Best excursions from Sanctuary Cap Cana for guests
The shortlist we'd actually book if we were staying at Sanctuary Cap Cana in Cap Cana this week: Saona Island for the postcard day, the Cabeza de Toro catamaran for sunset, Macao Beach buggies for an adrenaline morning, and Scape Park's Hoyo Azul cenote for a calmer half-day. Every option includes pickup at the Sanctuary Cap Cana lobby (~10 min transfer), bilingual guides and a flat per-person price — no resort-desk markup. Sanctuary Cap Cana is adults-only inside the Cap Cana gated estate — 10 min to the marina where our private yacht charters depart. Chauffeured SUV transfer included.
