How to Get to Punta Cana Water Parks

By the Punta Cana Water Park Editorial Team

Quick answerMost water parks sit 15 to 40 minutes from the Bavaro and Cap Cana resort zones. The easiest option is a tour with round-trip hotel pickup, since taxis are pricey and public transport is limited.

From the airport (PUJ)

Punta Cana International Airport sits in the middle of the resort corridor. El Dorado Water Park is about 20 minutes away, Scape Park in Cap Cana around 15 minutes, and the Bavaro parks 25 to 35 minutes. Pre-booked transfers or tour pickup are far simpler than arranging a taxi on arrival.

Tour pickup vs taxi

A return taxi to a water park can cost more than a full guided day trip. Tours that include hotel pickup remove the guesswork on timing and pricing, and many bundle entry tickets with transport so you pay one clear rate.
