? Full Description

Begin your half-day aquatic exploration with a pickup from your hotel, which transports you to the marina or beach launch point in the Bávaro area. Upon boarding the specially designed glass-bottom boat, the adventure begins immediately. As the boat sails along the stunning Punta Cana coastline, you will gather around the boat's glass panel to observe the marine flora and fauna below. This unique perspective allows you to appreciate the Caribbean's rich underwater life without ever needing to enter the water.

The cruise makes two exciting stops. First, the boat anchors at a local coral reef site, where guests can choose to use the provided snorkeling equipment to get a closer look at the fish and coral formations. Next, the vessel proceeds to the famous Bávaro Natural Pool, a vast sandbar area known for its shallow, calm water. Here, you can exit the boat, relax in the ocean, and enjoy the party atmosphere complete with music and refreshing drinks from the floating bar. On the return trip to the marina, the atmosphere remains festive before you are transferred back to your hotel, concluding a relaxed and scenic half-day on the water.
