The Top 10 Punta Cana Excursions for 2025
Because you didn’t fly all the way here just to sit by the pool.
When people picture Punta Cana, they often imagine beaches, palm trees, and unlimited cocktails. But if you never leave the resort, you’ll miss out on what the Dominican Republic truly has to offer.
From hidden beaches and island parties to mountain swings and cultural gems, here are 10 unforgettable Punta Cana excursions that will turn your trip into something more than just a vacation.
Saona Island Tour - Must see experience.
1. Saona Island Tour
If you do only one excursion—make it this one. Sail to Saona Island on a catamaran or speedboat, then relax on postcard-perfect beaches with clear turquoise waters and starfish at your feet.
📍 Includes lunch + drinks + hotel transfer
2. VIP Private Boat Charter (aka The Booze Cruise)
Private yacht, floating bar, onboard DJ—enough said. This is the luxury version of the classic Caribbean party, and it’s perfect for birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette trips, or just leveling up your vacation.
📍 Drinks + crew + ocean vibes included
3. Macao Off-Road Buggy Adventure
This is not the tour to wear white. Get muddy as you rip through the countryside in your own dune buggy, stopping at local farms and secret beaches along the way.
📍 Fun for couples, families, and groups
4. Coco Bongo Punta Cana
Part Vegas show, part nightclub, part “what did I just watch?” This iconic live performance experience combines acrobatics, music, lights, and dancing for a night you won’t forget (unless you go too hard).
📍 Nightlife meets circus energy
5. Bávaro Adventure Park – Nature Meets Adrenaline
This one’s for thrill-seekers and families alike. Spend the day zip-lining, riding zorb balls, crossing suspension bridges, or exploring caves. It’s an eco-adventure park set in lush tropical terrain—just minutes from your hotel.
📍 Multiple activities in one place, great for groups and kids
6. Horseback Riding on the Beach
Slow down and enjoy the calm side of the island. Ride along the shoreline with gentle waves beside you and a local guide leading the way.
📍 Great for couples, families, and first-timers
7. Imagine Disco – Saturday Night Underground
Dance inside a literal cave. Yes, a real cave. Imagine is Punta Cana’s most unique nightclub, and the Saturday package with Grand Central PC gives you the full VIP experience.
📍 Includes entry, drinks, and safe transfers
8. Boca de Yuma Day Trip
Discover the quieter side of the coast. This charming fishing village offers cliff views, local cuisine, and a break from the tourist crowds. Add this if you're craving something off the beaten path.
📍 Local culture + food + sea breeze
9. Dolphin Explorer or Scuba Diving Tour
Get up close with marine life. Whether you want to dive under the surface or meet dolphins face-to-face, the underwater world here is unforgettable.
📍 Eco-safe, licensed, and beginner-friendly
10. Punta Danza – Bachata Night
This is more than a dance class—it’s an experience run by locals who live and breathe Dominican rhythm. No judgment, just good music and better vibes.
