This half-day catamaran cruise takes you into the hidden depths of Punta Cana. Choose from various departure times, in the morning or the afternoon. You'll cruise through the emerald waters of Atabey Santuary, where you'll find shimmering lagoons perfect for swimming in. Top up your tan on deck as you sail towards Punta Cana marina, as well as a coral reef perfect for a spot of snorkelling. Then cool off with a dip in the natural pools of Playa Blanca beach.

The staff were all excellent and helpful. One walked us to the fresh water lagoon for a swim before a short bus ride to the boat, we were lucky to have a reasonably sized group so was not crowded. Drinks were excellent and the fruit and crisps made nice snacks. Photographer was friendly. Photos are an extra $50 which was not too bad compared to other places and we were able to download them the next day. Would have liked to have seen more lagoons at the park but overall a great day

Service and host were 10/10, fun and always providing you with free drinks (including rum!). The cenote was beautiful and so peaceful. The trip was around 6 hours overall from Bavaro hotels and would definitely recommend.

The cenote is amazing!! Absolutely the best part of the trip. The snorkelling was good but definitely impacted by the weather which is no fault of the tour group at all. They do try to make it a party trip but don’t force it which is nice.

Really good good and enjoyable tour. The lagoon and snorkelling was great. On the expensive side for half a day

I enjoyed all aspects of this experience, my only comment is that it would have been nice to have had more time in the Eco Park. If just the park was an option, I would have chosen to do just that and booked a separate experience for the catamaran. Top tip, don't forget to bring your sunglasses as it was so bright on the water and on the boat - I accidentally left mine at the hotel!

I really enjoyed this excursion, the staff were really good and the snacks (fruit and crisps) were a nice touch. The only part I thought let it down was how rough the sea was for snorkelling however I know that cannot be helped. Overall we had a great day and new experiences.
