Discovery Package: Snorkeling Cruise and Dune buggy Adventure At Punta Cana

Luis was the best we had sooo much fun its a must do ! We ran late and they still accommodated us !!

The excursion was great. We had a fun time. Just ignore the locals trying to sell you things. JUST SAY NO.

First off I want folk to know that this booking is 2 separate companies. I was under the impression that we would ATV and then go to the boat with the same folk but instead these are 2 separate excursions just bundled together. So if you have questions regarding either you will be SoL as neither knows about the other. The ATV ride was awesome. It rained during the tour but no one was upset at getting wet nor muddy. We even had one of our buggies break down and they gave us a new one. 1 thing to note is you WILL be hassled at every location to make purchases, so make sure to learn to say NO to these people. We also did the snorkeling which was kind of a miss for us. We expected to be taken out to a nice snorkeling area but was taken to a place where the water was really rough which the cruise director advised to not swim in if you weren't a strong swimmer. I assumed this meant we would go to another location that was safer for people but that didn't occur. We went to another spot that was murky water which you couldn't snorkel in and was basically their just to swim in. The boat trip quickly turned from a Snorkeling cruise to a party boat which would of been fine if me and my wife booked that type of cruise but instead we were let down by the lack of viable snorkeling to be had. Probably wouldn't book that boat tour again.

Charlie was a great guide for the dune buggies. The cave water dive was an added surprise and the beach beautiful. Huge variety of fish when snorkeling and Victor went out of his way to make sure everyone was having fun! He even hot me in with the sharks and stingray tank!

The buggy was freaking awesome.. we were schedule for the snorkeling catamaran for our Anniversary today and it's Raining really bad only enjoyed half of this excursion 😢.

Buggy is top Catamaran and natural pool is just a place to drink with a lot of boat in a small place

Best excursion. Charlie our tour guide was awesome next time I come I'll request him again. I will say you will get really muddy make sure you bring some goggles and maybe a towel.

We had a great time! Both aspects of the tour were amazing! Charlie was the best. Beware the mud from the buggy tour stains clothes so wear something you don't mind getting dirty.

The trip was great transportation was provided and punctual. Disappointments: We bought a wood figurine for $30 from a vender at Buggy site and was supposed to be etched with our names and given to us upon return from adventure that day. We never received our figurine, even after asking and sending email and was told it would be delivered to us at the resort. Again the trip was fun, at times a bit taxing with all the people constantly trying to place a lizard, Parrot, or a Monkey on your shoulder for money not to mention the merchandise sales people and locals selling all types of local fruits. So be prepared

We had a great time on this excursion! I was pleasantly surprised that we used the Honda buggys/ATVs instead of the smaller ones lower to the ground. Turns out, we saw a BUNCH of them broken down with people stalled while they got fixed. None of our Hondas broke down (only one got a little overheated at the end but it started again no problem)! First half - ATVs Charlie "Chocolate" as he called himself was AMAZING. He was super friendly, knowledgeable and gave us a great overview of what to expect and what to be aware of before we left. It wouldn't have been the same without Charlie Chocolate!! One thing I'd change - less time at the first stop, Macao Beach and more time at the water caverns/shops. Macao Beach was beautiful but we didn't need to be there as long as we were - plus there are alot of vendors trying to sell to you the entire time. The coffee and cacao stop was also super cool! I kid you not, some of the best coffee and hot chocolate I've tasted in my life! I would highly encouraging buying some! It was very reasonably priced and some of the proceeds go to the children and schools of the community. Second half - Boat and Snorkeling So after about an hour/hour and a half back at our hotel, we left for the snorkeling/party boat. I will say this.... at least for ours... it is MORE SO a party boat and not super focused on snorkeling. The boat was overbooked and though capacity says 50, I believe there was about 63 people total. Not all of whic paid for snorkeling. So our 45 minutes snorkeling stop ended up being around 15 minutes? And it wasn't near a reef. The rest of the trip was cruising and stopping at the Natural Pool/Bavaro Beach. This was fun! The BEST part of this trip though would defintely have been Alex! He was so attentive and ensured we had everything we needed or wanted throughout the cruise. I'm so glad we had him with us! All in all this was a great excursion though I favored the first half. I would definitely try a different snorkeling trip more focused on this aspect. Please be aware this boat is most definitely a party boat and you likely would not have a good time if you're not wanting that kind of vibe. Like I said, me and my friends had fun but it got a littttleeeee too cray toward the end hahaha. Just fair warning! And I have no idea if it would be this way the next time!
