Transport from your hotel is included, and the tour works for most fitness levels — just not if you have spinal issues or are pregnant. Book if you want to see the inland side of Punta Cana without arranging your own transport or worrying about timing.Is it for me?Book this if you want to ride inland and see how Punta Cana looks beyond the resorts without arranging your own transport or timing — the ATV does the navigating, and the cave and beach stops break up the ride so it doesn't feel like just driving around.

Snorkeling in Punta Cana: Party Boat with Open BarSnorkel a coral reef off Punta Cana on a party boat with live DJ, open bar, and a natural pool stop, all in one afternoon. The boat picks you up from your hotel, carries a guide in English, Spanish, Italian or French, and serves cocktails, beer, juice and snacks throughout the 3.5-hour outing. Adults only (18+); suitable for all fitness levels.Is it for me?The boat moves between snorkeling, swimming and dancing without downtime, so you're in the water or in motion the whole time—book this if you want an active afternoon, not a relaxed float.
Punta Cana: Jungle Buggies, Monkeyland & Anamuya River LunchYou’ll drive your own jungle buggie through muddy Punta Cana trails, swim in the cool Anamuya river, taste fresh coconut at Casa del Coco, and meet cheeky squirrel monkeys at Monkeyland.

ATV Adventure Punta Cana: Ride, Cave Swim & Macao BeachThis half-day ATV adventure from Punta Cana combines four different activities: a guided ride through forest and gardens on a powerful all-terrain vehicle, a tasting stop at a local organic farm, a swim in a 25-foot natural water cave, and time to relax at Macao Beach.

Choose the private ATV option if you prefer to ride alone; the shared option works if you're comfortable splitting a vehicle with a travel companion.

The group stays small and the route avoids the typical tourist paths.Is it for me?Book single occupancy if you want your own ATV and full control of the ride; choose double occupancy to share the cost and the experience with a travel partner. Either way, the small-group size and the off-road route mean you're not following the crowds—you're riding to places most visitors in Punta Cana never see.

Damajagua waterfalls shore excursion: 7 or 12 falls from Amber CoveYou get picked up at the cruise terminal, hike through jungle to Damajagua Waterfalls, then jump, slide and swim back down through 7 or 12 falls depending on river conditions and your ship's port time.
