    The staff were great, informative, funny and couldn’t do enough for us. The experience its self was brilliant, it was amazing snorkelling, seeing all of the fish and sea creatures as well as getting to contribute to a coral reef. Lunch was also great, being served to us on our boat and the open bar and rum and coconut drink was a plus.

Punta Cana Buggy-tur på kvällen med dominikansk middag

Den här upplevelsen är full av äventyr. Terrängkörning med buggy eller safaritruck, traditionella Taino-ceremonier och bad i underjordiska pooler ger en adrenalinpumpande kväll från Punta Cana. Juan, en av våra lokalguider, säger: ”Grottor och cenoter spelade en viktig roll i den inhemska Taino-kulturen. Trots att de ser så frestande ut med sitt svala akvamarinblå vatten badade Taino-folket aldrig i cenoterna eller använde vattnet eftersom de trodde att de var en port till underjorden. Dessutom får du njuta av en dominikansk middag och en öppen bar som följs av livemusik.För att starta din actionfyllda kväll kommer du att köra genom den dominikanska landsbygden, zooma längs grusvägar och se hur landskapet förvandlas från dag till natt. Guidad av facklor fortsätter du resan för att ta ett dopp i en naturlig grottpool, en så kallad cenote, med stämningsfull belysning. Och om du väljer alternativet med safaritruck får du också besöka Yara-grottans kusliga djup.Med flammande facklor som lyser upp vägen tar du dig tillbaka till basen för en välförtjänt drink och en god middag med lokala rätter. Restaurangpersonalen är stolta över att skapa klassiska dominikanska rätter, nylagade med säsongens råvaror från ön. Kvällen avrundas med en traditionell Taino-dansshow och möjlighet att delta i en boogie eller njuta av den öppna baren under stjärnorna.

Total relaxation awaits on this full day cruise to Saona Island's dazzling shores. You'll explore this tropical daydream Caribbean Isle, soaking up the sun and the vibrant colours while you stroll along palm-shaded beaches. First up is a coastal tour of Cotubanama National Park, then you'll stop at a natural pool for a dip before heading to the beach for lunch and free time. Ramon, one of our expert guides, says, ‘Our priority is to protect our pristine environment and all the species that make Saona so special. We were the first country to protect manatees by law, and we have a turtle conservation programme here on the island, too.'After a relaxing cruise over to Saona, the sightseeing can begin in earnest. You'll cruise the shoreline of the Cotubanama National Park while your local guide points out the island wildlife. See the rocks of El Peñón, and then glide through the Catuano channel. Next, it's time to cool off in the azure water of the natural pools, formed by sandbanks in the open sea. The water is such a tempting shade of blue you won't be able to resist.Docking at one of Saona Island's fabulous beaches, you'll step off the boat for some beach time. There's the Caribbean for paddling, soft white sand to dip your toes in, and a volleyball pitch to play on. Or you could take the simplest option and just stretch out in the sun. After your tasty buffet lunch is served, there's more free time to enjoy the magical setting.
