Bavaro Adventure Park Private Catamaran Tour — Punta Cana Premium Catamaran Cruise
Trade the resort for open water on a private catamaran from Bavaro Adventure Park. Enjoy premium drinks, guided snorkeling over shallow reefs, and a flexible pickup from Punta Cana hotels.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The tour includes snorkeling over coral—use reef-safe sunscreen to protect marine life and avoid oily lotions that cloud water.
Arrive early for transfers
Pickup windows can be up to 60 minutes before departure; be ready 10–15 minutes early at your pickup point to avoid delays.
Secure footwear for boarding
Non-slip water shoes or sandals make climbing onto the catamaran easier and protect feet on wet gangways.
Hydrate and pace cocktails
The open bar is unlimited; drink water between alcoholic beverages and plan for sun exposure on deck.
