What are the best excursions in Punta Cana, DR??

Question

We're getting married in July and we're staying at the Gran Bahia Principe Resort. Any info on that?? Also we'd like to go on some excursions while we're there....Any info would be appreciated!

Answer 1

You've gotton a lot of great responses to this question, but I will also add one more.

Hubby and I did a few of the ones mentioned on our honeymoon in July (Saona Island is gorgeous!), but our all time favorite was snorkeling with the sharks and rays in the Marinarium. They take you to a confined area in the ocean which is an area that they study, etc. It's very large (as so the animals are not in a cramped little pool). There are lots of gorgeous fish, a huge coral reef, de-barbed sting rays, and nurse sharks. It was so fun, and also very safe (nurse sharks are very very dosile).

I'd reccomend that above all other excursions. Most of all, have a great time and bring your sunblock :)

Answer 2

First off all : Congratulations!!!!!!!

Trips (excursions) only the best :

- Isla Saona

- Monster Truck Safari

- Alto de Chavon/ La Romana/ Casa de Campo

- Cuevas de las Maravillas

- Catamaran (sailing)

I think this will be it, the rest is not that interesting.

Anyway enjoy your honeymoon.

Happy Feet

Answer 3

You could try TripAdvisor.com for comments from past guests and a destination guide.  Punta Cana is pretty isolated, so there aren't a lot of excursions to anything very interesting.  Might be snorkeling trips, etc.

Answer 4

I highly recommend the outback safari excursion. Find out more at outbacksafari.com If you want you can email me at [e-mail] for photos of outback safari. Enjoy.

Answer 5

Congrats :) My hubby and I just got back from Punta Cana, DR. We did the horseback riding. We were going to do parasailing but the boat broke down :( We stayed at the dreams resort down there.

The hotel ppl at the front desk gave us a site (tripadvisor.com) to check out..here i found ur hotel..read the reviews :) to know additional information

Here are some tips to keep in mind after i visited the DR...

1) Bring plenty of cash when traveling to a country (make sure you have low bills as well..u never know when ur going to hafta tip someone). However, be sure to keep it safely locked in something in ur room when you leave. U never kno when a maid might decide to be sneaky and go through something.

2) Regardless of what country you go to, learn the currency rate and how to figure it up. This way when you come across vendors' you will not get screwed out of your money.

3) Make sure all jewelry, regardless of the value of it, stays in your purse when traveling on the plane.

4) Be sure to unblock your debit/credit card before you leave the country :-)

5) Do additional research to make sure if u hafta pay to get into the country or even leaving the country. Different places vary....u hafta pay $10 per person when entering the DR

6) Print out every single document that relates ANYTHING to your trip wherever you are going...even if it means printed certain documents out twice

7) On a copier, make copies of any important ID items (passport, license, ssn card, credit card) just in case you might loose it in the other country.
