Best Time To Visit
Punta Cana's best weather tends to be in late spring, around March to May, when you can expect warm temperatures (over 70 degrees every day), little rain, and there's no risk of hurricanes. Tropical storms are a possibility any time from June to December, while peak season is around January to April - when crowds from the north hit the beaches looking for a little winter sun.
Punta Cana Attractions and Activities

The coastline of the Dominican Republic, in the north of Punta Cana, is white sand bordered with green palm trees for as far as the eye can see. Beaches like Bavaro are some of the most favourite places to unwind and take the best sun bath while perfecting your tan.
2. Water Sports
If you've ever wanted to try water-skiing, jet skiing, wakeboarding, snorkelling, diving, or parasailing - heading to Punta Cana is a must. There is no shortage of expert companies offering exciting watersports adventures at a fraction of the amount it would cost in the USA.

Tips for your stay in Punta Cana
- Opt for staying in hostels as they are free.
- Research about the resort or hotel you have booked as all are not created equal - some are kid-centric, family-friendly and best for adults.
- Make sure you have at least $10 after you have deplaned as you have to pay a visitor fee to a bouncer which is a cash-only payment.
- Taxis are quite expensive to roam around the city unless you are travelling with a large group and all are ready to split the cost. It is advised to arrange airport transfers with the hotel as it’s the cheapest and smartest option.
- Carry enough cash (no worries about US dollars as they are accepted there) for the airport as well as to tip in Punta Cana.
