5.00This excursion was amazing from start to finish. We loved the boat ride and the snorkeling/swimming. It was educational and interesting to hear about the reefs and the importance of rejuvenating them around the island. The coco locos on the beach and dinner from the floating restaurant were wonderful and the crew was awesome, friendly and so accommodating. My family including 13 and 11 year old kids had a trip to remember in the waters off Punta Cana. 10/10
