This trip was amazing. The staff was exceptional “Kevin hart” Rafael and the rest of the staff. Sorry guys I forgot your names but they were all so wonderful. We had a fantastic time. The water was beautiful. They make sure you see so many fish. The snacks and drinks are great. I’d do this trip over and over again.

A must do in Punta Cana

Maya_W, Sep 2023

The Happy Fish boat crew Ivan, Nino Juan and Freddy made our cruise unforgettable. They were so kind an patient with my 7 year old. I have been recommending it to everyone, it was a fantastic experience!

Great fun!

ELIZABETH_D, Sep 2023

The trip was wonderful! The whole crew was so nice and entertaining! You should definitely book this trip on the Happy Fish 1 boat.

Must Try!

Chelsea_P, Aug 2023

This was worth every penny! I loved the crew. They helped some of us who couldn’t swim that well snorkel in the water. Amazing staff

Amazing snorkeling trip

Dennis_R, Aug 2023

Loved it

Lindsay_M, Aug 2023

Absolutely incredible day! The crew was amazing and so much fun! The snorkeling was the best we have ever experienced and we have snorkeled a lot of different countries. Gorgeous scenery, delicious drinks. No complaints!

Perfect trip, excellent staff and great value for money.

Michelle_W, Aug 2023

We spent a long time researching what trip would be best for us, two adults and two children. We were incredibly impressed with the quality of this trip. The staff were welcoming, helpful and made it such a fun morning. We had enough time to enjoy the snorkelling, were serviced a delicious snack of homemade guacamole and nachos and drinks were plentiful. This trip was half the price of some of the others we researched and was fantastic value for money.

DO BELIEVE THE HYPE

Jay_L, Aug 2023

Pickup was smooth, ride to the demarcation was short, and didn't have to wait very long before boarding the boat. The group you are with makes all the difference, and we got lucky. Our group was hype! Boat crew (Cap. Ivan, Frankie and Anna) were all very hospitable. Potentially the most fun excursion I have ever been on!!

Outstanding snorkel adventure!

Jeff_K, Aug 2023

After seeing the high reviews we did this one as we didn’t want the 2 hr each way excursion. Absolutely loved this tour with Happy Fish. The entire crew was awesome and aqua man was a great guide for us out in the water. The fish were plentiful, there were so many great sites. The shallow area after the hour of snorkeling was awesome with other boats tied down and people enjoying. The awesome weather.

No need to look at the other catamaran trips…

Elizabeth_C, Aug 2023

Just book this! We were 4 adults and 4 teens. This crew was professional in every way. Fun for everyone! Beautiful boat, immaculately kept and each guest was treated really well.

Very Good Experience. PERFECT amount of time.

Ryan_A, Aug 2023

We had a great experience on this excursion. It included a great snorkeling experience and some time at the sand bar. Our catamaran on had 14 passengers, so it was extremely personal there was tons of room to move around. My only caution to sensitive people would be the sandbar. It’s your boat and lots of others. Many different songs blasting. Some families may not enjoy that experience but it was not an issue for us. The food was perfect - chips and guacamole and salsa. After non stop eating at the resort, we definitely did not want or need more food. Drinks were good too.

The captain and his crew were awesome. They made the trip so much fun by dancing and laughing and just having a great time. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is looking for a great time on a boat with a great crew.

The crew was very...

Shannon_C, Jul 2023

The crew was very attentive and fun! When I lost my watch in the ocean they were so helpful in relocating it

Happy Fish 1 - great time... we did it twice!

Karen_R, Jul 2023

We had so much fun the first time, we booked it again for three days later. Sailed on Happy Fish 1 both times. They were very responsive and kept me informed by app message and text about pick up. Our crew was awesome: the everything leader Daniel, bartender Anna, Captain Crispy and water guide Frankie (1st trip) and Kevin Hart (2nd trip.) Everyone was super friendly and gracious... Their goal was to make sure we had a great experience and they exceeded our expectations. HIGHLY recommend. Side note: area has lots of vendors. they are aggressive. this was expected. but just be aware. AND must haggle price.

I would go again!!

Joanne_s, Jul 2023

Feeding the tropical fish was amazing!! The guac and salsa was very tasty and just enough to hold you over till lunch. Capt. Krispy was wonderful!! The whole crew did fantastic.

Happy Fish, happy customer!

Lorena_O, Jul 2023

What a great half day getaway! The staff on the boat were phenomenal! They catered to everyones needs. The snorkeling was ok not many fishes, but the best part was the natural pool where the staff really shined . A big shout out to Daniel, JC, Ana, and Captain Crispy, they were awesome. Overall, this is more of a party boat atmosphere than a true snorkeling excursion.

Loved it!

Kathleen_G, Jul 2023

The reviews on line did it justice. We were not disappointed. Staff was extremely friendly, boat was clean and new looking and we saw a lot of tropical fish. The experience was personal. Highlight of our trip.

Great experience

Jared_G, Jul 2023

Great experience - excellent help from all of the staff with everything from getting on the boat getting off the boat refilling drinks, serving apps, helping people with paddle boards and snorkeling and making it a great excursion. You should feel really confident in booking. Happy fish for your next snorkeling tour. Plus dancing to great music and a positive vibe was great

My family and I had the...

Heather_J, Jul 2023

My family and I had the best time! I can’t say enough about how great Frankie, Al, Ana, and “Kevin” Hart were. Would’ve done it a second time if we could have!

Best Caribbean Snorkeling!

Jordan_T, Jul 2023

Best snorkeling excursion in the Caribbean!! Amazing crew and beautiful locations visited. Happy Fish 1 for the win!

Awesome time snorkeling

Dina_R, Jul 2023

Captain Raphael and crew were awesome! Raphael did a great job leading us through snorkeling. The drinks and guacamole were delicious. Would definitely book with them again!
