More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto a low-slung catamaran as the palms of Punta Cana slide past like a green rim against pale sand. The deck hums with a DJ, laughter and the clink of glasses; ahead, the reef-stippled water widens into an aquarium-blue corridor. This private cruise threads along Bávaro’s palm-fringed shoreline, drops anchor at ringed coral gardens and eases into a natural pool where waist-deep water warms under the sun.
