Operated by Wild On · Punta Cana, La Altagracia
The catamaran slips away from Marina Punta Cana with the hull humming and trade winds lifting the sails; salt air presses against your skin and the sea spreads a flat, glassy blue that dares you to dive in.
First stop is the Ojos Indígenas Ecological Reserve, where a clear freshwater spring waits under a canopy of tropical foliage. The water is cool and buoyant, framed by limestone edges formed over thousands of years of karst activity. From there the boat follows the Punta Cana Yacht Club coastline for a short coastal run—reef ridges rise just below the surface, where parrotfish and sergeant majors flick through branching coral during your snorkel.
This route blends natural history and local culture: the reserve conserves lagoons once familiar to Taíno communities, while the coastline reflects the island’s coral-building geology and decades of small-scale fishing and marina development.
Practical notes: the full experience runs roughly four hours with about 45 minutes at the spring and three hours at sea. Snorkel gear is provided and life vests are required; expect gentle to moderate chop and water temperatures in the mid-20s°C (mid-70s°F). Guides will direct entry to a private natural sea pool—shallow, buoyant, and protected by a reef barrier—perfect for a relaxed swim.
Pack reef-safe sunscreen, a towel, and a dry bag. Hydrate before boarding, listen to the crew’s safety briefing, and avoid touching coral or feeding fish—this trip rewards curiosity tempered with care.
