Unforgettable Experiences – Catamaran Cruises in the Dominican Republic

Looking for some fun? Whatever you do, Don't Click Here!

Your ears are filled with the calm sounds of waves lapping at the shore as the sun is shining down on you, bathing you in a sumptuous warmth that only seems to confirm in your mind what you had suspected before traveling to the Dominican republic – this place really is paradise. As idyllic as the imagery described may sound, the truth is there is only so much lying around doing nothing that one person can handle – honest! So, faced with impending boredom in a tropical paradise, what can you do to quicken your pulse for a little while? Try experiencing the scenery from the water instead of viewing the water from the shore. How do you do this? Take a Catamaran cruise.

A Catamaran cruise makes for an unforgettable day of relaxation and sightseeing, allowing for a sightseeing experience like no other. Many catamaran cruises are day trips, although some will include a night of camping at whatever the chosen destination is. Most tour companies make the entire day – including the transportation to and from the dock – part of the experience. Some include tours of local landmarks en route to the dock, others include stops for authentic local food or drinks; all of them have one main focus – to make your trip and tour as enjoyable as possible.

Saona Island is a popular destination point of many of the local tours as it is close enough to make a return voyage in the same day. Some tours stop along the way to visit lagoons, others include snorkeling and reef diving as part of the tour. While diving and swimming isn’t for everyone, it should be noted that most of the waters where you would be able to partake in these activities are teeming with tropical exotic fish and the landscape beneath the water level is simply breathtaking – they provide unique holiday experiences and memories and definitely aren’t something you’re going to experience at home.

Most of the tours that provide a destination point also include free leisure time at said destination – it would be cruel and unusual to sail to Saona (or any place really) only to turn around and head back before getting to experience a bit of the island. Walk the beaches, go for a swim, play volleyball – its leisure time, so do as you please!

The journey back is generally in the early evening; although as mentioned above some tours do include a destination that is far enough away to warrant an overnight stay. The crews of many of the tour operations are an attraction unto themselves and while making the journey as entertaining as possible isn’t their job, it’s just how they like to do things! (*tourist tip – gratuities are optional but are very much appreciated). After you’ve been dropped off back at your hotel you may feel somewhat tired from the day’s activities – your mind already replaying the sights from the tour – and that’s okay – you can always lay out on the beach tomorrow.
