Dominican Republic · SPEEDBOAT AND JET SKI TOURS IN PUNTA CANA
The 15 speedboat and jet ski tours in Punta Cana we would put on a first Dominican itinerary, with what each costs, how long it runs and who it suits. Number one is at the top for a reason.
From Bayahibe, you’ll cruise to Saona Island by sailing catamaran and return by speedboat, with 2.5 hours on the beach, buffet lunch, open-bar drinks, Caribbean music, and a 30-minute natural-pool stop. Guides such as Christian and Juan help keep the day moving.

Man erkennt überhaupt nichts einfach nur Müll. Bist 3 h unterwegs weil der Bus diverse andere Touristen von hotels einsammeln, voll mit Urlaubern aus frn Nachbarländern (Kolumbien, Kuba etc.). nicht zu empfehlen!!”

Take a private speedboat for up to six from Bayahibe or Dominicus, with Captain Omar and crew support, snorkeling at Catuano, beach time on Saona Island, and a swim at Palmilla’s natural pools. Drinks, snacks, and equipment are included, but lunch details need confirming.

From Bávaro, your English, Spanish, or French-speaking guide takes you by speedboat to a coral reef for snorkeling, then to a clear-water natural pool. You can drive the boat yourself under supervision. The water program lasts about two hours, despite the day-long wording.
“Der Ausflug macht total Spaß, man fährt zunächst zu einem Ort zum Schnorcheln wobei man auf sehr viele Fische trifft. Danach fährt man zu einem gut besuchten Naturpool. Man darf ziemlich zügig selber ans Steuer, hierbei ist ein Guide mit auf dem Speedboot weswegen auch Leute ohne den SBF See das Boot fahren dürfen. Nach meiner Meinung ist der Ausflug sehr schön gemacht, jedoch fände ich es besser wenn man etwas länger an dem Ort zum Schnorcheln bleiben kann (ca. 30 Minuten).”
Spend four hours off Punta Cana riding a two-person speedboat, snorkeling among colorful reef fish, trying snuba, and sailing by catamaran. Bilingual guides lead the outing, with lunch on an ocean platform, drinks, hotel pickup, and optional photos for an extra cost.

“The activities were amazing! Very family friendly for all ages. Food was tasty and not expensive. A great day had by all”
Choose one, two, or three main activities at a Punta Cana adventure park: jet ski, buggy, or Aqua Kart. Your four-hour visit also includes a 200-meter zipline, Donut Ride, inflatable water course, and pool club access, with hotel pickup from major resort areas.
“The excursion and activities itself were excellent. Communication was great and the transfer arrived on time. We paid for the Jet Skiing and got access to the small waterpark, zip lining and pool. Those were all incredible. The jet skis were so cool, the hosts were incredibly friendly and accommodating considering we spoke very limited Spanish. This truly would’ve been a 5 star review, however, we ordered food and drinks at the small restaurant in the park. Now the food itself actually tasted incredible, was cooked quickly, portion sizes are very big, it’s very cheap, and the server was super friendly. However I couldn’t finish the entire pizza to myself…”
Pick a coast, a cave or a boat.
