All transfers are organized by Cana Tours. You don't need to arrange transportation or find the departure point yourself. Longer transfers are completely normal because some excursions depart from different regions of the Dominican Republic.
Where each tour departs from: Saona Island and Catalina Island tours depart from Bayahibe. Party Boat and Private Catamaran excursions depart from Bávaro. Horseback Riding and Los Ojos Eco Journey depart from Punta Cana Resort. Private Yacht Charters depart from Cap Cana Marina. Buggy Adventures, Taíno Night Journey and Dominican Adventure depart from Macao. Samaná Adventure departs from Miches with a catamaran.
Boats we charter
Sport yachts 45–60ft for couples and small groups, motor yachts 65–80ft with multiple cabins for families, and catamarans 50–62ft for larger groups who want stable cruising. All with captain, mate and on-board service. From Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana specifically, the timing works because we already know the Bávaro (adults-only) lobby pattern and the 10-minute hop to Cabeza de Toro — that's the corridor every private-yacht charter on this page uses. Adults-only Secrets on the Bávaro main beach — Preferred Club rooms get a private beach section and a separate concierge desk.
Typical itineraries
Half-day to natural pools and snorkel reef, full-day Saona Island private charter, or sunset cruise with chef-prepared canapés. Custom routes built around your hotel pickup time. For a Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana stay, the day's anchor is the 25-minute window between PUJ and the Bávaro coast. We schedule each private-yacht charter around that buffer so couples and families staying in this adults-only luxury resort aren't waiting at the gate for someone else's pickup.
Booking from Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana
When Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana guests book a private-yacht charter with us, the day is built around two fixed timings: the 10-minute hop to Cabeza de Toro and the 25-minute window to PUJ. Because Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana is a adults-only 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 Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana 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 Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana?+
Yes — drivers wait at the Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana main lobby. PUJ airport is about 25 min away, which helps us time pickups precisely.
Which marina do boats leave from for Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana guests?+
Cabeza de Toro — about 10 min from the Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana lobby. We always pick the marina that saves drive time over chasing a slightly cheaper boat further away.
Are food and drinks included on board?+
Open bar (rum, beer, soft drinks) and light snacks are standard. Chef-prepared lunches and premium spirits are an optional upgrade. Specifically for Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana guests: pickup is at your lobby, the driver is briefed on the Bávaro (adults-only) wristband policy, and the private-yacht charter runs on the schedule we agreed by WhatsApp.
Can we choose the route?+
Yes — natural pools, Saona, Catalina or a sunset loop. We adapt to wind and your hotel pickup time. From Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana the operational detail is the 10-minute transfer to Cabeza de Toro and the 25-minute window to PUJ — both already built into the private-yacht charter 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.
