Before you go

Which Punta Cana excursions last half a day?

The buggy ride lasts about three hours. The trips to Saona, Santo Domingo and Los Haitises take up most of the day.

Which excursion should I pick if I don't want to go on a boat?

Santo Domingo is a cultural outing by road. Scape Park, the buggy and the Cueva de las Maravillas also let you plan a day without a sea crossing.

Where can I see whether I get picked up at the hotel?

Check the pickup area and type in the trip's listing. Confirm the point and time on your voucher before you leave.
