLASS! Def plan on returning to the DR just to spend more time on this Vessel. We did fully Private with 8 guest and words can't begin to describe how beautiful and amazing our day was! Thanks again!

5.00Very nice outing aboard the Quetzal in a small group on March 20, 2024 towards Catalina Island. Well informed by Manon for the circuit and very good support by the entire Quetzal team with the added bonus of a welcome from Mr. Bernard, the owner of this sumptuous ⛵ before departure. To the rhythm of the wind and the sea, a snorkeling discovery trip with Lola the guide around Catalina Island was excellent and unforgettable. The meal at the top plancha all the products are fresh and the tranquility on board to eat and relax background of an unforgettable outing we take the time to experience and constantly admire the landscape and this gigantic and sumptuous catamaran 😎 thank you Mr. Bernard for these moments of happiness !!! We will come back for sure. Kind regards Mr and Mrs Provost
