Attractions

The Alcazar de Colon

Punta Cana is home to the first European settlement of the Western Hemisphere, and with a car rental from Punta Cana Airport you can tour this UNESCO world heritage site.  Head to Santo Domingo, where you will find the well preserved, 500 year colonial heritage.  The top attraction in Santo Domingo is the Alcazar de Colon, the palace of Colombus's son, Diego.  

Seaquarium

Not enough time to get a diving certification?  No problem!  This unique and innovative way of diving allows you to get upclose and personal with reef and coral life.  With the Seaquarium diving helmet you can have an underwater experience on par with diving, making this experience far more accessible for a wider variety of travelers.  

Mountain Tour

In addition to the alluring Caribbean waters, white sand beaches, bird watching and wildlife, Punta Cana has an impressive mountainous region to explore by car rental.  Take a zip lining tour above the dramatic landscape, or explore the mountainous terrain a bit more slowly by horse back.

Day Trips

Saona Island

Park your Punta Cana car rental at the marina and enjoy a day trip by catamaran to The Parque Nacional del Este.  Here, on the island of Saona, you can enjoy stunning and pristine white sand beaches and the Caribbean waters.  A relaxing and scenic tour that anyone can enjoy.

Shopping

Take a day trip by car rental in Punta Canas to shop away from the high priced resorts.  Everything from liquor to souvenirs will be up to a third cheaper if you buy it outside the resort complex of Punta Cana/Bavaro.  Haggling is not just acceptable but necessary but the items you can find are often one of a kind.  Steer clear of shops selling dried animals, including shells.  Not only is it illegal and may put you at risk if you purchase one of these items, but it is very bad for the local widlife, encouraging locals to kill these animals and diminishing reef life.

Altos de Chavon

Take a day trip to a 16th century Mediterranean village by car rental in Punta Canas.  The stylized village of Altos de Chavon is an artist's mecca featuring craft workshops, artist's studios, galleries, as well as a roman amphitheater, and an excellent archaeological museum.Altos de Chavon.
