Catalina Island Tour from Novus Plaza Hodelpa

Identify the correct hotel

Novus Plaza Hodelpa is on Hostos Street in Santo Domingo's Colonial Zone, with comfortable city accommodation and an El Patio restaurant. It is distinct from Hodelpa Caribe Colonial.

Plan the hotel collection

Ask whether the agreed vehicle can meet at this specific hotel or requires a nearby accessible meeting point. Historic-center accommodation is not a beach embarkation address. Confirm the walking instructions, if any, with the excursion contact and hotel before leaving with your beach bag.

Confirm where the excursion vehicle can reach your hotel or street and how to meet it if direct access is unsuitable. Send a building number and host contact for apartments. Keep city sightseeing and a fixed restaurant booking outside the Catalina return window until the full road-and-boat schedule is agreed.

Match the day to your travel party

Treat Catalina as a separate full-day experience from a Colonial City walking itinerary. Wear practical footwear for any agreed walk to the vehicle and pack beach equipment separately. Choose snorkeling or diving for each traveler, then confirm that the return arrangement fits the actual historic-center accommodation.

Pick your Catalina experience

CatalinaTrip offers the full-day snorkeling tour for US$99 and the diving option for US$149, with or without certification subject to the appropriate introductory plan. Private boat use is quoted separately. Transfer, drinks and Dominican buffet lunch at the beach are included in all options.

Confirm collection before the day

Provide your date, full guest count, children's ages and WhatsApp contact. Ask for the precise entrance, collection time, boat meeting point and return window. Do not assume the hotel operates or endorses the excursion; its official website is cited for identity and location only.
