Snorkeling in the Dominican Republic | Crystal Clear Water & Tropical Fish

[00:00:05]So now I made it to the beach.

[00:00:08]I think this is a White Cliffs Liar.

[00:00:12]She is. It's a long line.

[00:00:17]Look how beautiful it is, man. Wow.

[00:00:22]Oh, that is gorgeous.

[00:00:31]Wow.

[00:00:34]It's traditional coconuts in it.

[00:00:38]Oh, man. I need some of these shoes for home.

[00:00:45]I'm still walking down the beach.

[00:00:53]It's no ground here a little bit.

[00:00:55]I mean, we only have like an hour. I'm just going to go around the water and skip out on lunch.

[00:00:59]Go ahead and get in and see what we can see.

[00:01:02]>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> That has been some of the better snorkeling I've had in a while.

[00:02:23]See that?

[00:02:25]A lot of stuff we can probably talk about there.

[00:02:27]But this the red sea urchins I've never seen before. That was quite interesting.

[00:02:31]Um a lot of live coral, man. A lot of it is alive, coming to life right now, so baby, so young. In a few years it'll be even bigger.

[00:02:41]Pretty cuz the reef here is like pretty untouched.

[00:02:47]Pretty cool.

[00:02:48]Anyway, we're going to head back to the boat very shortly. We have about 10-15 minutes. Let me give you guys like a quick little tour of the place.

[00:02:57]First of all, Julian and I were saying that I think we saw this kind of tree in Barbados.

[00:03:02]I say cuz of these things here. I remember seeing them floating in the water.

[00:03:06]But behind us you've got a bar.

[00:03:09]Uh which are could be any ranging from like I think it was like $12 upwards.

[00:03:13]Some people got their drinks in pineapples or coconuts.

[00:03:17]Here is where the food was. I don't think it's actually out anymore.

[00:03:21]But going this way you can get kayaks to take out on the water.

[00:03:28]Or you could snorkel, which the best snorkeling for us was all the way out that way. I'll show you guys around.

[00:03:36]This is the bar area.

[00:03:45]And then over here is the food area.

[00:03:51]>> [music] >> That's the Dominican public flying just for those who don't know.

[00:04:00]And lettuce and tomato cucumber [music] salad.

[00:04:06]Pasta salad.

[00:04:12]Beans, pasta, fish and chicken barbecue sauce. It all looks really, really good.

[00:04:31]Honestly, if you're coming to the Dominican Republic, I would like come here for the whole day.

[00:04:36]There's a lot to do here. You could I mean, I we're only here for an hour and a half. I went up swimming for an entire hour.

[00:04:42]Um so, I would that's what I would suggest.

[00:04:46]Come here. Though, I will say doing the falls and it's pretty fun. Like that, we are heading out.

[00:04:52]>> [music] >> The whole house in here.

[00:04:58]It's a full-on beach house.

[00:05:10]>> [music] >> All right, we're going to head back to the ship.

[00:05:17]It leaves in 20 [music] minutes. They look They had a lazy river here.

[00:05:22]This is everything they actually [music] physically have here at the port that we did not did not actually see.

[00:05:49]And just like that, we are back on the ship. We're actually pulling out at this very moment.

[00:05:57]Check that out. So, today was fantastic. We did two excursions. You got to see the first one and and now this is the beginning of the second one. And uh dude, I got to admit, this was just so much fun. I wish we had more time to spend on the beach, which funny enough, as we're pulling out, I believe that beach is being like picked out just a little bit right around that bend, right around over there. Um you can totally do three different things when you come here.

[00:06:26]Whether it's going down the waterfalls, which is fun, but it's maybe just a a 4-hour excursion, maybe a little bit less. You can go to the beach, which I suggest because I'm a big snorkeler. You saw all the awesome things that we did. Uh I honestly saw a lot of wildlife here, better than say Martin at the beach. So, it was better than Bermuda, it was better than St. Martin. So, it could be it. Or you could also do the third option, which is literally just stay at the end of port, in which if you do that, they had all these things we had no idea about, like a lazy river and pools and other fun things to do.

[00:07:03]Um you could do that and it's free.

[00:07:04]That's included, by the way. So, just some options. Keep in mind that's only the smaller ships that actually come this way. That's actually why we picked this cruise. But the Dominican Republic, man, this this place was amazing.

[00:07:17]There it goes, the Dominican Republic.

[00:07:21]>> Lucas, did they blow the horn?

[00:07:24]We don't have sand.

[00:07:25]>> Shh.

[00:07:30]So, I'm being told that these are the engines of a ship that once sunk here.

[00:07:37]Now, whether or not that is true, I mean, you guys could I could probably cool with this later.

[00:07:43]But if so, that is super interesting.

[00:07:50]It's a very shallow harbor.

[00:07:52]So, I only smaller ships can actually make their way through.

[00:07:57]We're still still stirring up the bottom too a little bit.

[00:08:06]Here's one last pan of land for the two days at sea.

[00:08:15]I mean, it it does kind of look like an engine block a little bit.

[00:08:25]Imagine though, it's got to be super shallow.

[00:08:34]But anyway, let me know what you guys think down below. And if you haven't done so yet, please subscribe, turn on the notifications, and give this video a thumbs up.
