Things to do and places of interest in Punta Cana
With nearby beaches fronting both the Atlantic ocean and the Caribbean sea, Punta Cana is for those who love the surf, sand and sun. With resorts lined up and down the beaches, you’re never lacking for entertainment. Here are a few ideas for your sunny getaway.
- Get your toes in the sand on Bavaro Beach, where you’ll find 6 miles of sandy beach and nearby amenities such as bars, restaurants and shopping. The people-watching here is always interesting too!
- Visit the Isla Saona, which is a government protected nature reserve, so the white sand beaches and palm trees are unspoiled by tourist trappings. Many resorts offer excursions here, with ferry tickets and a meal to go.
- If you need a break from the beach, take a Super Truck Safari. See the countryside from atop one of these gigantic vehicles, stopping to visit school children (depending on the time of year) and see the church of Our Lady of La Altagracia. On this excursion you’ll also enjoy a horseback ride and an authentic Dominican lunch.
- For the adventurous, try zip lining. The Zip line Canopy tour will have you sliding down 15 platforms and 8 cable lines at treetop height across beautiful open valleys, culminating in a ride on a 2,500-foot cable. That’s about 7 blocks long!
- Enjoy a catamaran snorkeling tour. Hispaniola Aquatic Tours gives private and semi-private four-hour catamaran excursions to famous local dive sites. Your day will include drinks, a meal, transport to and from your hotel, snorkeling equipment and professional photos so you can remember your experience.
- Explore the Hoyo Azul (blue hole) in Scape Park, a natural sinkhole filled with crystal-clear water. This spectacular lagoon sits at the foot of a 200-foot high cliff, and the turquoise waters have a depth of over 120 feet at their deepest.
Tips and tricks for visiting Punta Cana
When you visit the Dominican Republic, you are required to purchase a tourist card for $10.00 USD. You can do so at the airport after you land, but there is often a long line of tourists doing the same thing. You can save yourself some time by purchasing your card online before you come.
If you plan to stay within the resort area, as many visitors do, there is no need to convert your US dollars into pesos. Almost everyone happily accepts US dollars as payment, including tips and excursions. It’s a good idea to bring a bunch of small bills, for convenience when tipping and buying small items.
The Dominican Republic is economically disadvantaged, so theft can be a problem. Use common sense and be observant outside of the resort area. Don’t expect your valuables to be safe within a locked vehicle.
