Great Communication and customer service.
Great communication from Nathalie from the time you book your trip. I had the opposite experience with another tour operator in the area. Sadly the day we were going to depart , there was intermittent rain and the chop on the water was a bit rough. I figured I was going to lose my money, but I decided to cancel our booking as I did not think my family would enjoy the trip under those conditions. I emailed them to let them know and much to my surprise they said they understood and would refund my money. I will defenitly rebook with them next time I’m in Sousa. Thanks again for the great customer service!!!! So sad never got to go

The staff were friendly...
The staff were friendly and accommodating.. the food was delicious . The first reef had a lot to see but at the second stop there was not much to see. Overall it was an excellent experience!!

cool breeze, excellent tunes, great company ...what more can you ask for
In December I had the pleasure of sharing this tour with some friends. It was a rocky day, but a beautiful day. Everyone enjoyed the snorkelling, the tunes, the breeze, the views and the food. My friends enjoy the ocean so it was an easy sell for sure, sunshine, great drinks, and laughter....we had a blast.

Thank you for taking time to leave a review. We are delighted to hear that you and your friends had great time on the catamaran.

Great catamaran ride, horrible transportation to the ship!
Booked this catamaran trip because it was the longest available on Viator at 7 hours (and therefore most expensive). From hotel pickup to dropoff, we were gone less than 5 hours, but the trip is advertised as 7 hours. This was very disappointing. Hotel pickup from Sosua was short drive to beach in Sosua where we boarded the catamaran. Trip itself was great, crew was super friendly. The drive back from Puerto Plata to Sosua was horrendous. The bus was completely full and air conditioning was non functioning, with no opening windows, so it was exteremely HOT for the whole 45+ minute drive. The AC seemed to be working for the front 1 or 2 rows, but not the rest of the bus. My friend and I were ill with signs of heat stroke for the rest of the day. The other excursions that we did during this vacation all provided air conditioned transportation.
Operator response
Hi Heather, thank you for your feedback. I am really sorry about your bad experience with the transportation back to the hotel. We will have the bus company check their buses. I have already change the total duration to 6 to 7 hours instead, because it all depends on if you are staying in Puerto Plata, Cabarete or Sosua and how strong the wind is when you are sailing from Sosua to Ocean World Marina.
