The unrivaled beaches of Punta Cana focus on Bavaro, the home of resort vacations in the Dominican Republic.
Most of Punta Cana’s resort hotels cluster around the long stretch of white sand Bavaro Beach (or Playa Bavaro) and its small collection of shopping plazas.
Along with its aquamarine waters and sandy beaches, Bavaro has world-class golf courses and offshore reef diving sites.

Doing what: Punta Cana Day Cruise with Snorkeling
Trip was great. Crew was extremely friendly and involved, most guests were a little reluctant to open up, crew got all involved in having a good time. Cruise was a little close to shore and snorkeling was shallow but it worked. Lunch was simple and seemed to be homemade, it was also very good and perfect for this trip. I highly recommend this trip for a simple yet great time.

Awesome. I am a mid-20s male who went with friends in summer of 2012. Crew were amazing; constantly feeding us booze and helping us with any issues. Snorkeling was for about an hour and half, maybe 2. Rode along the coast for a few hours. Stopped and slid down the biggest inflatable slide I've ever seen (30 - 40 feet high). Stopped in a lagoon to enjoy shallow water + played some games / dance party. All in all, I was very happy with this excursion; a great day spent off the resort. The only negative was maybe having to wake up so early to catch the bus.
