Catamaran Punta Cana — Snorkeling, Natural Pool and Open Bar

After pick-up you board at the Bávaro marina. The first leg sails to the coral shelf where the crew hands out masks and fins for a guided snorkel over reef fish and sea fans.

The boat then anchors at the natural pool — a sandbar where the water is waist deep and the sea turns turquoise. The open bar opens here and stays open for the sail back along the resort coastline.

Yes, it is the same vessel and route. We call it a party boat when the emphasis is the music and open bar, and a catamaran cruise when travellers care most about snorkeling and the sandbar. Families and couples book the same departure comfortably.

Morning departures have calmer water and better snorkeling visibility. Afternoon departures have the livelier atmosphere and warmer air. Both include the same stops.

Direct with the operator: $54 USD per adult, $27 per child, everything included. Hotel tour desks and online resellers normally sell the identical cruise for $69 to $89 because they add their commission.

There are no hidden extras at the marina — the open bar, snorkeling equipment, life vests and round-trip transfer are already covered by the price you see here.

Bring swimwear, a towel, reef-safe sunscreen, a waterproof phone case and small bills for tips. We provide masks, snorkels, life vests in adult and child sizes, drinks and shade on deck.

The catamaran has a toilet on board, a shaded seating area and a swim ladder, so it works for grandparents and small children as well as for groups celebrating something.

You reserve online in two minutes and pay cash or bank transfer on the day of the tour. Confirmation is instant and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure.

Pick-up is included from Punta Cana, Bávaro, Cap Cana, Uvero Alto and Macao. Questions before booking? Message us on WhatsApp at +1 (829) 898-0744 and a local team member replies, not a call centre.
