Overview

Turn your day in Puerto Plata into two hours on the Caribbean waters of Sosúa, where colorful reefs, tropical fish, music and an open bar come together in one shared boat experience.

Start beneath the surface, snorkeling in clear Caribbean water with a professional marine guide as tropical fish move around the reef. Then climb back aboard, grab a tropical drink from the open bar, find your spot in the sun and let the music take over as you cruise along the Sosúa coastline.

Choose the Basic Package with seasonal fruit and nachos, or upgrade to Deluxe and add chicken skewers to enjoy on board. Either way, the boat is where snorkeling turns into the party — drinks flowing, music playing and the Dominican coastline around you.

Round-trip transportation from the cruise port and participating hotels is included, so all you have to decide is whether you're getting back in the water or heading for another drink.

What to expect

  1. Puerto Plata Province
    1h
    Begin your adventure as your cruise arrives in Puerto Plata, or with convenient pickup from your hotel. Settle in for the approximately 45-minute ride to a private dock in Sosúa, watching the Dominican scenery change along the way as you make your way toward the coast.

    Arrive at the dock, step aboard your boat, and get ready for 2 hours of snorkeling, Caribbean views and time on the water in Sosúa.
  2. Sosua
    3h
    Cruise along the Sosúa coastline with the Caribbean stretching out around you before stopping at one of the area’s colorful reefs. Slip into the clear water and snorkel among coral formations and tropical fish, with a professional marine guide leading the experience.

    Back on board, trade your snorkel for a tropical drink from the open bar as the music comes on and the boat continues along the coast. Grab a spot in the sun, enjoy the views, and settle into the easygoing rhythm of an afternoon on the Caribbean.

    Choose the experience that fits your day: the Basic Package includes seasonal fruit and tasty nachos, while the Deluxe Package adds chicken skewers for a more complete bite on board. Be sure to select your preferred package when booking.

    After approximately 2 hours on the water, return to the dock and settle in for the ride back to your cruise port or hotel.
