The only thing that was close to the description of this tour is that we got to snorkle near the wall, not at the wall though. We were not taken to Altos de Chavon, or to the river, and there was no lobster. What we got was a long ride in a van to a scuba boat that when finally loaded and ready took us to a snorkle spot near the wall, the divers went to the wall, where as the snorklers were left snorking around the boat. We were taken to Catalina island and finally given a bbq lunch, but told we had to pay extra for lobster. And after an hour or so we were shuttled back to our hotel. I booked this tour for all of the activities we were supposed to have and was really disappointed to have the whole day taken up and only get 20 minutes of snorkeling. I wouldn't have spent the money or time on this tour as it was.
