The engine thumps, spray salts the air and turquoise water stretches like a dare to the horizon as you take the wheel of your speedboat off Punta Cana. You’ll cut through open Caribbean swell, skirts of foam flashing at the bow, before the guide eases the boat toward shallow coral heads where a natural pool waits — calm, warm, and ringed by reef.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

If you’re prone to motion sickness, take preventive medication before departure and sit toward the center of the boat for a smoother ride.
