And You Want Something More then only Sun and Sand?
The Punta Cana coast borders the Caribbean Sea to its south and the Atlantic Ocean to its north and east. The most popular adventure in Punta Cana is a boat trip to Saona Island in the Caribbean Sea. You will experience the Caribbean of your dreams: white sandy beaches, weaving palm trees and the incredible, turquoise waters.... The boats depart from the fishing village Bayahibe. Saona Island is as a perfect pearl still hiding in a mollusk shell waiting to be discovered. In fact, in the popular press it is often called the "Pearl of the Caribbean." It is one of those places on this planet that is so special, so exquisite, that has ended up on the bucket list of many world travelers.

But Punta Cana is more then only sea and sand. Were you aware that around Punta Cana you can find the most northern rainforest in the world. The real Jungle excursions from Punta Cana start at the Rio Chavon, a portion of the National Park Del Este. The Rio Chavon meanders through a tropical jungle paradise. A paradise where visitors come face to face with some of nature’s most beautiful butterflies, hummingbirds, live tarantulas, boa constrictors, iguanas and other hot-weather-happy inhabitants, as well as a wide variety of lush tropical plants including orchids, bromeliad, bananas, coffee, cacao, passion fruit and much more
