“Parasailing felt rushed and was only on it for less then 5 minutes it was okay. Now the snorkeling…. we only did this activity for less than 3-4 minutes it was extremely rushed, it wasn’t worth the price. Caterman cruise was mid af. Overall I wouldn’t really recommend this specific package.”

Parasail 500 feet over Punta Cana, snorkel among tropical fish, and enjoy a catamaran party cruise with drinks, fruit, and hotel transfers.

“It was disorganized . Didn’t get to do the parasailing, which was the main reason we bought the excursion. The good thing is that we go partial refund. Everything felt rushed. The drinks hit, but besides that didn’t get to experience that much time for snorkeling with fish. And those who snorkel with sting rays/sharks (paid an extra $50) were not in the water for long but about 15 min long.”
