The Catalina Island tour from Punta Cana is a full-day trip with round-trip transportation included from your hotel in Bávaro or Punta Cana. Catalina Island is a small protected island with no hotels off La Romana, in the southeast of the Dominican Republic, and it has one of the best snorkeling spots in the country: La Pared (The Wall), a coral reef with tropical fish and colorful corals. There you enjoy about 40 minutes of guided snorkeling, gear included, perfect even if it is your first time. Then you spend about 3 hours on the island's white sand beach, quieter and less crowded than other islands, with turquoise water and a Dominican buffet lunch served by the sea.
