Punta Cana
Party boat vs buggy Punta Cana for indecisive travellers
Both are 3–4h half-day adrenaline tours, both priced $55–85 pp. Party boat = water, open bar, music, foam, depart Cabeza de Toro. Buggy = land, dust, cenote, Macao. Stag/hen groups almost always pick party boat. Couples and small mixed groups often do buggy in the morning and a chill pool afternoon. Doing both in one trip is normal — just not on the same day.
