✈️ 5 Things You Didn’t Know You Could Do in Punta Cana
Discover hidden gems and unique experiences beyond the beach in Punta Cana. Here are 5 unforgettable activities you probably didn’t know existed!
When most people think of Punta Cana, they picture palm-lined beaches, luxury resorts, and sunshine. But if you think all there is to do here is sip cocktails by the pool — think again! Punta Cana is full of surprises and off-the-beaten-path adventures.
Here are 5 unforgettable things you probably didn’t know you could do in Punta Cana:
🌊 1. Drive an Underwater Scooter with Scuba Doo
Ever imagined riding an underwater motorcycle? The Scuba Doo Diving Experience lets you do just that — no diving license or swimming required!
You’ll cruise 3–4 meters beneath the ocean surface with a personal breathing dome and a guide beside you. It’s fun, futuristic, and 100% unforgettable.
🌴 2. Explore a Hidden Natural Spring at Hoyo Claro
Not far from the tourist zone lies Hoyo Claro, a natural pool surrounded by lush jungle. Unlike the overcrowded cenotes, this one’s peaceful, crystal-clear, and mostly visited by locals.
You can visit it as part of our City + Hoyo Claro combo tour and capture some of the most Instagram-worthy moments in all of the Dominican Republic.
🚜 3. Go Off-Road with a Buggy Adventure
Sure, dune buggy tours are known around Punta Cana — but did you know we offer custom, family-friendly buggy rentals with less-crowded trails and time for photo stops?
Our Ready Set Ride experience gives you a private feel with full safety gear and personalized support.
🐒 4. Meet Local Wildlife on a Jungle Tour
Wildlife lovers, rejoice! You don’t need to travel far from your resort to encounter iguanas, parrots, and squirrel monkeys. We take you into preserved eco-areas where local guides teach you about Dominican flora and fauna in a sustainable way.
Some of these spots are only accessible through local tour providers like us.
🧭 5. Discover Indigenous Eyes Ecological Reserve
This private nature reserve features 12 freshwater lagoons, tropical trails, and a quiet escape from the tourist bustle. Not many tourists know it exists — which makes it even better.
Whether you’re into birdwatching, photography, or just want a serene walk in nature, the Ojo Indígena Tour is a peaceful and enriching half-day experience.
