Punta Cana
Small group vs large group excursions in Punta Cana for group-size researchers
Small groups (max 8–12): faster boarding, guide remembers names, food cooked per order, swim spots not crowded, you get the photo without 40 strangers. Large groups (40–80+): cheaper per head, social vibe if you want one, but longer waits at every checkpoint, buffet food, limited shaded seating. Pick small for honeymoons, families and photo trips — large for singles/spring-break party energy.
