4.00 / 5
Although we still had a great time getting to see some beautiful parts of Punta Cana, we were a little disappointed that we did not do any snorkeling, even though this was a snorkeling excursion. We came in super excited to snorkel around one of the best reefs in the DR, but sad when we never actually got to. It was still a lot of fun, and we would recommend it to anyone, as long as they are aware they won't actually be snorkeling.
