Discover Catalina Island, an uninhabited natural reserve off the coast of La Romana and one of the top diving and snorkeling spots in the Caribbean. Known for its crystal-clear water and vibrant coral reefs, it offers a quieter, more untouched alternative to Saona — the feeling of having your own private island escape.

How it works:

• Hotel pickup: Bullet Travel picks you up from your Punta Cana resort in an air-conditioned vehicle for the scenic drive to La Romana’s marina.
• Boat crossing: Board a catamaran for the cruise out to Catalina, with music, welcome drinks, and coastal views along the way.
• Snorkeling stop: Pause at “The Wall,” a world-famous reef wall, for guided snorkeling among colorful fish, coral formations, and sometimes sea turtles or stingrays. Equipment is included.
• Beach time: Arrive at Catalina’s stunning private beach to relax on soft white sand, swim in turquoise shallows, or keep exploring underwater.
• Lunch: Enjoy a Dominican buffet lunch served beachside, with drinks flowing from the open bar all day.
• Return: Head back to the marina by catamaran, then bus back to your hotel in the afternoon.

Good to know:

• Duration is typically 8–12 hours door to door.
• Snorkeling is the highlight here — bring an underwater camera if you have one.
• Ideal for travelers who want a mix of adventure and relaxation, with fewer crowds than Saona.
