Pickup and meeting point
- Hotel selection: Your hotel is selected on the booking page. A property that isn't immediately visible may still appear when you type its name into the search field.
- Collection message: Check the collection message before making plans around your boat's departure. The team sends your hotel time through the booking page, and it can vary by property.
- Boarding access: The boat isn't fully wheelchair accessible. Any assistance needed for your boarding should be discussed when booking so the team can assess access.
Before you book
- Check the lunch choices when booking if seafood doesn't suit you. Meat and vegetarian meals are available from the floating kitchen.
Fit
Is this tour right for you?
Everyone in your party needs to be at least 15. This suits couples who want a guided reef swim with lunch included. You don't need a separate lunch stop ashore. The seafood meal is the draw if you're choosing between snorkeling trips with snacks and a full meal.
For younger children, Coral Quest includes a children's menu and guided nursery snorkeling from $114 per adult. Choose Happy Fish for a 16 guest limit and a paddleboard from $99 per adult.
Who it's not for
- Families bringing children younger than 15
- Guests requiring private hotel transport in the price
- Wheelchair users without prior boarding arrangements
Good to know
Know before you go
The minimum joining age is 15. This cruise isn't recommended during pregnancy or for travelers with poor cardiovascular health. Boarding assistance needs discussing with Hispaniola before you reserve.
Bring a towel and sunscreen from your hotel. Neither comes with the price for this boat day. Your snorkeling equipment and guides are included for the reef visit.
Meat and vegetarian dishes are available alongside seafood. Food allergies need sharing when you make the reservation. The floating kitchen meal doesn't require everyone in your party to eat fish.
One reservation accepts up to 30 travelers. The tour can carry 35 guests across bookings, so those limits aren't the same. Your booking is accepted immediately and uses a mobile ticket.
Poor weather can prevent the trip from running. Book before your last resort day to leave space for another date. Any new arrangement still needs agreeing with the team.
A full refund requires cancellation at least 24 hours before sailing. You won't receive one if you cancel later. The deadline refers to departure rather than your hotel's collection time.

- Can teenagers join Hispaniola's Caribbean Escape?
Teenagers can join from age 15. Younger children can't take this particular cruise even when traveling with parents. The age rule applies to the whole party. Coral Quest is the family option if your children are younger.
- What time does Caribbean Escape leave Punta Cana?
The departures are 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. each day. Both follow the same 4 hour program. Your hotel pickup happens beforehand and varies by property. Check the collection message before deciding when to leave your room.
- Is lunch on Caribbean Escape only seafood?
No, meat and vegetarian alternatives are available. Lunch is part of the 4 hour cruise and comes from the floating kitchen. You don't have to choose seafood to join. Any food allergy needs explaining when you book the trip.
- Can Caribbean Escape be canceled for a refund?
Yes, if you cancel at least 24 hours before departure. A later cancellation doesn't qualify for a refund under the standard rule. Your pickup time doesn't extend that window. Weather disruption is a separate reason the sailing may change.
