Pros & Cons
Pros: the service, the transportation, the snorkeling experience was great, the guys working the boats was great, overall we definitely did have a good time. Cons: my husband and I were the last to go up on the parasailing portion. I understand that they in no way can change the wind conditions. However, when iy was our time to go, there was a long portion of time where the sail was not going up and we were getting dragged through the water. They could have stopped a bit earlier on when we were up when they noticed it wasn’t working, rather than trying a few more times to get it back up. To give you an idea, everyone else pretty much barely touched the water, my husband and I were dragged semi UNDER the water. And my husband was becoming tangled in the lines during this too along with being a little close to the motor…. They did apologize when pulling me up. But this could have been worse. When we got to the snorkeling boat, they had us sign waivers… after the fact… they did say to us that they’d refund the two of us for the parasailing portion, and that the “boss would be in touch with me”…. They never did. I didn’t get a response through messaging them, so i requested a refund of 50%. I think given the circumstances… They never got back to me and only issued a $100 refund…. Without acknowledging the safety issue. My one other complaint was with the photo guys. We fully expected to be charged for them but kept saying no at first because the price. They would NOT let it go, and then as we were walking back to the bus, once we worked it out, the second photographer really sat there and looked at us with an agressive attitude got close to us and saying to my husband “but where’s my tip??”. I think the refund I requested originally would have been fair considering the experience we had. The snorkeling portion was great and we loved the host on the snorkeling boat. The safety issue along with the semi lack of communication, and the second photographer towards the end put a damper on things. Still enjoying the snorkeling portion though.
Perfect experience - from...
Perfect experience - from the pickup at our hotel in Cap Cana, everything went smoothly. The team was friendly and welcoming, and we had a great first time parasailing, and the catamaran was exactly what we had hoped for.
Not impressed
Our tour operators spoke very little English, did not provide any explanation of the process or safety protocol and were not overly friendly.
Overall good experience…
The overall experience was good…the truck ride after pickup was like a ride from hell. After almost an hour of getting to the destination everything was good.
