Sail a new catamaran along Punta Cana’s coast to swim crystal-clear freshwater 'ojos,' snorkel a protected reef, and relax in Playa Blanca’s natural pool. This accessible half-day cruise pairs calm snorkeling with short shore stops for a hands-on look at local ecosystems.

The catamaran slips away from the marina and the coastline of Punta Cana slides past — white resort rooftops giving way to reef-edged turquoise. Salt air and the low thrum of the engines set a steady rhythm as the crew points toward a dense green pocket: the Ojos Indígenas. Here you climb down into a clear freshwater ojo and the water holds you like glass.
