Step-by-step itinerary

Punta Cana Private Snorkel Cruise

  • Meet and greet at Bavaro Beach
  • Board catamaran and meet crew
  • Snorkel at Cabeza de Toro Beach
  • Visit private virgin beach Punta de los Nidos
  • Enjoy cocktails and take photos
  • Return cruise with music and dancing
  • Disembark and transfer or walk back

The experience

You meet your guide at Bavaro Beach, board a catamaran and head out along the coast. The first stop is Cabeza de Toro Beach, where you snorkel in water 2 to 4 meters deep among coral reefs and schools of tropical fish. All snorkel gear is provided and sanitized. A professional guide supervises the water time, so you focus on what's below instead of logistics.

After snorkeling, the boat takes you to Punta de los Nidos, a private beach with white sand and coconut palms where you can swim, rest or photograph. The open bar runs the whole time: unlimited national drinks, tropical cocktails mixed at a floating bar, plus fresh snacks and tropical fruit. If locals are nearby, you may get to try fresh coconut water straight from the source.

On the return cruise, the crew and guide keep the energy up with music, games and dancing. Round-trip transfers get you back to your hotel or pickup point, and if you want professional photos from the day, the photographer's prints are on sale at the beach cabin before you leave. If you're celebrating something (a birthday, an anniversary), the operator can arrange cake and decorations on request.

What’s included

  • Round-trip hotel transfers.
  • snorkel gear and flippers on request.
  • unlimited national drinks and tropical cocktails from the floating bar.
  • snacks and tropical fruit.
