Pickup is included; the boat holds a small group and the vibe runs high the whole time. Minimum age 18.Is it for me?The pace is high-energy and nonstop — you're dancing, swimming and drinking for three straight hours with no downtime, so it's built for someone who came to move and party, not to sit and watch. The boat is adults only, which means the vibe stays exactly what you signed up for.

Snorkeling in Punta Cana: Catamaran with Natural PoolSnorkeling in Punta Cana combines reef diving at Bavaro Beach with a catamaran party cruise to the Natural Pool, a shallow lagoon where the bartender serves drinks waist-deep.

Snorkeling depth runs 2 to 4 meters; the boat is a spacious double-deck catamaran with music and dancing between stops.Is it for me?The boat moves between three stops — the reef, the open water bar, and the Natural Pool — so you're in and out of the water several times; if you want to stay dry and watch, this is not the right fit. The party atmosphere and open bar are central to the day, so it suits groups and couples looking to celebrate, not a quiet snorkeling-focused outing.

The adults-only setting and the catamaran size mean the party stays high-energy without feeling crowded, which is what makes the sand bar finale work.
