FAMILY FRIENDLY CATAMARAN EXCURSION REVIEWS
Parents often worry most: is the boat safe, is the crew patient, will the kids enjoy snorkeling?
These reviews focus on the details that matter when traveling with children or older relatives.
Our daughter loved snorkeling, and we loved the boat ride and the atmosphere. The photographer was very cheerful and took some great photos. I was thrilled to receive mine and see that he had included shots of the dolphins—I was so eager to see them that I had forgotten to take any pictures myself.

Snorkeling ideal for beginners. Perfect for a first-time experience (and even for seniors who prefer more leisurely activities), with a half-hour session just outside the port of Sosúa, followed by an hour in the port after a break.

A fantastic trip with the crew of Tip Top Catamaran in the Dominican Republic! The food was excellent and the boat cruise was very enjoyable! The snorkeling was teeming with fish, and the entire crew was absolutely wonderful and entertaining! My family of four loved every moment!

Tip top catamaran, best excursion ever in the Dominican Republic! Excellent day with two stops to snorkel on the reefs. The guys gave us an opportunity to feed the fish, that was amazing!

We did the sunset cruise for our anniversary and it was absolutely perfect. The crew gave us space, the light was incredible and we did not want it to end.

What an incredible experience! Alan and his crew were fantastic. It was both fun and exciting. Lunch was excellent, as was the bar… and we never felt rushed. The boat wasn't crowded at all, unlike others I've seen.
GARY W.
Eight of my friends and I had an incredible time on this trip. Two snorkeling spots, exceptional bar service, and delicious food. The staff went out of their way to make everything perfect: they were all wonderful to us and made our trip amazing.
