Fun times at Sousa beach
So much fun! Way more than your average snorkeling experience. The animators were just that, animated! They know how to throw a party! I was tickled at their antics and ability to help everyone loosen up and enjoy the trip. The food was delicious too. Would recommend!

Great time on the Bravo VIP party boat.
We had a great time on the Bravo VIP Catamaran out of Sosua Beach, we were a group of 12. Snorkeling was good, lots of fish around, some enjoyed going down the slide into the water. The lunch/dinner was good. Plenty of drinks to be had as well. Dancing too. There was lots of shade on the main deck, for those who can't handle too much sun. I would recommend this party boat we had so much fun. The staff were amazing. Thank you Tony and staff you made the fun.

Amazing! A must do!
This experience was phenomenal! This was the best part of my trip to DR. I was in a group of 14 people so there were some hiccups with picking everyone up but once we all were settled onto the bus, it was smooth sailing from there. The boat staff were very nice and funny, the food was great, drinks were flowing non stop, and the boat was bigger than I thought. It held my party of 14 plus others and we all had space. It was definitely one big pool party in the ocean😂would definitely do again!
