Great snorkeling experience with Eric Tours!
Easy booking and Lotta reached out to us with information about getting picked up right away.
Picked up by Richard, the company owner, who is very knowledgeable about the DR. After a long but comfortable ride to Sosua, we were fitted for gear and headed down to the beach to boat out to the reef spots. We had a personalized tour for just our family of six, but the larger cruise excursions were also there. Meh, more people equaled more fish food and more fish to see. The company will even take photos and videos of your family to send home to you before you leave, all excellent quality.
Employees Alex, Elvis, and Franklin were top notch.
Day ended at the beach where you can expect tourist prices on food and beer, despite the favorable exchange rate. (Consider the $1 empanadas right outside the tour office!)
Overall great experience! Safe, easy, and WAY cheaper than the cruise excursions. Thanks, Eric and company!

Great crew!!
Our family enjoyed this excursion. The crew is very friendly and focused on ensuring everyone has a good experience. We saw many fish species and lovely coral. If you are prone to sea sickness, bring Dramamine! The water was quite choppy the morning we went out and several folks felt pretty ill. The trip was great but I do not recommend the restaurant they send you to on the beach afterward. Extremely slow service and food is not very good. There are other options on the beach that are likely better.

Beautiful boat, scenery,...
Beautiful boat, scenery, fish, and waters! BBQ food was also delicious. I wasn't prepared for the party scene though with crazy loud music you couldn't talk over and the drunks on the boat.
Definitely don't take your kids but if you like the be in the water away from the boat, it was paradise.

Thank you so much for taking time to leave a review.
Just would like to clarify that you upgraded to the catamaran party cruise, I sent you the link regarding the Catamaran Party cruise. The description of the tour has nothing to do with Discover Sosúa Underwater World.
Hopefully you will get a chance to do the original tour one day.
Kind regards

The BEST thing I’ve done in DR
10/10, 5-star excursion! Wonderful staff, trip organized very well, clean and adequate equipment, pick up and drop off promptly and on time. This was the BEST experience in DR! On and photos of us provided to us for no additional cost! Wow!
The only regret I have is not being able to tip the snorkel guide and the boat captain as they had to go take others upon the return to the shore. Hope they know that they are very appreciated!

Highly recommend!
Richard and Lotta are amazing. These photos were taken on an underwater camera and sent to
us as a part of the package at no extra cost. We snorkeled at two different sights. We were not rushed and the guides were great. Highly recommend.

Wow, an amazing trip!
Wow! What an amazing trip! We were taken out to 2 snorkeling sites (all equipment was provided) and we saw the most amazing fish - literally hundreds of them swimming within reaching distance! We were then left to have free time at the beach, which was beautiful. We always felt safe and we weren't rushed at all. Thank you for an amazing day! 👍

Richard, Lotta and crew was truly astonishing. They were all very attentive and most importantly humble. Was a great experience from pick up to drop off, lots of conversation in between.

Great little day trip
This was a great little snorkeling trip to take the kids on it was short but perfect for the kids. The beach was beautiful and we got to spend the day swimming, just be mindful of the constant barrage of various vendors trying to see you one thing or another. We had to buy drinks and have lunch to use the beach loungers but the food was good drinks were ok.
