Day Trip Details

At the time of your choice, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Punta Cana and set off to the coast for our unique Caribbean experience. We'll soon arrive and board the Reef Explorer, a floating island surrounded by coral reefs and a multitude of marine species.

Once on the islet, you'll be able to choose your own adventure. Looking for adrenaline? You can snorkel amongst the colourful corals and swim alongside the sharks and manta rays that cohabit with the other tropical fish!

To continue exploring the Caribbean and admiring the spectacular coastal views, you can also take part in a kayaking, paddleboarding, or embark on an aquabike adventure. If you prefer technology, you can use our viewing tables or motorized surface diving equipment in true James Bond style.

If you'd like to relax, the Reef Explorer has many wellbeing activities. You can enjoy a Tibetan head, neck, and shoulder therapy, a wood therapy session, hand reflexology with acupressure, or foot reflexology. If you just want to relax, hammocks and floating mats under the Caribbean sun will be waiting for you.

During the experience, you'll have access to the bar, where you can enjoy natural juices, along with a selection of vegetables and sandwiches

The tour will end by dropping you off at your hotel after 3.5 hours of tropical adventure.
