The salty wind cuts through music as the catamaran eases away from shore—palm-lined beaches shrinking into a band of turquoise. On this private four‑hour cruise out of Punta Cana, the reef at Cabeza de Toro is the first stage: clear water, shoals darting around coral heads, and guides who lead safe, close-up snorkeling along a living reef.
