Description

Begin your adventure with a comfortable transfer from Punta Cana to the picturesque artists’ village of Altos de Chavón, a replica 16th-century Mediterranean town perched above the Chavón River. Stroll its cobblestone lanes, admire stone architecture, and snap photos of the breathtaking canyon views. Next, board a spacious catamaran for a relaxing cruise toward Catalina Island, a tropical paradise famed for crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life. Snorkel over the famous “Wall,” a protected reef teeming with colorful fish and corals. After your underwater exploration, enjoy time to unwind on the island’s white-sand beach—sunbathe, swim, or simply take in the Caribbean breeze. A freshly prepared Dominican buffet lunch is served right on the beach, and complimentary drinks—both alcoholic and non-alcoholic—are available throughout the day. Knowledgeable guides share insights about local history, culture, and nature, ensuring a well-rounded experience.
