You’ll get to snorkel among tropical fish, party on a lively catamaran with drinks flowing, and relax at Bavaro Beach—all with guides who know their stuff and keep things fun and safe. Perfect mix of adventure and chill time in Punta Cana.
The first thing that hit me was the salty breeze—warm, but not too heavy. We met our guide right by the palm trees on Bavaro Beach, where the sand squeaks under your feet. He handed out wristbands and cracked a joke about how nobody ever remembers sunscreen until it’s too late. The catamaran was already thumping with music—reggaeton, mostly—and you could smell coconut oil in the air from other travelers getting ready for the day.
Once we got going, the coastline just slid by—colorful boats bobbing near shore, pelicans eyeing us from above. Our guide pointed out a patch of reef where we’d be snorkeling soon. I’ll admit, I was nervous about jumping in, but the water’s so clear you can see flashes of yellow and blue fish before you even put your mask on. After swimming around for a bit (and laughing at my friend who kept fogging up his goggles), we climbed back up for drinks—rum punch if you want it, or just cold soda.
Later on, they anchored in waist-high water for what they call the “floating bar.” It’s exactly what it sounds like: everyone wades around with drinks in hand while music plays from the boat. There’s always someone who starts dancing first—usually one of the crew—and before long half of us joined in. If you’re with a group, they’ll set up private options too. Transfers to and from hotels make things easy; no stress about finding your way back after all that sun.
The activities are generally suitable for most ages and fitness levels, but it’s not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with heart issues.
Yes, round-trip hotel transfers are part of the package for convenience.
I’d suggest sunscreen, swimsuit, towel, and maybe some cash for tips or souvenirs.
You can still enjoy most of the tour! Life jackets are provided during snorkeling and there’s always staff nearby to help out.
Your spot covers all snorkeling gear, soft drinks, bottled water, alcoholic beverages (if you want them), plus an experienced local guide. The ride is air-conditioned when needed. Service animals are welcome too!
