Set sail from Bavaro on a private catamaran for snorkeling, a natural pool stop and a beachfront BBQ lunch. This 3-hour Punta Cana cruise blends reef swims, open-bar cocktails and a private-beach touchdown for a relaxed, all-inclusive sea day.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The catamaran slips away from Bavaro’s shoreline and the Caribbean opens like a road of glass — turquoise broad enough to make you slow your breath. On a private cruise out of Punta Cana, the sun runs along the rail while the crew trims sails and sets a playlist; you’re on your own clock now, moving between a shallow natural pool, a lively reef and a quiet private beach.
