What to do with the family in Punta Cana?

The best adventures are the ones you share with family, and when you vacation in the Dominican Republic, you’ll find a rich variety of family activities in Punta Cana. The resort town is right next to the majestically blue Caribbean Sea, and as such, there’s a plethora of water activities to try such as sailing, snorkeling, and relaxing on perfect white-sand beaches.

Children in particular should look forward to exploring Punta Cana, and perhaps there's no better place than a monkey reserve in the middle of the jungle called Monkey Land. Enjoy interacting with a multitude of monkeys in this 5-acre sanctuary that's as family-friendly as they come. Or for more encounters with the fauna of the Dominican Republic, the whole family can enjoy a memorable dolphin swim for a perfect water adventure where you can make friends with the smartest sea mammals around.

The kids can also enjoy simply being surrounded by nature, getting away from civilization, and experiencing the rural life of the Dominican countryside. They can explore the verdant setting where coffee and chocolate come from, with both a safari truck ride and a nice horse riding escapade.

For even more exciting family activities in the Punta Cana area, how about checking out Scape Park, a magical place in the wilderness where everyone can try out zip lining, biking, and swimming. Or you can get away completely from your resort and explore the breathtaking Caribbean aboard a catamaran, for an exciting jaunt that includes swimming, snorkeling and even dancing during the cruise. And for culturally-minded families, you simply must go to the capital of the Dominican Republic for a tour of Santo Domingo, the oldest city in the Americas and a bastion of Old World architecture that dates back to the times of Christopher Columbus.
