Private experience
Private snorkeling trips
Reef stops chosen by your captain based on conditions that day.
The Punta Cana coast is protected by reefs that attract tropical fish. A private boat lets you snorkel away from the crowded group stops.
It is the ideal half-day charter for couples and small groups.
