The 15 Best Punta Cana Excursions, Compared

1,012 reviewed

Punta Cana is where most Dominican trips are based, and the excursion menu is huge. These are the standouts: the Saona boats, the buggy-and-cave combos, the catamaran cruises and the capital day trips. Each one is priced, with the group size and pickup noted, so you can fill a week without overlapping the same beach twice.

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 4,500 reviews · from $95

Full-day Santo Domingo tour from Punta Cana: guided colonial sights, Catedral Santa Maria la Menor, Dominican lunch, pickup included.

“Great trip and tour guide. The restaurant food was delicious and going to the souvenir store was great. Wish there were more stops in person to take pictures instead of doing stops inside the bus. Also wish the buses had an indoor restroom since it is a long drive. Other than that I would recommend anyone to do this excursion if you enjoy history! Darius our tour guide and driver were great!”

4.Catamaran Boat to Saona Island with Buffet Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 3,822 reviews · 8 hours · from $82

Speedboat to Saona Island, starfish at the natural pool, catamaran party ride home, plus a Dominican buffet lunch and open bar.

“Alex and Juan were very friendly and helpful guides. The transportation was okay; it took about 1.5 hours due to stops at different meeting points. The swimming stop was enjoyable. There were photographers taking photos during the tour, but the prices were very expensive, so I wouldn’t recommend buying them. The island was beautiful, and the food was acceptable. The return to the hotel was a bit tiring because of the catamaran trip and the multiple bus stops. Overall, I was happy with the tour and would recommend it to anyone who wants to see the island.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,040 reviews · from $15Best value

Private Punta Cana airport transfers by air-conditioned vehicle. Skip taxi lines, pick the right zone, and ride comfortably to hotels in minutes.

“Driver showed up about 45 minutes late to the lobby. Did not have an excuse, he act like he was on a time. If I ever use them again, I will schedule them to come an hour and a half early. Pick up was for 11 AM for a 2:30 PMdeparture. We got to the airport almost 1 o’clock. After checking bags going through security going through the terminals we have probably about 20 minutes before it was boarding time. So if I had an 11 o’clock pick up time again, I was scheduled it for 930 to get him an hour and a half to be on time.”
