Day 1
Welcome to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic – paradise on your doorstep!
Congrats on taking this tour with us but be warned - some serious relaxation awaits you! Your chosen destination of Punta Cana is one of the highlights of the Dominican Republic, famed for its gorgeous white-sand and clear waters. This area of the DR features lavish resorts, adventure activities, miles of beach, and a super nightlife. Upon arrival, take a private transfer to your all-inclusive resort and get your appetite and thirst in order! The rest of the day is yours to enjoy as you please, so get exploring the resort’s consummate range of bars, restaurants and facilities - the all-inclusive life is a grand one indeed.
Day 2
A wholesome day of adventure - back-to-back off-roading and ziplining tours
Good morning pleasure-seekers, and welcome to your first day proper in Punta Cana! It’s a day with a difference as we’ll be heading out on a buggy and zipline excursion. A 4x4 off-roader is a great way to experience Punta Cana’s lush forests and dust-roads, before you head to the treetops. Fly high over Punta Cana’s tropical hills and get to see this beautiful corner of the Dominican Republic as the birds do! Once you’ve got your land-legs back, it’s time to head back to your resort for some serious unwinding. Grab a cocktail and relax by the pool, or why not book a spa treatment and experience a true taste of luxury?
Day 3
Visit Saona Island - another kind of paradise!
Would you believe it’s day 3 already? Well, they do say time goes fast when you’re having fun! Today we’ll head to Saona Island via a delightful boat trip. Saona is in many ways the very definition of paradise, having palm-fringed beaches, clear waters, miles of untouched sand and amazing coral reefs. With lunch provided, you’ll be able to explore the island at leisure. Take a hike along the sands and get busy with your camera, or why not take a snorkeling trip and go see what life is like underwater! We’ll head back to your hotel in time for dinner, drinks and another fun-filled night under the stars.
Day 4
A free day of pleasure and leisure in fabulous weather!
A full day on the coconut coast is yours to savor! Take some time to explore all the features of your hotel that you may have missed so far, head to the beach for one last stroll in paradise, or simply unwind by the pool and get fed and watered all day! If you’re feeling in the mood for something a little livelier, why not grab one of the hotel’s bicycles and see the local area on two-wheels, play some tennis, take to the gym or try your hand at archery. However you choose to spend your day, be sure to make the most of it - tomorrow it’s time to go home!
Day 5
Time to bid farewell to the resort and head on home
After an incredible four nights at this all-inclusive haven, it’s time to pack up and hit the road. Enjoy one final meal and a few more hours in the sun before taking your private transfer to the airport for departure. We hope you had a blast and will travel with us again soon!
