• 5It’s was very good...

• 2Not what I expected

  I don’t recommend this tour. The beach they take you to is so crowded, food was gross. Lots of changing boats which made it extremely difficult with children.

• 5Cant wait to take another trip

  My wife and I had a great experience with Scuba Caribe from booking 2 excursions to returning afterwards. We met Jose (M&M) poolside at Riu Palace. At first we were very indecisive as to whether we wanted to book a trip but after talking for awhile, we decided to give it a try with the VIP experience (the lobster lunch sold us). We ended up going in the morning and the bus and guide (Vivi) was very prompt and professional. It was very difficult to understand everything that was said since most was in Spanish, but Vivi made sure that everyone understood what was going on and what to expect. The second trip we took was a 4 hour fishing trip. I can not remember the deck hands name, but he was very great as well. He did the majority of the work and ensured we were doing fine expecially with the 5-7 foot waves we experienced. We had 1 young lady that got very ill from the ride and had to return her and her husband back to shore. The captain stayed out for an extra hour to compansate everyone for going back to shore. I was looking forward to trying to catch a blue marlin, but ended up catching 2 Mahi Mahi and 1 baracuda instead. Overall, my wife and I had a very great experience with Scuba Caribe and the staff. If I am out that way again, I surely will book another excursion with them.

• 1Not the best experience

  As someone who is well traveled this experience was not it. To start off, once we arrived to the boat docking we waited about an hour to leave. It was so chaotic, so many people trying to figure out which boat to get on and our tour guide was running all over the place. We kept getting on different boats to get to the island at one point we waited 30 mins to get on a boat that would take us closer to the island. There is one bottle of rum that they take and one bottle of coke and that is your drink on the boat. The food on the island was left uncovered and hundreds of people have access to the food there is no one covering the food resulting in flies on the food. The island has hundreds of people on it and most of the lounging chairs were taken. It was not a fun experience and I hate that it took up my whole day. The workers work hard but there is a lot of room for improvement.
