Riu snorkeling - fun and relax for you and your family
Sharing an island with the country of Haiti, the Dominican Republic is situated in the Caribbean between the North Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. The blue Caribbean waters are one of the major reasons that tourists flock to the Dominican Republic. Underneath the deep blue waters, an underwater world is ready to be explored by scuba divers and snorkelers. The elaborate reef systems just off the coast house a vast array of ocean life. The beach town of Sousa is one of the most popular among those looking for snorkeling in the Dominican Republic. Sousa Beach is a sheltered cove and the reef can be easily accessed from the beach. Another great place for Dominican Republic snorkeling is Isla Catalina is a small island off of the Dominican Republic that is surrounded by a very healthy coral beach. The white sand beaches provide easy access. If you are interested in chartering a boat, there are several worthwhile spots off of Punta Cana. An area called "The Aquarium" or the reef off of El Cortecito beach are both popular stops for excursions. Get ready to get wet. The Dominican Republic's northern coast is a water-sports mecca for beginner and pro alike. And for those dry dock days, the Caribbean island's mountains, towns, and people offer plenty more. The food, language, and exchange rate are bonuses. What can't be missed is snorkeling or diving in Sosua's famous coral reefs just offshore. Daily excursions with certified guides offer night dives, shipwreck dives, and scuba trips to other parts of the country. Transportation to and from hotels, as well as lunch, is included in packages that usually begin at about $150. For those wanting to sample the reefs while staying completely dry, a glass-bottomed boat tour leaves from Sosua Beach on half-hour trips costing less than $10. Cabarete Beach is a 30-minute cab ride from Puerto Plata, and a world away. The vibe is definitely for the young and young at heart. The main street is filled with funky souvenir shops and good food, but it's the remarkable inlet beach filled with kitesurfers and windsurfers that make for a water carnival unique to the Dominican Republic.
