Parasailing in Punta Cana with free pick-up

Mario_P, Jul 2026

Our driver was super...

Our driver was super kind. He picked us up at a convenient location near our airbnb and dropped us off at the meet-up location. The transportation boat then dropped us back off at a beach near where we were staying after we got done. Parasailing was super fun and felt safe. The drivers of the boat also took photos of the experience that they offered to sell to us but fortunately they did not pressure us to buy. This is a great activity to do with two people or a small group. We squeezed it in on our last day in DR. Book it!

Punta Cana 3in1 Adventure: Los Haitises Park, Waterfall & Montaña

Lesli_N, Jul 2026

Best part of our trip

10 out of 10, must do! It’s a LONG day and a lot of ‘bumpy’ driving towards the last stop but I am SO glad we did this. Beautiful sites, our favorite part was the lunch in the most amazing spot and the best meal we had the whole trip. (Maybe pack extra snacks bc it was a late lunch). The guides were great, just wish we would’ve known there was a drop off meeting spot so that was confusing but it was well coordinated.

This was such a great experience, 10/10 Happy was soo Amazing!!!! he spoke great English, he was very friendly to us, he took his time guiding us and making sure we weren’t to far behind and tjay we were safe. We felt totally free with him and relaxed. He also took a photo of us and would guided us away from the vendors that would bombard us with sales.

This truly was a great experience I would recommend doing it. This was our first time here and I am greatful for his hospitality.

Go!

We had two adults and two teen boys and did 2 carts - great decision. Chris was a great guide and the trip was fun! We got muddy and loved exploring the cenote and Macao beach was gorgeous. Glad we booked the early 8a/9a tour which picked us up/dropped off in a van at our hotel! Pack sunscreen and enjoy.

Let's do hiking in Punta Cana

Anurita_M, Apr 2026

Scenic hike through the Anamuya Mountains

It was a good hike through the mountain range. Parts of the terrain are challenging as you are going uphill through some rocky/muddy areas, and parts of it are very scenic. Wear sturdy shoes and comfortable clothing. Wilkin, the guide, is very experienced and knowledgeable about the area and made the walk fun! It is an adventure!

Half-Day Cultural Safari

Taylor_S, Mar 2026

Best Cultural Tour!!

We originally had a switch up with our activity dates and Christopher was VERY accommodating and still showed us a great time! The food, culture, and sites were all great and we were free to ask all types of questions! Not only did we go to the designated spots, he also took the time to show us some real spots to get good food and drinks outside of the popular places. When going to the chocolate and coffee spot, the demonstration was very good and they let us taste the products at their different stages. The lunch was really tasty and very fresh, each of us had 2 plates of food and really enjoyed the hospitality!!! Would highly recommend!

Hip Hop Adult Only Party Boat with Unlimited drinks & Sandba stop

Darnella_T, Jan 2026

10 out of 10 definitely recommend we would do it again

It was a great way to start off our vacation, pros: great way to meet new people ( all ages and ethnicities were on board), communication was good between myself and company, staff was nice,helpful & attentive, music selection was good( mix between American hiphop,reggae , Caribbean, etc.) Price for the excursion was good for the experience. Stayed a while in the last location where the turn up really happened. Cons: unless you have water shoes all shoes are removed ( so basically majority of people were barefoot on the boat) drinks were watered down however they were unlimited so you will eventually start to feel it. ( premium liquor is a surcharge but thats not a con just FYI, rum and vodka, water & spirits unlimited). As far as food after all that liquor fruit is the only thing served( & the fruit wasnt fresh tasted spoilage, however, there is people selling food on the water between $20-$40), you do have the option to snorkel but only for 15-20min . Recommendations:( as a customer) bring water shoes, Would we do it over again yes 100 times over.

Worth it!

We went with our 3 year old and had a blast! Everyone was soooo nice and lively. The photographer on the boat was amazing and took the best pictures! Honestly, was the best part of the trip. Snorkeling was very clear. The sand bar was amazing. They had floating bar, people with monkeys and parrots to take pictures with.
