I cannot even begin to describe how much fun we had on this trip! It was the best day of our vacation by far. The 1.5 hour bus ride out to the other side of the island from Puerto Plata was not as bad as we were expecting. We were able to see the local towns/villages and Andy gave us a verbal tour. The boat was super clean and the food/drinks were great! Mimo, our favorite crew member, helped us take pictures and took video of us snorkeling! The food we had at lunch was incredible. Definitely try the paella. If you're on the fence, BOOK IT! So worth the money for the pictures alone :
