Get the full Robinson Crusoe feel on Catalina Island – the Dominican Republic's very own castaway isle. Zoom across the Caribbean by speedboat and stop en route to snorkel in a coral garden full of exotic fish. Then, we'll hit the island's palm-fringed paradise beach for a few drinks, a buffet lunch and an afternoon spent snoozing in the sun. Bliss.

Finger weg! Diese Tour war in vielerlei Hinsicht eine Zeitverschwendung und absolut nicht empfehlenswert . Das Schnorcheln mit Schwimmweste! dauerte 15 Minuten, bei einem 8 stündigen Ausflug ein totales Missverhältnis. Das Boot war primitiv, überfüllt und die Partymusik war lächerlich ohrenbetäubend, Alkohol wurde reihum ausgeteilt. Für Familien mit Kindern/ Teenagern völlig ungeeignet. Eigentlich war es nur die Überfahrt zur Insel, wo wir stundenlang auf die Rückfahrt warteten.

Stops an Souvenirläden waren nicht nötig. Die Fahrt dauerte viel länger, weil diverse Stops gemacht wurden, um andere Urlauber einzusammeln und an Souvenirläden, das war so nicht kommuniziert und sehr unbefriedigend, da wir Zeit auf der insel verloren haben. Der Schnorchelpunkt war sehr gut gewählt. Auf der Insel war die Zeit schlecht kommuniziert, wann es Mittagessen geben sollte und wann das Boot wieder ablegen würde, die Zeiten wurden nicht eingehalten und so konnte man die Zeit nicht gut nut

Vor der Tour ein Stop bei einem Souvenirladen, sehr große Auswah, freundliche verkäufer und nicht aufdringlich. Guido ist immer überall dabei. Einziger Abzug war das Speedboot, war ein schnellers Familien Ausflug Boot. Sehr empfehlenswert.

We loved this trip – just a short transfer from our hotel to La Romana and a small group of eight made it feel personal. The 45-minute snorkelling stop was amazing with so many fish. The island was beautiful with a lovely quiet area, a free bar and delicious food (with seconds encouraged!). The guide and crew were fantastic, and the beach was picture-perfect with crystal clear water. A really stunning experience.

Le guide "Mota" était excellent et la journée est très vite passée car l'ambiance était présente. Le guide a pu nous expliquer l'histoire de la république dominicaine et nous montrer au cours de la journée plusieurs choses qui étaient très intéressantes. La plage et l'île étaient magnifiques. C'est pour nous la meilleure des excursions faites durant notre séjour.

Pick up from our hotel was at 07.20hrs. After a 30 minute drive we stopped to change coaches.after an hour wait we set off again for 20 minutes, stopping at a tourist shop. Another 50 minute coach ride took us to the boat. Once on the boat after 25 minutes stopped to snorkel in jellyfish infested waters for 40 minutes before travelling to Catalina. Nearly 3 hours at Catalina was good before the boat took us back to the coach. 10 hour day trip. Wouldn’t recommend.

De excursie is heel goed verlopen, maar we waren teleurgesteld over de misleidende informatie op de TUI-website. Bij het reserveren op Tuimusement werd aangegeven dat de activiteit meer dan 8 uur zou duren, terwijl onze activiteit slechts 5 uur duurde. Hoewel vermeld wordt dat de tijden bij benadering zijn, lijkt het ons misleidend om een activiteit van 5 uur aan te kondigen als een van meer dan 8 uur, zeker gezien de prijs van de activiteit. Bovendien stond er in de aankondiging dat er een snor

Erneut: miserable hygienische Verhältnisse in den sanitären Anlagen, "verschissenes Klo ohne Reinigung" - das trübt das Erleben gewaltig. Insgesamt war es nett, das Schnorcheln auch, leider darf man aus Sicherheitsgründen nicht abtauchen, nur mit Schwimmweste von oben zusehen. Das Essen war ok. Lobster wurde angeboten, der von März, also aktuell an nicht gefangen werden darf... ?? Auf dem Schnellboot eng, keine sanitäten Anlagen, nach schnorcheln alles nass, wasserdichten Beutel mitbringen

Die Insel ist schön, mir persönlich hat Saona besser gefallen. Der Schnorchelstopp ist wenig spektakulär, aber in Ordnung, das Mittagessen reichlich und sehr schmackhaft, ebenso die (alkoholischen) Getränke, wer extra für Hummer bezahlen möchte, ist selbst schuld - das Geld nicht wert! Was m. M. nach nicht geht: - Kleinkinder inkl. Kinderwagen auf dem Boot! - „Speedboot“- Ankündigung und dann „nur“ eine etwas grössere Motorjolle, naja - Stopp auf der Rückfahrt im Souvenirshop

I really enjoyed the speedboat tour although I was expecting a smaller boat. I suffer with motion sickness so a smaller boat is better for me although I was ok with sitting in the middle of the speedboat boat. I really enjoyed the snorkelling. So many different fish to see, would of loved another stop somewhere. The island is beautiful! Take hand sanitizer as there was no running water on the island and toilets were flushed by a bucket of water. Lovely food and drink. Great day out

Ausflug war toll, sehr gut organisiert, toller Guide, leider hat der Strand auf Isla Catalina Sandflöhe und Bremsen. Das hat die Entspannung etwas getrübt. Ein Stopp bei der Markthalle hätte man sich sparen können. Reine Verkaufsmasche. Stattdessen lieber mehr Zeit auf der Insel.

Thoroughly enjoyed the snorkelling, speed boat and time on the beach. The bus journey to get to the speed boat was 2 hours 15 mins. We had one small bottle of water that we brought with us not realising it was going to be such a long journey without refreshments. Apart from that, we had a really good time and would definitely recommend the trip.

We were stood in the hot sun for a while on the jetty waiting to board the speedboat,this was while staff were bring on drinks,and then putting life jackets on seats.Thought this should have been prepared for prior to our arrival,waited approx 20 mins. Not enough seats for the number of people so some of our group stood or sat on the floor. Otherwise it was very enjoyable,food was lovely on the island.

Der Ausflug nach Catalina hat uns besser gefallen als Saona. Wir hatten Kinder auf dem Boot und somit kein Speedboot Erlebnis. Leider war die Schnorchelausstattung nicht passend, somit kein richtiges Erlebnis. Dafür war der Strand, das Buffet und der Guid toll. Passt auf mit dem Fotografen, der ist etwas überteuert, auch der kleine Store und die Massagen sind zu teuer. Am besten Badeschuhe mitnehmen, es ist etwas steinig. Sonst war es richtig schön und ein tolles Erlebnis.
