My hubby is really into wildlife interactions so we initially booked a trip to the Marinarium (snorkeling) [Cdn$89] and then the Animal Adventure Park [Cdn$80]. Marinarium we swam around the coral reefs, swam in a closed off area with Stingrays and Nurse Sharks, and then later took pictures with a Stingray. Then we went to a natural swimming pool where... more

If you book online you get $10 off - that helps. The tour was great. I do see a lot of people mentioning that there was no instruction on using the snorkeling equipment. That didn't matter to me as I had snorkeled many times in the past, and others didn't seem bothered. I guess if they had questions they would... more

Having snorkeled on trips in Hawaii, one with the Pacific Whale folks in Maui, I was very disturbed about the Merinarium practices. There was not only no instruction about the use of equipment for those who had never snorkeled before, no pointing out fish/animals etc but , the really worrisome aspect of the trip was the fact that the one... more

I think the biggest disapointment was that there was no instruction at all as to how to work the snorkling equipment. Thank God some other tourists on the boat was able to help me a... more

Marinarium - would have been a lovely excursion for about $45. We paid $89 USD each. To me, this was way too much for what we got. That's not to say that it wasn't enjoyable, just seemed like too much money. Transportation to and from - seemed disorganized and the bus there had no air conditioning. It was 1:30 in... more

This was definitely the highlight of my trip to the Dominican Republic. I think the total time for this activity was about 4 hours not including the commute time to the marina from our resort. The staff on this ship are super nice and a lot of fun. While snorkeling we were able to see sharks as well as a... more

Just back from Bavaro and did the Reef Explorer trip. A half day trip involving being taken out to a floating platform and then numerous activities once there, the favourite being swimming with sharks and stingrays. This for me was the down part as i found the enclosure too small for the no. of sharks in there. You alson have... more
