(Azzurro Club Cabarete beach) ?
Cabarete snorkeling is poor, Sosua is fair to good and that mangrove/Rio SanJuan tour by Northern Coast dive Center is more like "world class"marina said:snorkeling sucks in CAbarete because it is usually windy there i.e. no visibility. I would contact Northern Coast Diving and do their mangrove snorkel. Clients have been very happy with it. Sosua is pretty boring for snorkeling too but at least it's clear.
What about other snorkeling tours organized by El tour - Samana, Playa Grande or Paradise Island ?Rocky said:Cabarete snorkeling is poor, Sosua is fair to good and that mangrove/Rio SanJuan tour by Northern Coast dive Center is more like "world class"

Thanks for your reply. I am aware of the distance you have to go on these tours (the are day tours)FireGuy said:Samana seems an excessive distance to go to simply snorkle IMHO. To get to Playa Grande you have to pass Rio San Juan where an excellent site exists (with Northern Coast Diving). Paradise Island is reputed to be excellent but from Cabarete you are looking at a minimum of 2.5 hours each way.
If you want to go on the cheap simply take the free transport to Sosua Bay Club and snorkle at Playa Sosua, otherwise book the RSJ trip at www.northerncoastdiving.com if you prefer the best available within a reasonable distance.
