Best Punta Cana Water Activities Beyond the Parks
Quick answerBeyond the slides, the standout water activities are catamaran cruises with snorkeling, a full-day trip to Saona Island and the natural Blue Hole at Scape Park. Mix one park day with one boat or island day for the best balance.
Catamaran cruises and snorkeling
A half-day catamaran cruise with a snorkeling stop and a natural pool is the most popular on-water add-on. Most include drinks, music and hotel pickup, and they pair perfectly with a separate water park day.
Saona Island and Blue Holes
Saona Island is a full-day classic with white sand, turquoise shallows and a catamaran or speedboat ride. For a quick hit, the Blue Hole cenote at Scape Park gives you fresh-water swimming and cliff jumps close to Cap Cana.
