Itinerary

  • Runners Adventures

    Your tour starts with an air-conditioned ride from your resort to take you to the northern coast and the mountainous landscape of Punta Rucia. This quaint fishing village features a gorgeous soft sand beach nestled among the green tropical mountains. But you’re not staying here long. Instead, board a luxury catamaran and pass through the area’s flora and fauna in a natural mangrove waterway that opens to a turquoise blue sea dotted with coral reefs. The journey to Cayo Arena could even afford you a glimpse of the manatees that call the Dominican mangroves home, as well as dolphins at play in the sea. 

    5 hours

  • Punta Rucia (Pass By)

    Stop by the beach to take a ride on our boat towards to Cayo Arena

  • Cayo Arena

    Halfway to your destiny, hop in a natural pool in the middle of the ocean, where you will enjoy great champagne, served by the attentive staff.  Once arriving at Cayo Arena, your boat will drop anchor and you’ll have a chance to swim in the warm sea. Snorkel above the coral and take in the colorful fish and sea life swimming beneath the water that’s practically crystal clear. Then swim up to the island’s beach, where a traditional Dominican buffet lunch will be provided for your visit. You’ll have time to soak in the sun as you drink a cold one right on the sand before sailing back to Punta Rucia, and your awaiting vehicle will take you back to your resort at the end of a relaxing day.

Cayó experience was top notch

Published on Sep, 2024

Such a wonderful experience!! Beautiful and amazing. The photographer did a wonderful job. The ceviche deserves the chefs kiss! The food was delicious. The deck hands were incredible too. The bus ride from Puerto Plata was long but the beauty and wonder of Cayo made it worth it!

Just beautiful

The beautiful blue water. The drive to the boat was a bit long but it was a nice chance to see some countryside. The boat was a lot of fun and the drinks were never ending. The island was beautiful but unfortunately I got sun burned pretty bad so I was in a hurt to get bad. This is a great tour and you will have lot of fun - totally worth it!

A must do day trip in puerto plata

Published on Jul, 2023

If I could I’d give it 10 stars. Great trip to the ocean “swimming pool” and sand dune. The drinks were flowing, awesome ceviche, and one of the best lunches. The drive and visit to the local village at the end was both scenic and culturally enlightening. The service was top notch by the crew!!!!
