What To Expect

Board a sturdy small boat and begin the sightseeing right away as you marvel at the sea life below you. Your 3-hour by small boat and reef adventure begins traveling up the coast of Bavaro Beach to a pristine snorkeling site, where professional divers will point out schools of tropical fish and gorgeous coral reefs. 

Sail until you reach a small island in the middle of the ocean, inhabited by gentle and docile marine giants: sharks and rays. Discover the behavior of these wonderful sea creatures all under the supervision of our professional divers.

Next, it’s time to head to the beautiful Bavaro Beach Natural Pool for relaxing and playing in the water. Its marvelous view to the coastline and shallow waters makes the perfect place for a quick photo session. Sip on refreshing drinks and have some snacks while the crew provides entertainment through music and fun activities. Enjoy time in the water or on the sand with your family and friends before boarding the boat and heading back towards the shore. On the way, toast to the trip with a local specialty: Mamajuana. After docking, return safely to your hotel.
