“Great experience, we would fully recommend. Also you must do the big zip line, it’s 250 ft high but an amazing experience and not as bad as you’ll think it’ll be.”
David, operator-listing review of Scape Park Entry, Eight Zip Lines
“I had a great time. Sebastian made sure we were taken care of. The catamaran its self was fun. They had drinks that were included and bottles you could pay for. Hookah was also an extra charge.”
SkyGoddess907, operator-listing review of Party Boat, Unlimited Drinks, DJ
“This experience was amazing ! Blackie and Canelo made sure we were engaged and having a good time. We had an issue with the boogie but was resolved with a brand new one quickly. Jump into the cave! It’s amazing. And the beach - wow! Will do again!”
Patricia, operator-listing review of Hidden Cave Swim, Farm Visit
“Jose Carrasco was our driver. He entertained us during the drive with interesting information about the local lifestyle and he was very informative. We enjoyed that a lot. When we got there, we received very good service and treated well. The lobby had local coffee and cocoa as well.”
Christina, operator-listing review of 12-Cable Zipline, Shorter Day

Punta Cana Travel Tours FAQ

Speedboat crossing open water toward a green island coastline under scattered clouds
Are Punta Cana Excursions Worth The Cost?

For most visitors, yes. A Saona catamaran with buffet lunch starts at $71 per person, buggy tours run from $24 per person, and the Monkeyland and zipline combo sits at $130 for a full day out.

How Much Do Excursions Cost In Punta Cana?

From-prices across the 44 tours here run from $24 per person up to $839 for a private catamaran charter. Per person, budget buggy rides cluster between $24 and $65 and Saona day trips span $66 to $169, while the biggest adventure bundle tops out at $209 per group.

What Is The Best Excursion To Do In Punta Cana?

No single winner, but the Adventure Bundle combining Monkeyland, ziplines and buggies is the most-reviewed item here at 4.9 across 13,875 reviews. Beach fans lean toward the small-group Saona trip, also rated 4.9.

Is It Worth Going To Saona Island?

Saona is the headline excursion from Punta Cana, and nine different versions are listed here, which says plenty about demand. Lunch is included across the board, most trips add an open bar, and ratings range from 4.3 to a perfect 5.

How Long Is The Boat Ride To Saona Island?

The crossing itself runs about 20 to 60 minutes by speedboat, or 1 to 2 hours by catamaran, depending on the sea and operator. The crossing itself is only one leg of that day, typically a catamaran out and a speedboat back.

Is It Still Safe To Go On An Excursion In Punta Cana Right Now?

Punta Cana is the country's main resort corridor, and its tours run year-round with hotel pickup as standard. Most safety is activity-level common sense: wear the helmet supplied on buggy routes, follow crew instructions on the water, and pack reef-safe sunscreen for snorkeling.
