The 15 Best Snorkelling Trips in Punta Cana

109 reviewed

The reef starts a short boat ride offshore and the water rarely drops below warm. These snorkelling trips are the ones that find the fish and the sandbars: what gear is included, how long you get in the water, whether it doubles as a party cruise, and what each costs per person.

3.Punta Cana Combo Tour: Snorkeling, Catamaran Cruise & Parasailing

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,094 reviews · from $149

Punta Cana combo tour with reef snorkel, catamaran cruise with open bar, and parasailing over the coast. Great value when weather cooperates.

“The Three Adventures excursion includes snorkeling, catamaran fun, and parasailing. My main positive comment is about our guide Victor. He was fantastic! He kept a party vibe going and wanted to make sure everyone was having fun. Snorkeling was amazing and the drinks/dancing on the catamaran were great! Unfortunately the weather did not co-operate for the parasailing portion of the excursion and the heavy winds prevented this activity from happening. Victor was quick to organize alternative activities to offer which other couples agreed to but my husband and I really wanted to experience parasailing. Victor and his colleague Tomas went the extra mile to get us up in the air…”

“Luis and the team provided a great time and fun experience. The boat ride out to the parasailing was a bit rough and the driver let two people off at the wrong stop and they missed the excursion. Please make sure you get off the boat the same place you for on. Don’t let them tell you differently. The rest of the snorkeling was great they did lead a few out to far with the strong current but still a great time”
