Punta Cana
Catamaran Cruise from Excellence Punta Cana for resort guests
The 4-hour catamaran cruise from Excellence Punta Cana is our most-booked afternoon excursion. Lobby pickup at the Excellence Punta Cana entrance in Uvero Alto around 1:15 PM (~40 min A/C van to Cabeza de Toro marina), board our 60-ft catamaran at 2:30 PM, and sail the Bávaro reef line with open bar (Brugal rum, local beer, water, soft drinks), a 45-min snorkel stop at the reef, a sandbar swim at the natural pool, and a relaxed return at sunset. Flat USD 65 per adult / USD 35 per child (3–12) — same boat, same crew as the resort-desk sells for USD 95+. Uvero Alto is the furthest leg (45 min each way), so we either bump pickup to 12:30 PM and book the 2:30 PM slot, or roll you onto the 9 AM morning catamaran — better than burning the heart of the afternoon in traffic. Who it's for: Adults-only couples, repeat Excellence guests, gourmet/à-la-carte travellers wanting upscale half-day trips. Typical pairing from this resort: a morning Macao buggy (or a calm Scape Park cenote half-day) plus this afternoon catamaran — same calendar day, one tip envelope at the end, no resort-desk reception loop in between. On board you'll find shaded benches at the bow for sun-shy guests, an open foredeck trampoline for kids, a freshwater rinse on the return leg, and a bilingual cruise director who calls names off the manifest instead of herding by wristband color. We hold seats for Excellence Punta Cana guests under a single booking reference, so families travelling on different reservations still board together. Excellence Punta Cana is adults-only in Uvero Alto — the 4-hour catamaran party boat is the same vibe an Excellence couple already buys into, minus the resort-desk 40% markup.
