More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The catamaran eases away from Bavaro’s reef-studded fringe and the coast drops into a wide, bright horizon. On the upper deck the sun presses warm; below, the sea flashes turquoise and asks you to move closer. Music, laughter and the hiss of the engine set the tempo as the double-decker boat heads for a shallow “natural pool” formed by the reef—a waist-deep pocket of calm water where the party spills into the sea.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

Secure footwear for boarding
Non-slip sandals or water shoes make ladder climbs and wet decks safer when getting on and off the catamaran.
Motion-sickness prep
If you’re prone to seasickness, take preventative medication before boarding since the catamaran can roll in swells.
Hydrate and ID check
Bring photo ID for age verification on drinks and drink water between cocktails—sun and alcohol dehydrate quickly at sea.
