we had a great time from the pick up at hotel till the end the staff was very profetional and alot of fun. we would do it again.
This was my best excursion! Everyone was so polite. My mom had a cast on her foot and they treated her like a queen. She was unable to get in the water, but they made participate in the fun. Every part of the trip was relaxing. I was frightened of the whole snorkeling thing, but they made me feel at ease. I would do this over and over again. At first I thought that I should have when on the party boat, but this was on point. Not crowded and the company was awesome! Traveling in the DR I felt that it was always a hustle to get my money. THERE WAS NO SOB STORY TO GET MORE TIPS. Very pleasant! I would give more stars if I could.
(ALL CAPS). I HAVE TO TELL YOU ALL...THIS WAS THE PINNACLE OF OUR STAY. BIG SHOUT OUT TO JULIE AND CREW. IT WAS AWESOME. THE SNORKLING, THE STAFF, THE DRINKS, THE DRINKS AND THE STAFF...DID I SAY STAFF ALREADY? WE TOOK MORE PICTURES ON THIS TOUR THAN WE DID THE WHOLE TIME WE WERE IN D.R. IF ANYONE GOES, I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO ASK FOR JULIE AND CREW. BEST TIME EVER!!!!! THANKS FOR THE BEST TRIP OF A LIFE TIME. 5 STARS..I RATE IN 1000 STARS!!!!
We had a wonderful time on this excursion. The only criticisms I would have is that the snuba part was mostly a photo opportunity and we didn't really get to explore while we were down below. We loved our guide Martin! He was terrific! The reef is a little 'dead' but we were going more for the experience and the experience with snuba, in the speedboat and snorkeling was terrific!
Brought a group and everyone said this excursion was one of their highlights of the trip.
Very touristy, there were two sharks to swim with in an enclosed area, and they just came around and showed you the sting ray. Didnt like that you still had to call when you got there to confirm your hotel pickup - why list your hotel in the reservation when you still have to call - scam to make more money I guess.
Note from Viator: We advise customers to call to reconfirm their tour as exact times may vary depending on how many people the Tour Operator needs to pick up, and where those people are located. We apologize for any inconvenience, however this process allows us to offer the smoothest pickup experience to each of our customers
The Tropical Storm Bavaro Cruise was a great day trip! The staff were very friendly, energetic and fun. The lunch was tastey and the beverages were plentiful. I thought we would have more time to spend relaxing on an island but this is a full day of sailing, besides the time spend snorkeling. Beautiful coastline during the entire day. There were not many fish or exciting pieces of coral to see while snorkeling but it was still fun to swim. Music selection could have been more relaxing on the boat, it was very loud and upbeat the entire day. Would have preferred something like Bob Marley or UB40 in the late afternoon instead of techno. All in all a good excursion for the price.
My wife and I had a lot of fun, the crew was very friendly and clearly enjoyed their work. I would recommend this outing.
The crew and boat were excellent. As long as you aren't looking for underwater beauty on the snorkeling portion of the cruise, this is a great trip. Snorkeling on this side of the island on any trip is mediocre. Crew was extremely friendly and energetic. Food was excellent and there was plenty of alcohol. The crew even served cocktails from an improvised bar while we relaxed in the water on a sandbar. Recommend highly. The lower number of passengers per trip was a real plus also. Plenty of room on the boat to relax and enjoy a sunny day. Did not actually sail as we were under power the entire trip but that was not an issue.
AMAZING!!! If you really want to get a chance to see the island, enjoy the scenery and have a good time- I definetly recommend the catamaran cruise. The staff was awesome- Jules (aka Juliano) and Valerie were our super cool tour guides and they speak English! Jules speaks English, Spanish, French and Italian so communication was very easy. This cruise is more bang for your buck with lunch and booze provided and we only had 9 people on board with us versus the other cruises that had way too many people. Great time, great people and the mamajuana was flowing!
Everyone was very nice and we definitely had a good time. Beware though, it's not called the trooical storm bravaro cruise anymore so that can be confusing when you get there. Also, remember to confirm your pickup at the hotel.
Awesome trip. The crew was fantastic and very friendly. I would do this trip again and again. Would recommend to everyone.
Over all the trip on the Tropical Storm was excellent. My group would have preferred more water time at the end instead of the ship wreck...but diffently a must do, it was great! Food was good, cool drinks and the staff was excellent.
Too long of an excursion. Too many people. We were bored and couldnt wait to get off the boat. The cruise just took you along the coastline of all the other resort beaches. Then took you to a "private beach" where they announced that we were going to stop, but then when we got there, told us we could not go ashore because they had sea urchins. So we could only swim offshore.
We had to leave our hotel very early. So early, the restaraunt was not open for breakfast. So we were not able to eat and they didnt give you anything on the boat until around 2pm!! Not even a cracker! We were not happy.
Had a great time on the speedboat ride. The only thing is that they have it so you can't go past a certain speed, but you will still to a good speed
