Catamaran Snorkeling All-Inclusive Day-Trip

Great time and food was great also. Would have preferred clearer snorkeling in shallower water though.

This was one of the best excursions ever! The staff was amazing and the people aboard were lots of fun. This was my first time snorkeling and the staff took time to teach me and make sure I was ok. The views were beautiful and the drinks and lunch were awesome!!! Great job! Fun, fun, fun!!!!

Super friendly and welcoming staff!! My group had a great time and we enjoyed every minute. Gave us plenty of time to snorkle and do whatever we wanted

This cruise was amazing!! The crew was an absolute blast! Very helpful, very entertaining, and super organized. Food and drinks were awesome too! We would do this again, and again! It exceeded our expections, and so glad we chose Tip Top, because it is "Tip Top" in my book!
Loved it!! Don't miss out! If you're looking for an excursion, this it it!! Met lots of nice folks aboard too, and I didn't see anyone that was not having the time of their life!
Thanks again, and next time we're down in DR, we'll be back on board!! :)

Fun & interesting. Great food, snorkeling, entertaining. Friendly, engaging crew! Clean and safe Loved every moment!

I cannot say enough good things about Alain and his crew! Everything was beyond amazing until my husband got sick. Immediately Alain brought a boat to pick us up and get us to shore! The crew that took us back had so much kindness and empathy! The excursion would have been our favorite, but because of the way we were treated, Tip Top has become our favorite❤️❤️ Huge thanks to everyone who helped us!

Supposed to be a 6 hour excursion with a 30 minute drive to and from ship terminal. It took over 1.5 hours to get to the beach and then multiple speedboat trips to the catamaran to get us all on board. Was told it was a 60 person vessel and there were over 70 of us plus staff. Very little snorkeling occurred…a total of maybe 30-45 minutes. They did take us back via the catamaran which was beautiful, but running over an hour late. When I asked when we would get back, at the behest of another traveler, Alain tried to tell me that the ships time was an hour ahead of there’s, thus we had an hour more than I thought. Not true. We had turned our phones back, so we actually got back with about 40 minutes before we were due to leave. I have been on catamaran excursions before and loved it. This, I did not enjoy….nor did quite a few of the others who were on this excursion. There were some who did enjoy it…there was a bar. Not sure what happened since they have such good reviews?? Also, they had to blow up the dingy on board and it has patches in multiple places.

Awesome time was had by all 4 of us! The snorkle stops were really cool and we saw a ton of fish. The staff were extremely friendly and fun!!! Would highly recommend this as an excursion. Bus ride there from our resort (Senator) was about an hour. Bit of a wait for the small boat to transport everyone from the beach out to the catamaran but nothing crazy and was a bit to be expected. Was nice that we sailed to a marina and got off the boat at Ocean world. Fun times had by all!!! Highly recommend.

Great day!! The crew is wonderful! Beautiful day of sun, swimming, snorkelling.. Alex is an absolute time!

Our TipTop catamaran tour was on 12-31-22. It rained a little during the first 30 minutes so I was glad I had my jacket, but it quickly cleared and the rest of the day was sunny and warm. The catamaran was full, but not too crowded. People were good about moving about and switching spots - from the shaded tables to the front nets, to the side hulls. Our crew: Alain, Alex, and Sonia (I think), were all very nice and accommodating. I really enjoyed our first snorkeling stop at Three Rocks and feeding the beautiful fish. Our second stop near Sasua Beach was not as good but the water was surprisingly warm at both sites. Other than seeing our resort and Sasua Beach from the water, there wasn’t a lot to look at. So, we were just cruising along, enjoying the food, drinks, and music. The buffet lunch was great with chicken nuggets, cold cuts, coleslaw, large shell macaroni salad, cucumber salad, and bread. The bar was always open and the drinks were good (cocktails, beer, soda). It was fun! The only thing that I hadn’t realized, was that our tour was not going to end at Sasua Beach where we started. Instead, we landed at Ocean World Marina and had a 50 minute taxi ride back to Sasua. It was fine, but not expected. We DID have a good day on the water and I would recommend TipTop for a fun catamaran outing!

It was a great activity and the crew was really nice! We enjoyed the two snorkeling spots for around 10 minutes each. The food was also very good.

Alain, Alex, and Papa Made this outing exceptional! They were extremely personable. They were extremely knowledgeable of their vessel and the location. They interacted and were able to make sure that everyone on the vessel had the best day ever.

We took our adult children for a brunch cruise and snorkeling, no drinks were available until snorkeling was over, it ended up being a one way cruise to Puerto Plata and a 2 hour bus ride back to the hotel. Great time, but not as advertised.

This is our second time saling with tip top. It gets better each time. Andrew, Alex, Sonia just to name a few are all fantastic and what makes this trip most memorable. If we are in this area again, we will most definitely be using Tip Top again. Thanks guys for a great time as usual. And thanks Alex ,Andrew for getting my wetsuit back to me.

Wow! What an awesome time myself and 22 other lifelong friends were able to have on a private charter. Alain, Alex & crew were able to show us such an outstanding time! Everything from pick up to drop off was seamless. The two snorkel spots we stopped at were great experiences where we were able to feed the fish and swim around a reef. Lunch was great and the crew kept the drinks flowing especially once we set sail! Very highly recommend!!

We booked the catamaran for our wedding “reception”. We had a little hiccup in the beginning with booking that was just a little miscommunication that was just as much my fault! After booking communication was fantastic! I was given contact information for a coordinator and the manager and was able to reach out to do any final organizing. Right from meeting Papo in the lobby to the final see you laters the team was AMAZING! We felt so welcomed and taken care of. I’m usually a very nervous snorkeler but I’ve never felt more comfortable. They had two team members in the water with us when we went in Alex took us on a great swim tour of the reef and there was someone else that stayed back around the boat if anyone needed help getting back and forth to the boat. The lunch was so yummy so many in our group said it was the best lunch they have had on the trip. Everyone in our group had a blast. Even when people got a little sea sick the team was right there to help them feel better. Everyone was so kind and funny. The two snorkeling spots, we saw a ton of sea life. Relaxing on the nets once we started to sail was the most relaxing. We even saw a pod of dolphins! If you are planning on booking an excursion while in PoP you NEED to book a trip with these guys! Highlight of our trip & wedding experience here in Dominican. You will not be disappointed and you will make some great memories. I can’t wait to come back to go for another sail with the Tip top team!

Had 40 people with us including adults, kids and teens. The boat was in very good shape and we’ll maintained. Alain and the crew were amazing. Especially with the kids snorkeling. Food was good too!
