Which Catalina Island?
This guide covers Isla Catalina near La Romana, Dominican Republic. Santa Catalina Island in California is a different destination: its ferries, hotels and dive sites do not apply here. Use La Romana as the geographic reference when arranging your day.
Choose the experience before the boat
Snorkeling keeps you at the surface; scuba diving is a separate activity with training and supervision requirements. A private charter reserves the boat for your party. Tell us how many guests want each activity, whether anyone is a beginner and where you are staying.
Build a complete island day
Keep your pickup time, boat meeting point and hotel return arrangements together in one confirmation. Read the snorkeling, diving and transfer guides before choosing. Sea conditions can change the route; a beautiful photograph does not forecast visibility on your date.
