Jungle Buggies & Ziplining from Punta Cana: 12 ziplinesThis 8-hour activity from Punta Cana combines ziplining and off-road buggy driving in the Anamuya Mountains, with a swim in the river and Dominican lunch in between. You'll zip across 12 lines spanning 18 platforms above the rainforest, then drive your own buggy on a cross-country route after the meal. Roundtrip hotel pickup is included; drivers must be at least 18 with a valid license, and children under 12 stay in the reception area after cable 8 on the zipline circuit for safety reasons.Is it for me?Book this if you want to drive the buggy yourself rather than ride as a passenger, and if you're comfortable with eight hours of back-to-back activity—the zipline course, lunch, river time and off-road driving all happen in one day. If you're 18 or older with a valid driver's license, you'll handle the buggy portion; younger travelers and non-drivers still zipline and swim but sit out the driving section.
Private Airport Transfer with Local Driver & WiFi IncludedYou’ll skip taxi lines and start your trip stress-free with a local driver waiting at arrivals. Enjoy free WiFi, accessible transport, and friendly help from someone who knows the city.
Punta Cana Hotel Transfer: Private Door-to-Door & WiFiYou get a private vehicle with a named driver who meets you at your hotel with your reservation on a tablet. The car is modern, air-conditioned, and stocked with cold drinks and WiFi; infant seats are free if you need them. No shared stops, no waiting for other passengers, no surprises on the bill — the price is set when you book online.Is it for me?Book this if you want to skip the shuttle-van lineup and the uncertainty of shared pickups — a private vehicle with a set price means you know exactly what you're paying and when you'll arrive, which takes the negotiation and the wait out of getting from your hotel to the airport or anywhere else in Punta Cana.
Private Santo Domingo City Tour: Colonial Zone & MalecónA private full-day tour of Santo Domingo led by a professional art historian guide, covering the Colonial Zone's 16th-century landmarks, the Malecón waterfront and Columbus Lighthouse. Hotel pickup and drop-off, lunch, bottled water and light refreshments are included; the guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French and one additional language.Is it for me?Choose the full-day tour to see the Colonial Zone's oldest landmarks plus the Malecón and Columbus Lighthouse; pick the half-day if you want to focus only on the Colonial Zone's walking streets.
Punta Cana Snorkeling Catamaran with Hookah DivingA half-day catamaran party cruise from Punta Cana with snorkeling, hookah diving and parasailing off Bávaro Beach, plus an open bar and fruits on board. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, along with all equipment and a professional guide in your language. The natural pool party brings together boats from other excursions, and a photographer documents the day.Is it for me?Book the morning departure if you want the water calm and the sun lower in the sky for snorkeling and diving; the afternoon option works better if you prefer to sleep in and don't mind stronger midday heat on the water. Either way, the three-hour window keeps all the activities—snorkeling, hookah diving, parasailing and the natural pool party—inside one outing without rushing or cutting any of them short.
Santo Domingo Airport to Sosua Taxi: Private, Safe & Fast TransferYou’ll land in Santo Domingo knowing your private taxi transfer is set—local driver meeting you at arrivals, comfy ride with AC and WiFi all the way to Sosua. There’s no haggling or stress; just easy pickup, help with luggage, and those small human touches that make travel feel less anonymous.
Punta Cana cultural tour & Macao Beach: 5 stops in one dayYou spend the day moving between five different experiences: a historic basilica in Higuey, a cigar factory where you roll your own, a cacao plantation where you taste chocolate at the source, a family lunch and village walk in the countryside, and finally Macao Beach. Transport, all entry fees, lunch and drinks are included; the pace is steady but not rushed, and you're back by evening.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see how Dominicans actually live and work — the farms, the homes, the local food — without spending the day arranging separate visits and transport. The fixed itinerary and included lunch mean you move through five different experiences in one day without stopping to figure out what comes next or negotiate prices along the way.
Snorkeling in Punta Cana: Hookah Diving, Catamaran & Natural PoolA four-hour catamaran snorkeling and hookah diving activity in Punta Cana with hotel pickup, expert instruction, drinks and a party at the Natural Pool. No diving certification is required; hookah diving lets you breathe underwater without the tank and training of scuba. The catamaran includes snorkeling gear, life jackets, nachos and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks; children from age 6 are welcome.Is it for me?Book this if you're looking for a half-day activity that combines water time with a social atmosphere—the catamaran handles all the logistics and instruction, so you're not arranging transport, gear or a guide separately. It works well for families with children from 6 up, mixed groups with different comfort levels in the water, or anyone wanting snorkeling and diving without the commitment of certification classes.
Snorkeling Catalina Island from La Romana: Reef and merengueSnorkel Catalina Island and Bayahibe's coral reefs on a day trip from La Romana with round-trip transport, professional guide, lunch and merengue and bachata lessons. The itinerary stacks two reef stops before noon, so you're back on the boat with drinks and dancing while the afternoon is still young. Pickup from Punta Cana and Bayahibe hotels is included; infants sit on an adult's lap.Is it for me?The guide speaks your language — English, Spanish, Italian, French or two others — so you follow the reef and the dancing without translation delays. Book this if you want snorkeling at two different reefs in one morning and don't mind learning merengue on a boat afterward.
Santo Domingo to Pedernales: Private Transfer Up to 15 PeopleYou get picked up from your Santo Domingo hotel or airport and driven to Pedernales in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle with lunch included along the way. The rate stays the same whether you're traveling alone or with up to fifteen people, so group travel becomes affordable. The driver is experienced, the vehicle is maintained, and the three-hour route is handled without negotiation or surprises.Is it for me?Right choice if you're moving a group from Santo Domingo to the south coast and want the price locked in before you arrive. The flat rate means solo travelers aren't subsidizing empty seats, and groups aren't splitting a negotiated fare—everyone pays the same regardless of headcount up to fifteen.
