“This experience exceeded our expectations! There was only 6 of us total on the catamaran so there was plenty of space to relax & enjoy! The drinks were so good & the whole crew is so nice! I want to do it again if we come back! We saw so many fish, a sting ray & a sea turtle (which they said is rare). The paddle boarding in the sand bar was a fun touch too!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 592 reviews · from $65

Set sail from Playa Bibijagua at 3 pm on an adults-only catamaran party off Punta Cana. The roughly three-hour outing includes round-trip transportation, snorkeling gear, an open bar, fruit and chips, music, and a stop at a natural pool. Expect a social, high-energy cruise, not a quiet sailing trip. The group can reach 130 people, and the music may be loud.

“The actual excursion was a great time! We received a pick up time the morning of the excursion. This was less than desirable but pick up was prompt and transportation was comfortable. We arrived to the shore and shops 30 minutes before the 3p sailing time. We bought drinks at NOVA, there are several souvenir shops but we didn’t really need those. The cruise itself was so fun. Great for groups. Bring a towel if you are going to snorkel or slide. Pack snacks if you need them.”
