Catalina Island is a longish boat ride from the Bayahibe area, maybe 30 minutes but many people consider it one of the highlights of their week. There is a true wall on the north side of the island, dropping from 15 to 130 feet. The shallow reef flat is rich with pillar and boulder corals, while the drop-off is filter feeder heaven, with black coral, vase sponge and large elephant ears. On the south side is a shallow reef known as the Aquarium. Here, pillar corals rule, and schooling grunts hide in coral recesses.
The Island is just a 45-minute boat ride from La Romana or Bayahibe in the Dominican Republic. Cruise ships dock directly at the small island of Catalina.
The Catalina island is so uninhabited and clean of any pollutants that all traveling is done on foot. The Catalina Island or Isla Catalina is an uninhabited tropical island located 1.5 miles from the mainland on the south-east corner of the Dominican Republic, near La Romana Province.

| Specific Info/Considerations |
The island itself is only 9.6 square kilometers in size, and is a diverse preservation of eco-systems including sand dunes, mangroves, and reefs. Formed out of coral stone, the island contains three overlapping plateaus. The highest elevation on the island is only 60 feet above sea level. The seas around the Island are rich in wildlife, with many species of birds and tropical marine fish, and there are large areas where natural sandbars offshore bring the depth to just a few feet.
