Here are five excursions in Punta Cana that you won’t want to miss — and that will get you back in time for some Latin dancing back at the resort.

Saona Island, full day trip from Punta Cana

Saona Island full-day Tour from Punta Cana

Excursions to this government-protected nature reserve — a tiny island on the southeast tip of the Dominican Republic — begin with a morning drive to the small fishing town of Bayahibe, where you’ll board a speedboat that shuttles you to your catamaran. Rum and beer flow freely as you sail, stopping only at a sandbar to swim and pose for pictures with starfish. On Isla Saona, you’ll enjoy a lunch of chicken, pork, rice, beans, fresh fruit, and other tropical treats. Then, relax on the shores in a food-induced coma until the trip back. The trip averages $89 per person and includes pick up and drop off at the resort.
