Hop aboard for a full-day boat trip to Catalina Island, a stone's throw from the south coast of the mainland. You'll drop anchor to snorkel around one of the Dominican Republic's most bustling coral reefs, La Pared, where you can spot a colourful carpet of live corals, crabs and tropical fish. Then, you'll head to dry land, where you can enjoy some beach time and tuck into lunch, Dominican-style. Think fresh grilled meats, rice and salads served with your choice of beer, rum, or soft drinks.
