What to do in Punta Cana: the excursions you can't miss

Islands, adventure, nature and culture: the excursions our guests book most in Punta Cana and Bávaro.

Catamarán del Party Boat en la costa de Bávaro

Punta Cana is much more than beach and hotel. From Bávaro you can head out to islands, drive a buggy through the countryside, swim with dolphins or visit the oldest city in the Americas. These are the excursions our guests book most.

Islands and sea

  • Saona Island: white-sand beaches and the Natural Pool with starfish.
  • Catalina Island: snorkeling at La Pared reef and a quiet beach.
  • Party Boat: catamaran party with open bar, snorkeling and natural pool.
  • Speed Boat: drive your own speedboat along the coast.
  • Swim with dolphins: 50 minutes in the water with the dolphins.

Adventure

  • Buggy and ATV: Dominican countryside, Macao beach and a swim in a cave.
  • DOMITAI Park: buggy, zipline, horseback riding and a cenote in one day.
  • Zipline: ziplines over the jungle.
  • Parasailing: fly by parachute over Bávaro beach.

Nature and culture

  • Samaná: El Limón waterfall on horseback and Cayo Levantado.
  • Los Haitises: catamaran through the mangroves and Taíno caves.
  • Santo Domingo city tour: Los 3 Ojos and the Colonial Zone.

A tip for planning your days

Save the full-day excursions, such as Saona, Samaná, Los Haitises or Santo Domingo, for the first days of your trip, when you have more energy, and the half-day ones for the end.

We pick up all our guests in the Bávaro / Punta Cana hotel zone.
