Punta Cana: Cenote Swim and Ocean Snorkeling Catamaran Cruise with Open Bar

Explore a natural cenote, ecological reserve, and ocean snorkel in one combination package with guide, transport, and catamaran open bar.

Getting started

Begin your day when your air-conditioned vehicle collects you from your confirmed hotel or designated meeting point in Punta Cana. After pickup details are finalized via WhatsApp before the tour, you travel towards the jungle area that hosts the natural cenote and ecological reserve. On arrival, you meet your conservation and wildlife guide and get oriented for the first part of your experience.

What to expect

Natural cenote and ecological reserve

You start at a jungle ecological reserve where crystal-clear natural cenotes sit among lush tropical landscapes. This part of the day focuses on nature, local wildlife, and conservation as you move between the cenote and nearby paths.

Features

• The natural cenote swimming experience lets you swim and snorkel in crystal-clear natural cenotes hidden in the jungle, with time to enjoy the cool freshwater pools that contrast with the surrounding vegetation.
• During the walking tour at the ecological reserve, you explore lush tropical landscapes and learn about local wildlife and conservation efforts as your conservation and wildlife guide explains how the area is protected.
• Travel between Punta Cana and the reserve in an air-conditioned vehicle, so you can focus on the experience rather than the logistics in the tropical climate.

Organic apiary visit and honey tasting

Next, you visit an organic apiary within the ecological setting to see how local honey is produced. This stop connects the landscape you have just explored with local practices and flavors.

Features

• At the organic apiary visit and honey tasting, you observe how bees and hives are managed in this environment, then sample honey that reflects the surrounding flora.
• Your conservation and wildlife guide helps link what you learned on the walking tour at the ecological reserve to the apiary, explaining how healthy ecosystems support local honey production.

Cabo Engaño ocean snorkel cruise

Later, you head towards the coast for the ocean part of your day, joining a small-group snorkeling cruise near Cabo Engaño. This section shifts from jungle to sea, with time in the water and on board the catamaran.

Features

• Ocean snorkeling is included, giving you the chance to snorkel vibrant reefs using provided use of snorkeling equipment, so you do not need to bring your own mask, snorkel, or fins.
• The cruise route lets you snorkel vibrant reefs and paddleboard across a striking sandbar while you experience a unique blend of nature, culture, and ocean fun in one seamless experience.
• On board, snacks at the catamaran such as chips and salsa and seasonal fruits are available, so you can recharge between swims without leaving the boat.
• The open bar at the catamaran includes spirits, local brews, tastings, spirits, margaritas, spirits punch, and soda, and you can also relax at the floating bar with a premium open bar as the boat anchors near the sandbar.

Wrapping up

After the catamaran returns to shore, you can purchase any additional food and drinks at the beach restaurant if you choose, since these are not included. Your air-conditioned vehicle then brings you back to your original pickup area in Punta Cana, rounding off the combination of cenote, apiary, and ocean snorkel experiences.
