点评:We are a group of one couple and a single lady. We did the tour to Catalina Island on Wednesday Feb 1, 2023. We were picked up in a timely fashion by our transport and taken to the pickup location for the tour where we joined others from different resorts. The organizing of people coming in from the different locations was a little confusing, but eventually it all turned out okay and we were on our way. The drive from Punta Cana takes about 1.5 hours and allows you to see the countryside. We passed farmlands with Cattle and other livestock and through some little towns. Once we arrived in La Romana, we were then transferred to a beautiful catamaran styled boat where we started our 45 minute to one hour boat ride to Catalina Island. Our first stop was along the reef, where we then got a full 45 minutes to snorkel and explore the reefs. My friend David found a piece of sea kelp and had a bountiful of fish eating right from his fingers. If you have never snorkeled it is quite eye opening to see what lives just beneath the surface of the water.
After snorkeling we continued by boat for another 15 or 20 minutes where we arrived at an absolutely gorgeous beach of white sand and turquoise blue water. There they have a little gift shop for buying souvenirs, or you could lay on your sunbed and get a massage for a reasonable price. I would suggest negotiating the price as they will start pricing high in anticipation of this.
They served us a buffet style bbq’d lunch that consisted of salads, buns, roast potatoes, rice and bbq ham and chicken. The lunch was absolutely great and gave us the substance that we needed for the rest of the day. There is also an open bar, so you can get your rum and cokes etc. You have about 2.5 hours at this cay and then it is back onto the boat, where the party gets started. The crew then gets the music going and starts teaching local dances to the clients.
We had a blast on this trip and would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to get off the resort, spend a day on the water and see the countryside of the Dominican Republic. All in all a great day and we were back home before dark. AN ABSOLUTE DEFINATE MUST!!
翻译:我们是一对夫妇和一位单身女士。我们于 2023 年 2 月 1 日星期三参观了卡塔利娜岛。我们的交通工具及时接了我们,并将我们带到了我们与来自不同度假村的其他人一起旅行的接送地点。组织来自不同地点的人员有点混乱,但最终一切都很好,我们在路上。从蓬塔卡纳开车大约需要 1.5 小时,可以让您看到乡村景色。我们经过有牛群和其他牲畜的农田,还穿过一些小镇。抵达拉罗马纳后,我们便被转移到一艘美丽的双体船风格的船上,在那里我们开始了 45 分钟到 1 小时的乘船之旅,前往卡塔利娜岛。我们的第一站是沿着珊瑚礁,然后我们有整整 45 分钟的时间浮潜和探索珊瑚礁。我的朋友大卫发现了一片海带,他的手指上有大量的鱼在吃。如果您从未浮潜过,那么看到水面下的生物一定会让您大开眼界。
浮潜后,我们继续乘船航行 15 或 20 分钟,到达一个由白色沙滩和碧蓝海水组成的绝对美丽的海滩。那里有一家小礼品店,可以购买纪念品,或者您可以躺在日光浴床上享受价格合理的按摩服务。我建议谈判价格,因为他们会在预期中开始定价。
他们为我们提供自助式烧烤午餐,包括沙拉、面包、烤土豆、米饭、烧烤火腿和鸡肉。午餐绝对很棒,为我们提供了一天剩余时间所需的物质。还有一个开放式酒吧,所以您可以喝朗姆酒和可乐等。您在这个珊瑚礁有大约 2.5 小时的时间,然后回到船上,派对开始。然后工作人员开始播放音乐并开始向客户教授当地舞蹈。
我们在这次旅行中玩得很开心,肯定会推荐给任何想离开度假村、在水上度过一天并欣赏多米尼加共和国乡村的人。总而言之,这是美好的一天,我们在天黑前回到了家。绝对必须!!
