The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Sail to the achingly beautiful Saona Island on a private catamaran, drift through a natural starfish lagoon, and feast on a Dominican seafood lunch on the sand. This is the Caribbean at its most cinematic — and completely untouched.
Glide by motorboat through a primeval mangrove labyrinth, explore Pre-Columbian Taíno cave paintings, and walk ancient jungle trails inside one of the Caribbean's most biodiverse national parks. Los Haitises is a world apart — raw, silent, and staggeringly beautiful.
Witness the world's greatest humpback whale congregation — up to 3,000 whales winter in Samaná Bay — then anchor at the paradise island of Cayo Levantado for a private beach afternoon. A once-in-a-lifetime pelagic encounter paired with sheer Caribbean beauty.
Descend into a luminous underground river cave, swim beneath a cascading jungle waterfall, and kayak a sacred Taíno river through dense tropical forest — all within Punta Cana's own lush interior. Raw, dramatic, and utterly unlike any beach day.
Tear through red-earth Dominican countryside on a private ATV, plunge into a hidden freshwater cave, and arrive at wild, wave-lashed Macao Beach — the most beautiful undeveloped shore on the Punta Cana coast. Thrilling, visceral, and genuinely off the resort trail.
Canter through lush tropical forest on a well-schooled horse, emerge onto a secluded Caribbean shore, and ride along the waterline as the surf breaks around your horse's hooves. A romantic, timeless Caribbean scene that feels lifted from another century.
