The staff was fantastic and fun. The entire experience was lovely. The locations we went to we perfect and although the water was a little choppy, the boat ride was seamless. We would totally recommend this for a daytime excursion

Great overall experience
Mihir_M, Mar 2024
Very enjoyable experience overall. The staff was excellent, they had a fantastic attitude that made the trip enjoyable for everyone and complemented that with excellent service. The spots they picked for snorkeling were fun, equipment was clean and in good condition, the food was great and the alcohol kept flowing. Would definitely do it again.
Great crew, fun trip!
Julie_D, Mar 2024
Great trip, crew was awesome. Made the experience extra fun. Glad we booked with them! Recommend for sure.
Fair, decent excursion
DavidN_M, Mar 2024
It was a good time for sure. Loved the snorkeling. The sexual innuendos from the tour guide could have been left out. The food wasn’t that good - beef was overcooked, shrimp weren’t deveined, lobster was almost as small as shrimp.

Highlight of Vacation
Valencia_R, Mar 2024
Hands down the highlight of our trip!! The experience was a whole vibe. Enjoyed the crew, the music, the food (great variety), snorkeling and the private beach with real coconut! Family and kid friendly! This excursion will not disappoint!
Great time!!
David_L, Mar 2024
Everything was great and as seen in the reviews we read and the excursion description. Very polite, thoughtful and safe crew. The food was good - really enjoyed the fruit skewers and turkey sandwiches!! The floating lunch was on the boat but was delicious and good hygiene was observed by the staff. We really enjoyed our time and would highly recommend! Worth every penny!!!

Fantastic experience! Don Julio was a fantastic host and the whole crew was awesome. Definitely recommend the small group tour for anyone looking to relax and enjoy the day’. Lunch was excellent.
Amazing Excursion!
Lori_U, Mar 2024
This was the best excursion for us during our week in Punta Cana! Transportation details were spot-on, the boat was clean & spacious, the food was delicious, drinks flowed smoothly, snorkeling was incredible, and the crew was professional & fun! This trip was very well-organized and I absolutely recommend this experience with Hispaniola Aquatic Adventures! Don Hulio is the best 🤩
Not much snorkeling but lots of booze
Theresa_H, Mar 2024
More of a party boat than snorkeling experience. One stop was specifically for drinking out of a coconut. The food was awful. Tour guide was good. At the end you have to walk through souvenir shops where you are given 20 mins and they are pushy. Pictures are not provided which I was really looking forward to. You have to check Facebook after 7-10 days. Not worth the price imo.

What’s not to love!
Julia_M, Mar 2024
Don Julio and the rest of the crew were so friendly, making the whole experience special and fun. We saw beautiful fish on the reef, enjoyed fresh coconut water (with added rum) on a white sand beach, had a fabulous freshly cooked lunch and limitless liquid refreshments. What’s not to love!
Amazing
Dean_B, Mar 2024
Amazing trip 100% Recommend captain Don was the best and lunch was a real treat. Please don’t miss out on this trip once in a lifetime.
Perfect day!
Alyssa_S, Mar 2024
The trip started out with a well organized pickup from the resort. We rode in an air conditioned van and depending on the resort was about a 20-30min ride to the launch point. We were greeted by staff who checked us in and gave us a timeframe to depart on the boat. We then were able to browse a good sized open air market full of all sorts of souvenirs, drinks/snacks and even art. We then departed on a shuttle boat to the main boat about a 3 min ride. We were greeted by the main crew who were friendly, helpful, and very funny. Juan Carlos was amazing! The snorkeling was a lot of fun. Great for beginners to the experienced. We even fed the fish and had many under water photos taken. Where the crew completely blew my mind was when on a cannon ball from the top deck (highly recommend) I came up and my Apple Watch was missing. No sooner did I call out and point at my wrist did 4 of the crew jump over the side and began looking. Not 2 min later Juan Carlos dove down about 30 feet and found it. Absolutely blown away! The rest of the trip went as described in the description. By far one of the best excursions we have been on. Highlights were the staff, bar, and the pace of the adventure. Never rushed, but never seemed to be waiting around for the next thing. 5/5 for sure! One question we did clarify that is not listed in the description is there is a bathroom available the entire time on the main boat!
Great experience
Duke_W, Mar 2024
Great experience! Wilkin and the crew were great folks and attentive to any needs. The lunch was excellent. The snorkeling and the boat ride as well. I dont usually do reviews but this was well worth it. Looking forward to booking the next time we visit the DR.
Highly Recommend

Absolutely a fantastic time. Very professional, great staff and great food. Nice snorkeling at two locations, beautiful spot to sip from a natural coconut, delicious food supplied and than relax in waist deep water with floating bar.
Excellent excursion
Anthony_S, Mar 2024
Incredible experience all the way around, beautiful snorkeling with tons of fish, great vibes, great food and free flowing drinks. Love that capacity is capped to prevent group from being too large - highly, highly recommend
Excellent Snorkel Trip
Kathryn_B, Mar 2024
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. We do snorkel outings often. The Hispaniola snorkel is one of favorite ever because the crew, the food, the abundance and diversity of fish. Very impressive work in establishing new coral reefs too!! Excellent experience for everyone! Would do this excursion again in a heartbeat.
Fresh seafood and good company
Iresha_R, Mar 2024
Don Julio was the very best. The food was amazing and you could taste the freshness of the seafood. Music and Dancing and you can’t forget the rum filled coconut on the beach. I had such an amazing time I lost track of time and had to run back to the boat . . Lol
