Discover Punta Cana: Excursions & Transportation

A Caribbean paradise with a world to discover

Vibrant Punta Cana offers plenty of things to do along the Eastern coast of the Dominican Republic. Complete with its own international airport, it is lined with over 40 miles of some of the most breathtaking beaches you will ever see.

More than 40 beachfront hotels, world-class golf courses, endless water sports and activities, as well as exquisite dining options are part of this destination’s charm. Let us be your host while staying in Punta Cana. By booking our airport transfers from Punta Cana Airport, you receive complimentary traveler support 24/7. We have hosts in most resorts of the Dominican Republic.

The best thing about this paradise is everything you can do when leaving your resort. If you want to make a splash, Punta Cana has plenty of water activities! Discover its wonderful marine life, go explore the reefs and meet beautiful undersea creatures like trumpetfish, green sea turtles, parrotfish and friendly stingrays.

For a more relaxed family outing in Punta Cana, cruise the coastline on a glass-bottom boat and get the thrill of a lifetime swimming with sharks and rays in a net. Lovers of gentler sea animals can experience swimming with dolphins in an ocean basin or whale watching certain months of the year, an attraction that brings together people from all over the world.

If you prefer land adventures to explore the Punta Cana outdoors, hit the zip lines or join an ATV expedition in the magnificent surrounding backcountry where you’ll discover — on all-terrain vehicles or horseback — tropical forests and jungle-covered mountains.

Even more, remember that you can make Punta Cana yours with private excursions, which offer a VIP experience only for you and your loved ones. Punta Cana has it all. Go live it with Amstar!
