Punta Cana Combo Tour: Speedboat Ride, Snuba and Snorkeling

The truck that shows up has stingrays and other stuff on it. It doesn't have the exact name of the company that's offered on Viator. Dividing everyone on the boat was super stressful, but the experiences that took place after that were awesome! We were lucky enough to snorkel, then speedboat, then snuba, which worked out great because SNUBA was a magnificent grand finale! Even though the pictures that come on the CD are SNUBA only, I would recommend buying them.

They picked us up at our hotel, whole thing was very organized. The reason it isn't getting 5 stars is that it wasn't 3 hours long, each activity was about 20 mins long, so the money wasn't worth it, it should be less expensive. Each thing would have been more fun had it been longer. But the guys were great on the boat, especially Eric!! He stayed by my side and helped me with the snuba

One thing for sure the crew that works this tour are all amazing. Most speak English very well as well as other languages Spanish, French, German, Chinese, English and others. We were picked up at our hotel ontime and the ride to the dock was interesting to see how folks in the DR live, drive a bit different than the US :-. Roads are very narrow trees low, etc. Once we arrive we were greeted immediately by the tour guides, very friendly and of course there were a couple vendors wanting you to shop. Typically I'm not thrilled about that, but I must say, they're shops had some very nice items and at the end of the day they're trying to make a living. After 10 minutes or so, you watch a saftey and instructional video before heading to the boat. The boat ride to/from the Snuba, Snorkeling and Speedboats was the longest portion of the trip, but it was a nice ride viewing the DR coastline. Once we arrive, we were broken up into 3 groups for each activity. Snorkeling was our first and it was great although the surf was a bit on the rough side, but very nice. We then took a short boat ride to the Speedboats and drove them a couple loops around the area. Got back on the small boat and docked with the bigger boat to do Snuba. Snuba is fun, first time and took some getting used to breathing, gettting water out of mask, etc. but worth doing if you haven't done it. Trip ended with a boat ride back, pics, underwater cameras, etc available for purchase it you so choose. I would have rated it a 5, but a few folks were a bit sea sick, which is no fault of the Tour, just one of those things that happen at times, but made the overall trip Very Good instead of Excellent!!!

We really enjoyed the excursion. The guides were cool. The experiences were GREAT. We had never SNUBAd so this was new, The guides really helped us to enjoy this part

The snuba and the snorkeling were by far the best part of this excursion. The speedboat wasn't anyting much to partake in, but the snuba and snorkeling were worth the money.

Jet boat was a bit disappointing , the tour guide seemed to have an attitude, and seaweed kept slowing us down. But the Snuba and Snorkeling were superb!

I booked this tour on Saturday and asked to be picked up on Saturday. Apparently, nobody can pick us up from the hotel on that day, so the person I talked to told me that our tour has to be moved to Monday instead and be picked up at 0845 am in our hotel lobby. On Monday, hubby and I were already in the hotel lobby at 0840. Hubby asked around for the driver of the tour, and actually approached a guy and asked him if he's there for the Combo tour. The guy said he's picking up somebody else. At 9pm, I got concerned and started calling the tour company and asked about our ride. I was told that the guide already left at 0855 since the driver claimed we were not there. I was annoyed and irritated with this and explained to the person I was talking to that our pick up time was moved from Saturday to Monday and now, they're claiming that we were not there at the lobby when we had been waiting 5minutes earlier than the agreed time and been there since. The guy then quickly rectified the situation and sent for the driver again and was told that the driver will be there to pick us up within 15minutes. When the driver came, we were surprised! It was the same guy that my husband was talking to and asked if he's our driver who's picking us up for the tour. Now I don't know what exactly happened probably language barrier, but we're happy now since we're being finally picked up for real and actually made it to the tour on time. I would recommend this tour to anybody. The guides were very, very helpful and accommodating especially the two guides the one with the Snuba, and the one with the Snorkeling. I don't know how to swim and a little bit afraid of the water/sea, so the snorkeling guide gave me his ring buoy device and had me hold on to it. After awhile, I started relaxing and enjoying the snorkeling. The guide was near me most of the time and checking on me if I'm ok. The snuba guide was very awesome as well. The first time I attempted to go down, I panicked because I can't neutralize my ears. Then he took the weights off my waist and helped me up. I then practiced to neutralize my ears in the surface and after a few minutes, he came back for me and held my hand and guided me slowly going down deeper in the water. I was kinda happy because I am able to neutralize my ears this time and was less than 2 feet from the bottom of the sea, when he started to put back the weights around my waist, and then water started coming inside my mask and at the same time, my ears needed neutralizing again. I couldn't prioritize between neutralizing my ears and blowing the water out of my googles and calming myself, so I keep mucking up all three. I just ended up frustrated after a minute of trying and decided to go back up. All this time, the guide just stayed with me and made sure I was ok. Then, when I decided to go back up and gestured him that, he just took off the weights off my waist. Driving the speed boat was also awesome. This tour regardless of me not enjoying much the snuba which is my fault anyway is one of the best guided water tour I have ever been to. And I think it's because of the very helpful crew.

Excellent excursion! Would highly recommend. The guides were so patient and helpful with all those scared about trying Snuba. So glad I did it and listened to them. Everything was well planned on their part and put together. Loved feeding the fish out of our hands - awesome!

So much fun and everyone working the tour was fun, friendly, and very helpful!!

Highly recommend! Snuba was crazy good! The guides made all the difference! The guides gave us natural food that helped the fish come over as we were able to take tons of pics whether it was with our camera or their photographer! Don't forget you underwater camera!
