This is an amazing tour! Papo, Benjamin and crew were not only helpful but they were fun while being very helpful! You had the choice of going down a ladder to jumping in for snorkeling. The food was yummy and a welcome sight after 2 sites for snorkeling. The rum punch was top notch!!!

THERESA VACANTI

I had an amazing time on the Catamaran excursion in the Dominican Republic! The experience itself was so much fun, but what really made it unforgettable was our tour guide, Benjamin. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone felt safe while still having an exciting adventure. Highly recommend this tour.

CHLOE JACKSON

Fantastic excursion with the Tip Top Catamaran crew in the Dominican Republic! Food exceeded expectations and the sailing cruise at sea was so enjoyable! Snorkeling had LOTS of fish and the entire crew was absolutely amazing and entertaining!!! My family of 4 enjoyed every moment!!!
