The Experience

Before You Go

Book morning slots

Early departures mean calmer water, cooler temperatures and better visibility for reef and bird life.

Use reef‑safe sunscreen

Protect coral and marine life—apply before arrival and reapply after water exposure.

Secure valuables

Leave loose items at the park locker or bring a small dry bag; phones are at risk on donut rides and obstacles.

Know health limits

This activity involves moderate physical effort; it’s not recommended for pregnant guests or those with heart issues.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ride along the lagoon edge to spot sheltered mangrove channels where small fish concentrate.
  • Check the park’s pool club patio for quieter afternoon views and local snack stands frequented by residents.

Wildlife

  • Brown pelicans
  • Tropical reef fish (parrotfish, sergeant majors)

Conservation Note

Coral and mangroves are sensitive to runoff and sunscreen chemicals—choose reef‑safe products and follow operator guidance to minimize wake and disturbance.

Punta Cana’s coastline saw rapid development after the 1970s tourism boom; the region overlays older Taíno territory and later agricultural land converted to hospitality infrastructure.
