Punta Cana Boat Party with Snorkeling & Sandbar: Onboard water slideThis four-hour boat cruise in Punta Cana combines snorkeling at coral reefs, a scenic pass by Dolphin Island, and time at the Sandbar—a natural pool in three-foot-deep turquoise water where you swim, float and dance.

Minimum age is 15.Is it for me?The boat moves between three stops over four hours, so you're in the water and at the Sandbar for most of the day rather than sitting still—if you want a party that keeps moving and includes actual snorkeling and swimming, not just floating on a deck, this one delivers both.
