Description

Check in at our office in Plaza Bibijagua, or enjoy a complimentary pick up at your hotel, villa or the cruise ship terminal in Punta Cana or Cap Cana. We offer round trip transfer from Uvero Alto, Bavaro, Punta Cana and Cap Cana, by an air conditioned, comfortable vehicle. Exact pick up time will be advised after reservation.


Board one of our stylish boats and find comfortable seat in a shaded area or enjoy the sunshine on the deck. We limit the amount of passengers to only 16 people, so we can provide absolute comfort and VIP services. Once everybody is on board, we will head to a beautiful reef, cruising along the coast with amazing view to the area. We have several boats with capacity from 27 to 72 passengers but we will always cap the amount of guests to 16 people.


Our first stop is the Cabeza de Toro reef, a brilliant site to swim and snorkel. An experienced and friendly guide will help you, so you can feel like a pro even if you are a newbie. We will stay here for a while, you can swim, snorkel, dance and enjoy our open bar.


After having fun at the reef, we will set sail again and head to a beautiful sand bar with crystal clear, waist deep water and take our exclusive floating bar with us. Just lean back, relax, enjoy a slow, refreshing swim, and perfect your tan. You can also try paddle boarding in the shallow water.


Our floating open bar offers light and regular beer, premium aged rum and white rum, vodka, tequila, and of course non-alcoholic tropical juices, and soft drinks. On board you can also enjoy nachos and salsa, and of course fresh fruits of the season. The boat is equipped with a bathroom.


After a wonderful time on the water, we will return to our departure point where your shuttle will be waiting for you to bring you back to your hotel, villa or the cruise ship terminal.

We sailed on the 2pm tour, although our transportation got lost and we were on a bit of a time crunch to arrive it all panned out and ended up being a great afternoon spent.
We had a small group, the hosts were fun, outgoing and I throughly enjoyed the music and boat ride. The boat we had was the two level catamaran (happy fish 1) and it was great if you wanted shade or sun. We were there to relax and although music was loud and fun, it didn’t make us feel like we couldn’t relax or enjoy our time. We throughly enjoyed sailing around and seeing Punta Cana for the first time. I don’t necessarily think I would bring our child (9 years) but if you have teens or are young or older adults this tour is totally for you! Whether you are there to drink or not. They in no way expect you to party if you don’t want to.
Happy fish is the way to go!
Very personable guys :) thank you Cpt. Crispy, aqua man, Daniel and Dom you guys were awesome! Good job making it a memorable time.

Brilliant afternoon, best trip of the holiday(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)Recommended
Reviewed by Jay B on November 25, 2019
Booked this through trip advisor instead of booking a commercial trip through the hotel. Paid in £ although we were in Dom rep. We were collected from our hotel by minibus. Lovely little catamaran and there were just 4 couples on our trip so plenty of room. The three guys on board were great and the trip seemed adjusted to those on board. We sailed out drinks in hand, Happy Fish fruit punch which had a good quantity of rum in it! Half the group went snorkelling with one of the guys, he fed the fish so they followed us and he pointed out various sea life, we had plenty of time snorkelling, not restricted to a small area, the others stayed around the boat. A simple sandwich tub of nachos and salsa dip for each couple was clean and efficient and we enjoyed that after our swim. Moved on to the swim site with the sail fluttering, slow gentle and relaxed. The swim area was a bit crowded, party boats and music but our group had jelled and we had fun. More drinks in the water and we used the paddle board, a new experience standing on a paddle board drinking Happy Fish cocktail and eating pineapple, brilliant. A short sail back to the bay and we had a bit of a merange dance, but none of it was forced, unlike those dancing for their drinks on the other boats. We had a great afternoon and were really well looked after. I would recommend these guys as they made us feel special but relaxed and safe on the water, and we had loads of fun at our own pace. Oh and the hangover........ be warned!!!!!

The team were very helpful and nice. Even though the other people who had booked for the same time cancelled, they took me and my husband out anyway. The sea was a bit rough, so was a bit sandy. Saw plenty of fish and a spotted eagle ray.

Slept on the bow hammock on the way back - very relaxing! Luis and Franky were great hosts!

We had such a wonderful time with our crew and our catamaran tour at Happy Fish. The boat is beautiful and well cared for. Our family- 2 adults and 3 teens- had a lot of space to relax, lounge, and enjoy the scenery. Highly recommend this for families who want to get on the water and enjoy some time together away from the crowds. The crew was fantastic and very friendly! The whole experience was great. Thank you Happy Fish!

This was very enjoyable. The pick up and drop off was very speedy and efficient to and from our hotel. We boarded the catamaran almost immediately after drop off. There were only 7 of us, so there was plenty of space for everyone. The service was brilliant, and the refreshments were very nice (especially the Happy Fish Cocktail!) and all the crew were very friendly and nice. The snorkelling was very beautiful, and the coral and fish were amazing. There was even the opportunity to hold a sea urchin. After the snorkelling nachos were served and they were brilliant! The coastline was beautiful, and the music was brilliant. When we stopped at our final destination which is in the shallow water, the water was not clear as the sea had been very rough previously. But the water was very warm, and there was even a floating cocktail bar! Overall we had a lovely experience and were made very welcome on the catamaran. I would highly recommend this to everybody!!

All I can say is that the afternoon I spent on the catamaran with Happy Fish was the most fun I've had in ages. There were 12 of us, and the crew made sure we had an absolute blast (warning: the drinks are strong!) We were on that boat exactly a week ago today, and I am totally wishing I was back there right now (as I sit here in a coat in 40 degree weather back home, eek.) The whole operation was completely professional, the snorkeling was great, the crew members were a ton of fun, and anyone going to Punta Cana should book an excursion with them - you will be so glad that you did!

SERIOUSLY, just listen to what the other reviews say. These guys are the best and they are super fun. The reviews that rate them badly are bull****. Some people expect to be treated like royalty and have their heads up their butts. We were a group of 14 and everything proceeded soooooo smoothly. The crew were super friendly and social with us. We had so much fun. Would 100% do this again next time in DR.

This was a great tour! Our original tour was cancelled due to the waves, but they were able to get us into a boat the next day. The crew was amazing (I only remember Omar, George, and aquaman) and very friendly. They took us out to a reef and one of the guides would swim down and point out the fish. Then they take you to a sand bar for drinking and dancing and fun! They taught us all a Dominican line dance on the boat too which was super fun! I will say, if you don’t have your sea legs, invest in Sea Bands! They will save your life. Two couples had to be taken back to shore when we were on the sand bar because they were sea sick!! Overall amazing experience that I would highly recommend to anyone!

Watching vessels from my resort and while on this excursion, I expected this boat to eventually speed up, but it never did! For my wife and I, this was a great thing. Laying in the hammocks stretched between hulls, with nothing but water beneath us, relaxation was inevitable! The music was very contemporary, but more importantly, played at an enjoyable volume where conversations could be had simultaneously. The snorkeling itself was amazing. Considering it's my first experience snorkeling in open water, I was surprised at how far away from shore we were. Based on the description listed, I was expecting some sort of protected cove or shallows, but definitely not the case. As a very adept swimmer this added to my enthusiasm! Be advised, they have ample floatation belts so even a non-swimmer can enjoy this experience. Our guide, Domingo, made it one of the most amazing things I have ever experienced! He not only explained what we were viewing, but he also brought some creatures to the surface for holding/viewing. More importantly, however, he always put them back exactly where he got them. I never expected to see such an intense conservation effort from a tour guide. Additionally, he was constantly checking with everyone individually to ensure there were no issues as we proceeded. While it seems "common sense" to ensure you bring everyone back, I would think it's also just as easy to be distracted by your task of making this experience unforgettable, yet safety was a conscious priority for him. I don't know that I'd ever be tired of seeing the number of fish and corals or the varieties of them I got to see. If I knew in advance my underwater viewing would be the same, I would do this tour again.

This is my 4th trip to Punta Cana, and my first time actually going on an excursion - last year we booked with another company and our trip was cancelled by them last minute two days in a row - so this year I searched before our trip and was excited about all the rave reviews of Happy Fish - especially how they won’t cancel, even if only 2 people have booked - let me assure you, they did not disappoint!!! We had the boat that will accommodate 27, but there were only the two of us and another family of 6. We were picked up on time at our hotel in a nice air-conditioned van that even had wi-fi! Our crew was AMAZING - thanks Rafael - El Capitan! Frankie and Georges - plus our great bartender! The trip was perfect - and upon return, our driver was there on the shore waiting to bring us back to our hotel and offered to stay with us while we shopped before leaving. We will ALWAYS book with Happy Fish on our future trips!

Honestly we didn't know what to expect from this trip, when we get to the catamaran, we were informed that another group had given up and it would be a private tour. Just me my girlfriend and the crew, Daniel and Crispy. The most fantastic crew we could get. So nice, always asking if we were okay, if we would like something to eat or drink. We even had the chance to listen to portuguese music, thank you Daniel ;) .
The snorkeling was amazing, we spent more than 1 hour swimming, with daniel guiding us. In the natural pool we had the chance to try a coconut, we had pinneapple and mango, beer. We even made a toast with Daniel and Crispy with mamajuana.
If i would do it again? I would go to Punta Cana again just to make this trip again!
Thank you Happy fish catamaran, Thank you Daniel and Crispy for making our trip unforgettable.
