The cruises compared here
All three are full-day trips with hotel pickup, a bus or minibus plus a boat, and buffet lunch with drinks. What differs is the price, one extra stop and how strict the cancellation is.
Starting prices are per adult, checked on 13 October 2026. Civitatis describes none of the boats, so the comparison rests on what each listing includes.
1Price, length and what is included
The catamaran starts at € 70.79 and lasts 9 hours. It lists a minibus, a catamaran and a motorboat, buffet lunch and an open bar with rum, beer and soft drinks.
The beach tour starts at € 85.13 and lasts 8 hours. It lists a boat ride, buffet lunch with drinks and admission to Cotubanamá National Park. The Chavón trip starts at € 98.57, lasts 9 hours and adds a boat ride on the Chavón River, admission to Altos de Chavón and a snorkel mask, but not the snorkel tube.
2Reviews and cancellation
The catamaran is rated 7.9 from 2,300 reviews, the beach tour 9.1 from 1,018 and the Chavón trip 8.8 from 708. The beach tour has the best score, the catamaran the biggest base.
The catamaran and the Chavón trip cancel free up to 24 hours before. The beach tour needs 3 days, refunds 50% at 48 hours and nothing after that.
3Which one to pick
Pick the catamaran if price and the open bar matter and you are happy with a 7.9 score. Pick the beach tour if you want the highest-rated trip, the shortest day and park admission in the price, and you can commit 3 days ahead.
Pick the Chavón trip only if Altos de Chavón is on your list. It is the most expensive, and pickup near Casa de Campo adds 70 USD per person.
