The experience

The water bikes are the centerpiece here. You pedal them yourself through the shallow turquoise waters off the Punta Cana coast, moving at whatever pace feels right. The bikes let you cover more ground than swimming alone and give you a stable platform to spot manta rays and sea turtles in their natural habitat as you go. The water is clear enough that you'll see the marine life without diving deep.

After pedaling, you switch to snorkeling gear and dive into the same waters to see the underwater side: colorful coral reefs and the variety of fish and creatures that live there. The snorkeling equipment is provided, so you just need to show up ready to use it. Once you've had your fill of the water, you come ashore for lunch on the beach: a burger or vegetarian pizza with a soft drink or water, eaten with a view of the coast. There's free time after to rest on the sand or take in the atmosphere.

The whole outing runs about four hours and includes an air-conditioned vehicle to pick you up from your hotel and bring you back. A live guide speaks English or Spanish throughout, so the day is led but you're doing the pedaling and the exploring yourself.
