Destination Punta Cana: Adventures and Excursions

Everyone loves to relax on vacation, but we’ll be the first to tell you that relaxation is a loose term. Sure, relaxing might mean laying on a pool float with a drink in your hand, but you can also relax with dozens of other fun and exciting excursions. Let your troubles fade away on one of dozens of options. Amstar in Punta Cana has a host of options to choose from, and this blog post will break down some of the categories.

Are you an ocean lover? These excursions will get out onto the beautiful sea, either skimming on top of it or exploring beneath it. 

• Bavaro Splash Speed Boat Tour
  Want a true James Bond experience? Rent your very own two passenger speedboat and cruise down the coastline at exhilarating speeds. The boats are easy to handle and fun to ride, and you’ll finish your tour with a guided snorkeling tour of the reef. 
• Marinarium Shark Encounter

Hit the surf on a glass-bottom catamaran and see sharks and other wildlife up close and in person as you enjoy the beautiful scenery. Then plunge in yourself and have a swim with sharks and stingrays in the Caribbean.  

Want to get into the forest and do some adventuring and sightseeing? Say no more!

• Zip Lining

This activity is a classic for a reason. Enjoy a beautiful view of the jungle as you zip from platform to platform, seeing the coastline and the tree line at once. 

• Monkey Land

True to its name, this nature park brings tourists in contact with friendly squirrel monkeys. Enjoy feeding and visiting these social creatures, who are used to human contact and totally adorable. 

If you want to experience the Caribbean’s amazing culture and history, there are excursions for that, too!

• Santo Domingo City Tour
  

There’s more to Punta Cana than just tourism! The historic and vibrant city of Santo Domingo has much to offer in the way of food, museums, and culture. You’ll see Christopher Columbus’ lighthouse, the city’s first cathedral, and experience historic Santo Domingo architecture. 

• Dominican Flavors
  

This overview of the Dominican Republic’s rich culture is a half day experience that offers a glimpse at what makes the country so special. You get to see the beautiful countryside and even visit a typical Dominican home. 

And of course, we couldn’t neglect activities for the island’s visiting couples.

• Saona Island VIP Tour
  

Take tour of the coast on a beautiful catamaran, swim in a natural swimming pool, and enjoy your partner’s company on a white sand beach. Enjoy custom drinks, a luxury beach club, and a delicious lunch by the water. 

• Side by Side Adventure 

A true adventure for two, you’ll strap into a high powered ATV and set off on a journey through the jungle, and drive until you reach the beautiful Playa Blanca for some well earned rest and relaxation. Instructions and training provided, of course. We recommend this one for the adventurous couple!

And there you have it! Some of the coolest excursions on Punta Cana.
