Great experience!
We had a great experience with EcoReef in Punta Cana! Our group included 11 people—6 adults and 5 kids—and everyone had a fantastic time. The snorkeling was enjoyable with plenty to see, the slide was a big hit with both the kids and adults, and we loved having time to swim in the beautiful water.
The staff was friendly and made the experience easy and fun for our large group. It was a great mix of adventure and relaxation, and everyone left happy. I would definitely recommend EcoReef to families or groups looking for a fun excursion in Punta Cana! Eddie and crew are super friendly and accommodating!

Great Choice if you’re in the area!
Eddie did a great job of leading the way. Fernando made all the ladies feel special with personalized photos. John and Victor keep the boat where it needed to be and the fish coming to us. Super chill excursion. Got us a nice Sublime/Marley playlist. Mixed it up on snorkeling, seeing the area, and having a few drinks while throwing the football on the sandbar. Highly recommended. Fun, safe, and professional!

Amazing trip
This is the 2nd time we have done this excursion, and again, it was a highlight of our vacation to Punta Cana, DR. Eddie and his team are amazing – the boat is in great shape, very clean, with a bathroom!!! Nonstop fun from the slide, snorkeling, to the sand bar…the music and drinks are fun too!!! Absolutely get the photographer – the pictures are priceless! Book with confidence that this will be a day you'll remember!

EcoReef is the BEST!!!
Our excursion on the EcoReef was a highlight of our vacation to Punta Cana for all ten of us. We are a multi-generational family, grandparents, parents and four kids, ages 9-14. From the music to the snorkeling to the open bar and did I mention the slide!! It was an awesome day for all! We loved the attention from Eddie and his crew and his photographer captured our day perfectly!! It was our second excursion with EcoReef and if we return to Punta Cana again, we'd surely book another excursion with Eddie!! Thanks for such a great day!!

Birthday fun
We celebrated our daughter’s 15 birthday on the boat. We had fun feeding fish SH while snorkeling and using the water slide. They made it special by providing a cake and birthday music. Thanks for helping us create food memories.

A day to remember!
Amazing experience, would highly recommend. Eddie and crew were spot on, very well organised and thought through.
Eddie clearly explained what we had planned for the day and always prioritised our safety. Each part of the trip was well planned as we saw dolphins, snorkelled and spent time on the beach of an island. We were particularly impressed that the tour actually tailors to what you want, we ended up snorkeling longer and spent less time on the beach.
The snorkeling location was great, a good variety of fish and the crew fed them bananas to attract the fish which made for better sights.
And overall the day flowed really nicely, everything ran on time and delivered exactly as promised. I would highly recommend this as you have the luxury of your own boat and a trip that's truly tailored to you.
A massive thank you to Eddie and the team!

Fantastic half day tour w/beautiful views and lots of activities.
This was a wonderful short half day excursion if you are looking to not be away from your resort all day. Tour was at 10am, pick up at hotel (Breathless) 845am. Boat was clean, crew was fantastic. Eddy was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable. Fernando, John, and Victor were all wonderful too. Pictures were great to take back for memories.
We arrived, got our safety briefing, sailed past the dolphins, did about 45 min snorkeling near a coral reef, played on the water slide for 20 min, sailed to a sand bar and hung out in the water for 45 min to an hour. Highly recommend doing the private tour.

Best Day - So Fun
This was the best day of our week weather wise and the fun we had. Eddie and staff were great. No English barrier. Catamaran was easily accessible with a brief boat ride out to the catamaran. Your feet will get wet getting into smaller boat. We enjoyed the snorkeling. Many colorful fish. Hanging out at the sandbar was relaxing. We enjoyed the slide, drinks, music and experience. Had a great time!!

Private boat with snorkeling in Punta Cana
Had a great trip snorkeling, going down the slide and playing in the water. Eddie and his entire crew were top notch and made sure our experience was perfect. They also provided beers, soda, water and chips and snacks, fresh fruit. The entire experience from the driver picking us up at our hotel to the excursion and transport back to the hotel was perfect! Would definitely book with this company again!!
