What is The Wall?
The Wall is Catalina Island's famous drop-off, a coral ledge that falls away into deep blue water. It is one of the best known snorkeling and diving sites in the Dominican Republic, and your first guided stop of the day.
Do I need snorkeling experience?
No. Both stops are guided, and the second stop at the shallow flat known as the aquarium is calm and beginner friendly. Let the crew know your comfort level and they will keep you close.
Is this tour good for kids and families?
Yes. Children are welcome with an accompanying adult and sail at a reduced child rate, and infants ride free. The shallow aquarium stop is especially family friendly.
How big is the group?
The Quetzal is a 75-foot catamaran that sails with a small group, so there is room to spread out across the lounge, cabins and bar areas rather than standing shoulder to shoulder.
How much does it cost?
Adult tickets start at $149, children ride for $80 and infants are free. Check availability for current pricing on your date.
What should I bring?
Bring a swimsuit, towel, reef-safe sunscreen and some cash for souvenir photos or tips. Snorkeling is guided, and food and drinks are covered on board.
What is the cancellation policy?
This tour follows our standard policy: free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure for a full refund.
When is the best time to do this tour?
The tour runs year round. December through April brings the driest weather and calmest seas, and those dates sell out first.
Is lunch suitable for vegetarians?
Yes. A vegetarian option is available on the buffet if you mention it at the time of booking.
