Itinerary
Day 1
Private 4-hour cruise. Sample schedule shown for the 12:00 departure option (operator offers hotel pickup; final pickup times confirmed on voucher).
Meeting & check-in — Souvenir shop near Whala!bávaro
Guests meet here for check-in and last-minute souvenir shopping while the crew finalizes boarding. This is the published agenda meeting location.
Tips from local experts:
- If you require pickup, confirm your hotel and pickup time with the operator before the day; otherwise arrive at the meeting point 10–15 minutes before the listed departure.
- Bring photo ID for beverage service and a small cash or card for souvenirs — many local stalls accept cards but small bills are useful.
- Sunscreen and towels are not provided by the operator (sunscreen is excluded); bring reef-safe sunscreen and a lightweight cover-up for sun protection.
Boarding & safety briefing — embarkation at Playa Bávaro
Walk from the meeting point to the local embarkation area and board the private double-deck catamaran. Crew runs a short safety briefing before departure.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear slip-resistant sandals for boarding and bring a small dry bag for valuables; crew can store larger items onboard during the cruise.
- If you get seasick easily, take medication at least 30 minutes before boarding — the boat will be offshore for parts of the cruise.
- Snorkelling equipment is included; fit masks before entering the water with crew assistance if needed.
Cruise: snorkeling, natural pool stop & dolphin view, onboard entertainment
Enjoy open water cruising with a stop for snorkeling and time at the natural pool. The boat will pass dolphin habitats for viewing from the vessel. Dominican dancer performs onboard and staff take professional photos.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring swimwear under clothes so you can change quickly; snorkeling equipment is provided but you may bring your own mask if preferred.
- Respect marked swim areas during the natural pool stop and follow crew instructions for stepping in/out of the water.
- Ask the crew early if you want photos taken — professional photos are included but specifying moments (group photo, action shot at the slide) helps timing.
Premium buffet lunch & open bar (onboard)
Premium buffet service with hot and cold local and international dishes served on the boat; premium open bar remains available throughout the service.
Tips from local experts:
- Notify the crew in advance of any food allergies or dietary restrictions so they can advise on suitable buffet options.
- Alcoholic beverages are served as part of the open bar; have ID ready if requested by staff.
- Pace drinking and hydrate with bottled water between alcoholic drinks; bottled water is provided but bring a refillable bottle if you prefer.
Return to shore, disembark and final photos
Cruise returns to the embarkation area, guests disembark and collect any personal items. Time to take last photos and head to hotel pickups if arranged.
Tips from local experts:
- Collect all personal belongings before disembarking; check with crew for any left items and for assistance returning to hotel pickup points.
- If you require a towel or sunscreen after the cruise, plan to bring your own since towels and sunscreen are excluded.
- If you did not use operator hotel pickup, arrange a taxi or return walk route ahead of time; many hotels are a short transfer from the embarkation area.
