Punta Cana
Catamaran Cruise from Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana for resort guests
The 4-hour catamaran cruise from Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana is our most-booked afternoon excursion. Lobby pickup at the Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana entrance in Macao around 1:15 PM (~25 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+. From Macao the marina run is short (30 min via the Friusa cut, never the slow Bavaro strip), so we run a later 3 PM departure and you still get a Macao Beach sunset on the way home. Who it's for: Palace Resorts loyalty guests, 2,000-suite mega-resort travellers (opened June 2026), families and adults-only couples splitting between the family tower and the adults-only wing, US/CA charter groups doing 6–7 night stays. 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 Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana guests under a single booking reference, so families travelling on different reservations still board together. Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana is the newest Macao-side mega-resort with 2,000+ suites, on-site casino, Awe Spa and a FlowRider surf simulator — we pick up at the dedicated Palace Tour Desk side entrance (not the main lobby) so a 2,000-room hotel doesn't bottleneck your 6:30 AM Saona departure, and route Cabeza de Toro transfers via the Macao Bypass instead of the slow Cortecito coastal road.
