US News Travel Boat Tour Recommendations
Punta Espada Golf Course
The green fees to play at Punta Espada are hefty, but hear us out before you write it off: This par-72 course is a Jack Nicklaus signature course and the site of top tournaments like the PGA Champions Tour.
La Cana Golf Course
La Cana Golf Course boasts paspalum grass (a grass seed that can be hydrated with sea water), four holes directly along the seafront (and an additional 10 with ocean views), and plenty of prestige. Golf lovers appreciate that it's not as crowded or expensive as Punta Espada, plus they say this P.B. Dye-designed course is more scenic than the Lakes Barceló Golf Course.
Xtreme-Buggy - Day Tours
Real Dune Buggy Adventure, Dune Buggy's with VW-4 stroke engine. Half Day or Full day excursions to the Dominican Country side.
Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park & Reserve
The Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park and Reserve is a private protected area that covers 1,500 acres of land dedicated to conservation, scientific research, and recreation.The Ecological Reserve is a forest reserve with twelve freshwater lagoons, five of which visitors can swim in.
Saona Island - Day Trip
Isla Saona or Saona Island, located 12 miles off the southeastern coast of the Dominican Republic, ranks among the top five most popular excursions in the DR. It's no surprise- this Caribbean island off the coast of Bayahibe is straight out of a postcard from paradise with its numerous powdery white sand beaches, bright turquoise waters, sandbanks, and towering palm trees, with no major development.
Clubs/Nightlife
There are 3 bumping clubs (discos) - Imagine (which is in a cave), Jewel, and Oro (inside Hard Rock hotel). Be prepared to smell like an ashtray when you come out… and don’t mind the ladies of the night. Also, don’t plan to come until after 11 pm, the places don’t get busy till midnight. Oro & Jewel put on concerts from time to time. It’s a good idea to check what’s happening during the week you will be there. David Guetta comes to play at Oro every New Years Eve, recently Rihanna was there too. Jewel is owned by Akon – that’s just some fun Punta Cana trivia for ya!
