★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 707 reviews · from $129

Start with a muddy 4x4 buggy ride through the Dominican countryside, stopping at a local farm, freshwater cenote, and Macao Beach. After a break, board a catamaran from Cabeza de Toro for snorkeling, tropical fish, a sandbank, drinks, and a natural pool. Guides may include Luis, Kitson, Charlie, or Derly.

“This is kind of a mixed review , due to there were a few bumps along the way. The side-by-side’s adventure was fun. Unfortunately, there was not a lot of mud, but we had a good time. I would prefer it if we were in the side-by-side a little longer. But my husband and I enjoyed taking turns driving the side-by-side and the beach they brought us to was beautiful. Note: bring tissue paper if you plan on using the bathroom as there was none there, which made it a little bit difficult lol. The cenote was a lot of fun too. The cool water was very refreshing! And we…”

7.Parasailing, Snorkel Cruise & Virgen Beach from Punta Cana

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 545 reviews · from $159

Spend about four and a half hours above and around Punta Cana’s coast. You’ll parasail from Bávaro Beach, snorkel near a reef, swim in a natural ocean pool, and may see nurse sharks and stingrays. Guides such as Derly and Kitson are praised for keeping the boat lively. Transport, gear, snacks, fruit, and national drinks are included.

“Family of 5 with 3 older teens. We had a blast! Kitson and his crew were very fun. The parasailing was the best part. Sharks were cool to see up close, way larger than I thought. Stingray (singular) was unimpressive. Guy holds it and swims it over your hands and back. Wanna really swim with stingrays, go to the Cayman’s. Snorkeling was cool too, they feed the fish to swarm the area. We had an awesome dance party on the way back. Like some reviews it is a lot of waiting or standing on the boat not doing “activities” but it’s also about the atmosphere, which was very fun.”

A marine biologist introduces the coral project, while guides such as Ramon and Miguelito help children and first-time snorkelers. Hotel pickup, gear, snacks, drinks, and photos are included.

“I have to give this excursion a resounding 10/10! It was informative, fun, entertaining, mesmerizing and completely worth the money spent. Ramon kept everything going smoothly and made sure we were all taken care off. My daughter got a little rash under her arm not sure what from but the ship mates saw that I was concerned and in no time at all came to her aid. After a little cotton swab of white vinegar she was fine, the rash cleared up before we got back to shore. The food was excellent at the floating kitchen. The atmosphere was beyond fun and relaxing on the decks bean bag chairs was…”

“I really had a great time Charlie our tour guide was great and provided a lot of information. The atv’s were fun and exciting the party boat was really fun. Our driver left us and another group behind instead of making us wait for him to return Charlie made sure everyone got back to their resort in one peace!”

Spend about three hours aboard a spacious Punta Cana catamaran with Coastline Catamarans. Snorkel over a fish-filled reef, use the boat slide, swim in a natural pool, visit a beach, and enjoy snacks and an open bar. Crews led by names such as Vanessa, Pablo, Jay, and Enrique are known for lively, attentive service in English and Spanish.

“The bus for the trip was quite small, but the driver was very friendly. The only downside is that the pick-up takes a bit long because the bus stops at every hotel for other passengers. The crew on the boat was very kind and entertaining. We first stopped for snorkelling, then at a beautiful beach, and finally at a natural pool where some vendors try to sell you things. The music on the boat was a bit too loud for my taste, but the drinks were good and the food was nice.”
