Tailored for Cana Bay Boutique Residences guests staying in Cana Bay (boutique apart-hotel) — pickup organised at your lobby, paid in cash or card on arrival. Cana Bay Boutique Residences sits on the Macao coast — a family luxury resort about 25 min from PUJ and 20 min from Cap Cana Marina, the marina we use for most boat departures. Boutique apart-hotel inside the wider Cana Bay community — a hospitality-managed alternative to the private rentals, with a single check-in, pool and concierge desk.

Saona Island remains the #1 day trip from any Punta Cana resort, followed by sunset catamaran cruises, ATV/buggy off-road and the Hoyo Azul cenote at Scape Park. For couples we recommend private boat charters out of Cabeza de Toro. From Cana Bay Boutique Residences specifically, the timing works because we already know the Cana Bay (boutique apart-hotel) lobby pattern and the 20-minute hop to Cap Cana Marina — that's the corridor every day excursion on this page uses. Boutique apart-hotel inside the wider Cana Bay community — a hospitality-managed alternative to the private rentals, with a single check-in, pool and concierge desk.
How pickup works at this hotel
Drivers wait at the main lobby with a sign. We confirm pickup time and your guide's name by WhatsApp the night before. Round-trip transfer is included in the price. For a Cana Bay Boutique Residences stay, the day's anchor is the 25-minute window between PUJ and the Macao coast. We schedule each day excursion around that buffer so couples and families staying in this family luxury resort aren't waiting at the gate for someone else's pickup.
Booking from Cana Bay Boutique Residences
When Cana Bay Boutique Residences guests book a day excursion with us, the day is built around two fixed timings: the 20-minute hop to Cap Cana Marina and the 25-minute window to PUJ. Because Cana Bay Boutique Residences is a family luxury resort, we pre-brief the guide on the lobby layout, the resort's wristband policy, and where to wait so security never asks twice. That's the difference between a smooth pickup and 20 lost minutes at the gate.
Send your dates, group size and room number on WhatsApp
Send your dates, group size and room number on WhatsApp. We confirm pickup time at the hotel lobby, the meeting guide's name, and the cash/card price — usually within minutes, 7am–11pm. Pickup is from the Cana Bay Boutique Residences main lobby. We send a confirmation message with the driver's name and plate the evening before. Expect roughly 25 min between PUJ airport and the hotel. We're a Dominican team based in Bávaro. No call centre, no resort kick-back. Your concierge resells the same trips at +30–50% — we put you in touch with the small operators directly.

FAQ
Common questions
Do you pick up at Cana Bay Boutique Residences?+
Yes — drivers wait at the Cana Bay Boutique Residences main lobby. PUJ airport is about 25 min away, which helps us time pickups precisely.
Which marina do boats leave from for Cana Bay Boutique Residences guests?+
Cap Cana Marina — about 20 min from the Cana Bay Boutique Residences lobby. We always pick the marina that saves drive time over chasing a slightly cheaper boat further away.
Which excursion should we book first?+
Saona Island is the classic full-day; pair it with a sunset catamaran on a relaxed day and a buggy or Scape Park morning for variety. Specifically for Cana Bay Boutique Residences guests: pickup is at your lobby, the driver is briefed on the Cana Bay (boutique apart-hotel) wristband policy, and the day excursion runs on the schedule we agreed by WhatsApp.
How far in advance should we book?+
24–48 h is enough in low season; in peak weeks (Christmas, Easter, July) book 5–7 days ahead so we lock pickup time and small-group seats. From Cana Bay Boutique Residences the operational detail is the 20-minute transfer to Cap Cana Marina and the 25-minute window to PUJ — both already built into the day excursion price you see.
Why not just book at the hotel excursion desk?+
Resort desks resell the same trips with a 30–50% markup and usually push larger group operators. We connect you directly to the small Dominican operators we use for our own family.
Can I pay in cash on the day?+
Yes — USD or DOP, in cash, on pickup. Card and bank transfer also work. No deposit needed for most options.
What languages do guides speak?+
Group tours are bilingual EN/ES. German, French, Italian, Russian and Portuguese guides available on request for private trips.
Can it be private, just for our group?+
Yes — almost everything on this page has a private upgrade (own boat, own buggy, own driver). Ask us on WhatsApp.
