Description
Your day in paradise starts with a very early morning pick-up from your hotel. We'll travel northwest through breathtaking scenery to the picturesque fishing village of Punta Rucia, the starting point of our aquatic adventure.
There, you'll board a speedboat that will take you across the Atlantic Ocean to one of the best-kept gems in the Caribbean: Cayo Arena. Upon arrival, you'll be blown away by a bright white sandbar surrounded by turquoise waters so clear you can see the bottom. For the next 3 hours, you'll have plenty of time to relax, sunbathe, and most importantly, snorkel. We'll provide all the gear you need to explore the coral reef that surrounds the island, home to countless vibrantly colored tropical fish. While on the island, enjoy refreshing drinks to stay hydrated.
After your time on the key, we'll head back to the speedboat to explore the lush canals of the Mangrove National Park, a vital ecosystem full of wildlife. Finally, we'll head back to the mainland to enjoy a well-deserved buffet lunch with authentic Dominican flavors, including a variety of meats, rice dishes, and fresh salads. With a full stomach and a happy heart, we'll head back to your hotel.
