Punta Cana
Catamaran Cruise from Paradisus Palma Real Golf & Spa Resort for resort guests
The 4-hour catamaran cruise from Paradisus Palma Real Golf & Spa Resort is our most-booked afternoon excursion. Lobby pickup at the Paradisus Palma Real Golf & Spa Resort entrance in Bávaro around 1:15 PM (~15 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+. Bávaro and Arena Gorda hotels are 15–20 min from the marina — the sweet spot for the 2:30 PM slot: late buffet lunch, quick lobby pickup, no rushed morning, full 4 hours on the water. Who it's for: Couples, golfers (Cocotal next door), Reserve and Family Concierge guests blending resort luxury with a few 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 Paradisus Palma Real Golf & Spa Resort guests under a single booking reference, so families travelling on different reservations still board together. Paradisus Palma Real sits next to Cocotal Golf — we time excursion mornings so you're back by 3 PM for a twilight 9 holes, then sunset on the beach. No wasted afternoons.
