3 days in Punta Cana Itinerary

In an area boasting beaches that face both the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, vacations in Punta Cana have been popular with tourists since the early 1970s.

When in Punta Cana, make a side trip to see Isla Saona in Parque Nacional del Este, approximately 1h 10 min away. There's still lots to do: kick back and relax at Bavaro Beach, stroll through Macao Beach, fulfill a lifelong dream with a swim-with-the-dolphins experience, and stop by Life is good.
