★★★★★★★★★★3.2 · 7 reviews · 4 hours · from $115

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…”
