About this experience
Unlike the excursion to Saona, in this tour to Catalina Island, we focus on snorkeling, since the island has a coral reef full of life that surrounds it.
It is the perfect place to enjoy the freshness of the water snorkeling and take a dip on the island’s beach. Let yourself be impressed by the beauty of the reefs and the colors of the fish.
The boat ride from the port of La Romana to Isla Catalina is usually between 20 and 30 minutes. This leaves us plenty of time to enjoy snorkeling and swimming on the island’s beach.
