Things to do in  Punta Cana

Leo was our tour guide and he did a fantastic job of giving us the necessary historical information about Santo Domingo. He translated both in English and Spanish effortlessly. He ensured everyone was safe and having a good time. I strongly recommend this activity even though the travel time between Punta Cana to the capital was long.

This tour is fun but be prepared for long day. The trip starts with long bus ride to port city on main land then you take a boat to the inland of Samana with beautiful view but you do not get long time here to take photos or walk around, because you load straight to a safari style bus to waterfall Limon. This ride has some great mountain views. Then you get to farm to get on horse with individual walking guide but the ride is very muddy, bumpy and steep. Then you get off horse and take 300 steps down to very very overcrowded base of the waterfall. This is where you can try taking photos, cliff jump in base pool of waterfall, then you get to transport back to the farm the original way. After that you be taking safari bus to the boat to take you to Cayo Inland with beautiful ocean water. After all this you have boat ride back to pier and long long bus ride to hotels in Bravo/ Punta Cana area. The whole time tour guide only said anything is when we got to each stop regards what we doing and how long we staying. The whole day you get sandwich with fruit in morning, later very simple buffet lunch and lots of rum. There was only music playing on boat due to one tourist brought beats portable speaker. This is fun tour but very very long.

We booked this day out on our 10th anniversary. Everything was perfect! The port is about an hour from Punta Cana, which we drove to in our rental car. There was ample parking there. Our english speaking host met us at the boat, and made sure everything was good before we departed on our trip with our awesome captain Jose and his first mate. Although they didn't speak English, it was no problem since I speak enough to get by, and they were able to communicate more than effectively. They made sure every detail was attended to, kept the drinks flowing, and took us to some amazing spots. They took photos for us, showed us turtles and starfish, and tailored the day to whatever we wanted! Lunch was served a la carte at a small restaurant on Saona Island. The lobster was 1750 pesos and the shrimp was 1050. Throughout the day, we passed so many packed catamarans where there were zero covid precautions happening. We were SO glad to be on a private boat. We finished the day with a champagne toast and farewells. I highly recommend this trip for anyone who wants personalized service and to avoid crowds. Will definitely book again next time we are in the Dominican Republic!

This was the most fun and rewarding experience I had during my stay in Punta Cana. Patricio and Roberto were excellent, and I highly recommend adding the zip lining. It was a very personalized tour, and I enjoyed this little diversion from beach activities. The countryside and mountain areas were beautiful, and the guides were exceptional.

Nice ride from Punta Cana airport to our resort in LaRomona. Got to see some of the culture here. The driver was excellent.

I reserved transportation RT from the Punta Cana airport to our resort. The ride was fast, comfortable, and I’m so glad they got me an English speaking driver! I will definitely use this service next time. Our driver came with a sign showing my husband’s name. Easy to locate.

This was SO FUN! The tour guide and entire staff was so helpful and patient. I saw several people zip-lining off the highways while driving to Punta Cana but this tour takes you up the mountain so you get to see spectacular views you won't see any other way. First time zipling and would 100% go again!

Great tour, very personal with a one on one feeling, tour guide is very knowledgeable and his English is really good too. The driver is excellent also. The tour covered alot of things that goes on in Punta Cana.

Amazing Experience! I believe it was the best activity we did in Punta Cana. Especially the Water Cave and the Zenote are activities I highly recommend!

It was the highlight of our trip to Punta Cana. The trip was as advertised. Tour guides and team really make sure that you are comfortable and get the best experience. It was well organized and be prepared for a long day with snacks/water especially if you are going with kids.

If you are staying in Punta Cana for all your stay in DR its a great trip to see something different and a historic capital. It also gives you an opportunity to see the countryside along the 3 hour trip there.

Highly recommend. Everyone was super friendly and lots of fun. Great way to see some of the sights around the Punta Cana area.

This was the best 5 hours spent of our 5 day trip to Punta Cana. After all of the activities, they took us to a remote location and danced and partied with us until it was time to go. Transportation was provided and prompt. Definitely a must do in Punta Cana!

We had an amazing time on this excursion. The crew was very friendly and got involved in the activities with the guest which made it even more fun. They made sure we were comfortable with the activities we were doing (especially w/ sharks). Will definitely reccomend to others traveling to Punta Cana

There were 9 people and we had a VIP tour and that was so much fun! I highly recommend that you bring goggles or sunglasses and a bandanna! It can be very dusty! Overall, the experience was amazing! The tour was just as described online and the dip in the spring was very refreshing! I recommend this to anyone traveling to Punta Cana.

Overall, parasailing was very fun. You get to see some beautiful views of Punta Cana. Only thing I wish was that they explained the process before they send you up. They just suit you up and send you off.

This is a most professional company. Glen stays in close contact to keep the traveler up to date. He was waiting at the airport with a personalized sign and warmly greeted us, walked us to his driver, and sent us to the resort. Very good driving and the driver was talkative to us. The day of pickup from the resort- he confirmed our time for pick up and flight information. He was punctual and friendly- very talkative about the vacation and the area of Punta Cana. He also can arrange excursions or other activities without being pushy. And the prices for travel and excursions is very fair. Next time we will definitely use his service again.

This was our first time to Punta Cana , Dominican republic. We selected this excursion since it included so much in one day. We wanted to experience as much as we could on our honeymoon. We were picked up at 7am from our resort , driven to the Hard Rock resort transferred to another bus that included people from the surrounding resorts . There we met our driver Billy and tour guide Nacho . Billy made sure we all felt welcome and like family during the entire day , with his friendly and contagious laughter . We took about a 2 hour bus ride though the country side were we made a stop at the local store we're it is recommended to buy souvenirs there since the money goes directly to the locals . They will offer you deal the more you buy . When you get off the bus you are offered either a small cup of coffee, hot coco or mama juana ( a local specialty drink made either with rum or sometimes red wine). After this stop you continue until you reach a small Beach town where you take a short ferry ride to samana. During this time you are offered unlimited rum and beverages. Once the boar arrived you take a safari truck ride up the mountain. Upon your arrival you take a horse ride down the mountain guide by a tour . Along the way you get to experience the beautiful nature around you, you do have to walk down stairs to get to the waterfall . Once there there will be guys walking around with native birds you may take photos with (they have professional cameras but you can have your guide take them on your phone.) You get free time to explore the waterfall and swim.They will take photos for you but remember you will have to pay for the USB or dvd at the end . I would recommend carrying about 70-100 cash in USD if you are able for the whole day. They depend heavily on tips and are greatly appreciated, which they work hard to ear. After walking and talking your horse ride back you are offered a lunch buffet with local dishes. After taking the ride back down the mountain you board the boat to go to barcardi island which you get to relax or explore for the hour and a half. Again the boat rides offer unlimited drinks so take advantage. After the boat ride back to the other side of the island you begin your trip back . I've never seen so many grown ups passed out , it was quite a day of adventure. You still get to stop at the local shop on the way back so I'd you want to purchase anything and not want to carry it around tell them to save it for you. Note that if you are staying in punta Cana you have about a 45 minutes drive back from the meeting point . It is about a 10 hour day so tip the driver and tour guide well ! Request Nacho and Billy !! They made the trip . Overall we had a great time, the people are very welcoming and as they said enjoy your self family no one knows you here your on Vacation!!

I was traveling on my own with my two kids, four and 10 years old. We spent a week in Punta Cana and did a lot of really fun things. The monkey land and plantation tour excursion was our favorite. The guys were incredible, including our driver, the monkeys were fantastic and so adorable. But the tour was also really fun and informative. And my kids and I loved seeing the little towns and villages on the way to the plantation. I feel like it gave us the best flavor of living in the DR. Highly recommended. Five stars all around.

This was a great trip. The driver picked us up on time and we enjoyed a beautiful drive to Santo Domingo from Punta Cana 2 hours. The driver was very friendly and a safe driver. The SUV was extremely comfortable...every time we zipped past a packed van or bus load of people I thought this was worth every penny! In Santo Domingo we were greeted by our local tour guide. Ishmial spent the entire day with us as we walked though many areas of the city. We say many churches and historical buildings in the colonial zone. At the end of our city tour, Ishmial askl the drive to depart the city so we could see other regions of the area. If you are a group of 3 or 4 this is a great deal...don't even think about a bus or group tour. We could have paid far less to see the city, but when my wife turned to me at the end of the day and told me this was awesome I was very glad we did this private tour,
