Punta Cana Holidays

Tropical Beaches, Gentle Surf And Stunning Golf Courses...

Punta Cana holidays will take you to the beautiful area known as the Coconut Coast, stretching 50km to Bavaro further north. The white sands, swaying palm trees, turquoise blue waters, tropical jungle scenery and backdrop of rolling hills all help to create one of the most beautiful scenes in the Caribbean. The gentle surf is ideal for children and creates a wonderful place to snorkel and scuba dive. A 30km coral reef hugs the coastline and is home to some wonderful marine life and intriguing shipwrecks. Diving instruction is available for all abilities and levels of competence, so you really have no excuse not to try it. Back above the surface there are plenty of other water sports to choose from; parasailing, windsurfing, jet skiing and banana boats all offers hours of fun. Deep sea fishing is extremely popular on holidays to Punta Cana; they even hold international competitions in these waters.

Back on dry land, if golf is your game then you will be in your element here, there are 5 courses to choose from, some of which were designed by Nick Faldo and Jack Nicklaus, with the Teeth of the Dog being one of the most picturesque having breathtaking ocean views. A 4 wheel drive adventure will take you through some amazing jungle terrain; exploring hidden caves, and stopping for a relaxing swim, before visiting sugarcane fields, a wonderful way to sample the Caribbean lifestyle.

Fun Family Entertainment And Quirky Caribbean Cuisine

Book a day trip to Manati Park in Bavaro with dolphin, sea lion and parrot shows, or an excursion to Dolphin Island gives the chance to swim with the specially trained mammals, in their own environment. The Marinarium in Punta Cana offers a chance to swim with nurse sharks and sting rays, a thoroughly exhilarating experience. Take an invigorating horse ride along the beach, with the wind blowing in your hair and sound of the hooves galloping through the powdery white sand. Shopping is at its best in El Cortecito, right in the middle of the resort, where haggling is expected and there are some great bargains to be had.

Accommodation on your Punta Cana holidays will be mainly all inclusive with some adult only options and family friendly hotels with excellent entertainment for children. Many people obviously eat on an all inclusive basis but there are good choices of restaurants around the region, the Jellyfish found right on the ocean front serves exquisite lobster and chicken dishes and is named such because it resembles the shape of a jellyfish. Nightlife is usually hotel based with live music and cabaret shows most evenings, some have their own discos and a few even have casinos. Holidays in Punta Cana offer relaxation in abundance, with just the right amount of excursions if you want them, enjoy the wonderful weather and tropical surroundings, then just lie back and pamper yourself all day.
