The best party boat from Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana

Overview

This is our 4-hour catamaran party cruise out of Cabeza de Toro — the highest-rated party boat in Punta Cana and the one we send our own friends on. From the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana in Macao the transfer is 25–30 min on the highway, never through resort back roads. Once on board you get unlimited Dominican rum, ice-cold Presidente beer, Jungle Juice cocktails and soft drinks, a Caribbean lunch ("Grandma's Chicken" with rice, beans, salad), hookah on the upper deck, a snorkel stop at the reef and 45 minutes anchored at the natural sandbar pool — a knee-deep aqua-blue swimming hole in the middle of the ocean. Flat $125 per person includes the round-trip transfer from your hotel, the boat, the bar, the food, the hookah, the snorkel gear and the crew tips. No resort-desk markup, no surprise dock fees, no upsells on board.
