Private excursions for your hotel stay · Cana Bay Residences
Just your group, your schedule, your driver and guide. Pickup at your hotel lobby for every trip. Tailored for Cana Bay Residences guests staying in Cana Bay / Hard Rock, Macao (golf condos) — pickup organised at your lobby, paid in cash or card on arrival. Cana Bay Residences sits on the Macao coast — a 5-star Relais & Châteaux property about 25 min from PUJ and 25 min from Cap Cana Marina, the marina we use for most boat departures. Beachfront and golf-front condo residences inside the Cana Bay master plan adjoining the Hard Rock Hotel — pool access, beach club and Hard Rock golf privileges.

Private Saona by speedboat, private catamaran sunset, private buggy convoy with chase vehicle, and private VIP Scape Park access. We build the day around your hotel pickup time and your kids' nap schedule. From Cana Bay Residences specifically, the timing works because we already know the Cana Bay / Hard Rock, Macao (golf condos) lobby pattern and the 25-minute hop to Cap Cana Marina — that's the corridor every private excursion on this page uses. Beachfront and golf-front condo residences inside the Cana Bay master plan adjoining the Hard Rock Hotel — pool access, beach club and Hard Rock golf privileges.
Why private
No fixed roster of strangers, no shared bathroom breaks, no waiting. You pay roughly 30–60% more than group price, but it's the difference between a tour and your own day. For a Cana Bay Residences stay, the day's anchor is the 25-minute window between PUJ and the Macao coast. We schedule each private excursion around that buffer so couples and families staying in this 5-star Relais & Châteaux property aren't waiting at the gate for someone else's pickup.
Booking from Cana Bay Residences
When Cana Bay Residences guests book a private excursion with us, the day is built around two fixed timings: the 25-minute hop to Cap Cana Marina and the 25-minute window to PUJ. Because Cana Bay Residences is a 5-star Relais & Châteaux property, 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 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 Residences?+
Yes — drivers wait at the Cana Bay 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 Residences guests?+
Cap Cana Marina — about 25 min from the Cana Bay Residences lobby. We always pick the marina that saves drive time over chasing a slightly cheaper boat further away.
How much more does private cost?+
Roughly 30–60% more than the group price, depending on group size. For 4+ guests the per-head delta is small. Specifically for Cana Bay Residences guests: pickup is at your lobby, the driver is briefed on the Cana Bay / Hard Rock, Macao (golf condos) wristband policy, and the private excursion runs on the schedule we agreed by WhatsApp.
Can we mix activities in one day?+
Yes — e.g. half-day Saona by speedboat + sunset catamaran. We build custom itineraries around your hotel pickup time. From Cana Bay Residences the operational detail is the 25-minute transfer to Cap Cana Marina and the 25-minute window to PUJ — both already built into the private 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.
