Scape Park Sunshine Cruise at Cap Cana
Description
Spend a leisurely afternoon aboard a catamaran on this 2.5-hour snorkel and party cruise. Depart from the swanky marina of Cap Cana, one of the most exclusive spots in the Caribbean, and capture views of this affluent district’s gorgeous beaches and soaring bluffs. Feed fish as you snorkel, and then visit the waist deep Juanillo sandbar also called the ''Natural pool". Did we mention the open bar?

Mr. Tirson made sure our pick up was smooth and fun! Playing music and just engaging with everyone in our group. Mr. Piña was a great tour guide. Helpful and fun. Made sure that everyone was taken care of on our catamaran. Had a great attitude. We got stuck a couple of times and were a little disappointed in the snack options but everything else was great. The rest of the crew were nice and attentive as well.
My family and I had a great time. The park is beautiful and large. Joan treated us super well
If you’re looking for the ultimate nature adventure in Punta Cana, Scape Park is simply the best. From the moment you arrive, you can feel that this is not just another excursion. it’s a full experience. What truly sets Scape Park apart is that it’s the only park in Punta Cana with two real, natural cenotes. The Blue Hole is absolutely breathtaking — crystal-clear turquoise water surrounded by lush greenery — and the cave swim is just as magical. Don’t be fooled by “cenotes” or “rivers” in other parks around Bávaro that are man-made or artificial. Here, everything feels authentic, untouched, and natural. Another thing we loved is the exclusive free-flow concept. You’re not rushed from one activity to another. You can enjoy more than 15 attractions at your own pace, repeat your favorites as many times as you want, and there are no surprise extra costs. It feels premium, organized, and stress-free. The highlight of our tour was definitely the Superman Zipline flying headfirst over the jungle is an adrenaline rush like no other — and of course the stunning Blue Hole cenote. If you want adventure, nature, freedom, and real Dominican beauty all in one place, Scape Park is hands down the top choice in Punta Cana. Highly recommended!
We stayed a week - 9/15 to 9/19. This was Hurricane season (we checked weather report before we arrived-no hurricanes predicated). But it rained for 20 minutes, off and on, and there was thunder and lightning, and it was warm rain, so we didn't mind. And it was still a very beautiful place. The rooms were cheaper due to hurricane season and the beaches were filled with seaweed due to hurricane season, but we didn't mind at all. The staff were AMAZING! Everyone so friendly and ready to help. Our personal concierge- Udomar, was charming and on top of everything we needed. The restaurants were all great with delicious food. Our favorites were Candela (caribbean/dominican food) and Touro (steak house). We also treated ourselves to massage and hyrdo therapy at the luxurious spa. Also amazing! There was great music each night, and always something to do. The only thin we didn't like was being the uexpected sales pitch to get free breakfasts and gift certficates in exchange for listening to vacation packages at their sister resort- Secrets. We accepted and it took up most of our 2nd day. Would say no to that the next time. They need to be more honest about this, because we felt they were a little deceptive. And no one wants to go on vacation and have someone try to sell you something. Other than that, everything was amazing and I give 4.5 stars. If it wasn't for the sales pitch, I would hhave given 5 stars. We will definitely come back!
The catamaran cruise was alright - just ok. Nothing special at all. The boat was really used and old. Matter of fact only one of the engines was working. The staff were very nice and friendly. The staff was professional, safety focused but was only working with what they had to work with. The beer keg was NOT on ice at all, so you got warm foamy beer. The mixed drinks are from cheap, bottom self liquors. The sea weed during our trip was horrible and the smell was sickening - terrible (August 2025).
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re glad to hear our crew made you feel safe and welcome, though we’re truly sorry the cruise didn’t meet your expectations. We take your feedback seriously regarding the condition of the boat, the beverages, and overall experience. Your comments will be reviewed with our operations team so we can improve. We also understand the inconvenience caused by seaweed, unfortunately, it’s a natural occurrence that can be unpredictable, especially during the summer months. We appreciate your honesty and hope we’ll have the chance to provide you with a much better experience in the future.
If anything, communication was the main issue. Especially with The Royalton Excursions. Either that or that particular staff member (Julio) was in on the scam with Scape. What he told us when we booked our excursion and what was expected when we arrived at the marina was not the same thing. Unfortunately, once we arrived, Scape Park wanted $900 in addition to the $900 we had already paid for a 4 hour private catamaran experience for our family. We refused to pay the additional amount after traveling 40 Minutes to get there. They left us stranded at the marina with no way to get back to our resort for hours with 25 members of our party. Small children and 2 elderly parents, in the heat & sun at the marina. And, we totally missed out on our catamaran excursion. And, lost most of the hours of our day, waiting around on concrete with no water, food or even a place to sit.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We would like to provide some important clarification regarding your experience. According to our confirmed records, your booking was made and paid for a total of 15 guests. However, upon arrival at the marina, your group attempted to board with 24 people — meaning 9 additional guests who were not included in the original reservation or payment. In an effort to assist and show goodwill, we offered you a 50% discount for the extra participants, which is far beyond what most service providers would extend in such a case. However, this offer was declined, and your group insisted on boarding without paying the difference. With respect, we must emphasize that no business can be expected to provide services to unpaid guests, and for this reason, your suggestion that this was a "scam" is both inaccurate and unfair. If anything, we were the ones placed in a difficult situation by an attempt to receive services for more guests than were actually paid for. Additionally, we would like to clarify that your purchase was made through a third-party tour operator (Nexus Tours). If there was any misunderstanding at the time of booking, it should be addressed directly with them, as we do not control or oversee the details they communicate to their clients. At Scape Park, we pride ourselves on honest, professional service and deeply value all of our guests. We hope this clears up the misunderstanding, and we remain available to support you in contacting your tour provider should you need further assistance. Sincerely, Customer Care Team Scape Park
This was so fun the guys (Lewis and Victor) only 2 names I can remember at the monet and the older guy, it was his first day he was awesome! They are amazing through out the entire process. They kept the moral so fun up beat with the music and dancing and drinks of course. The lunch on the beach was also really good. I will be returning. SO MUCH FUN!
We took a private cruise tour of about 30 people on the Sunshine. We had a great time! Our family enjoyed every minute of it. We pulled up to the boat dock and it looked very abandoned However, the tour operators were there and everything turned out great. Worth the costs as we travel on cruise ship(s) often and some excursions don’t offer anything. Rum & Vodka on the boat -along with Chips & salsa provided. *** beware*** if you intentionally want, you could get really intoxicated!! Average cost of $89 per person Plus we provided tips to both the van driver and boat crew.
Been here to Punta Cana before but never tried an excursion. After some research, we wanted to snorkle, and this was a great option. We were picked up from our hotel and a 10 to 15 minute drive to the Marina. Boarding boat was quick and off we went. The ride out to the snorkel area was long as the water is not that deep (one engine died as it was caught in the sand) Finally we arrived at snorkeling spot and water was somewhat rough, but nice location. Saw a good amount of smaller fish. Then we boarded after a half hour and off to a sand bar....were in water for another half hour and slow trip back. Good way to breakup the vacation.
One of my favourite holiday experiences ever! We did a full day experience – morning at Scape Park and then Sunshine Cruise in the afternoon. We had time to do the main zipline course and visit Hoyo Azul before lunchtime. I highly recommend buying the photos package because they take so many and they're really excellent and high-quality. The Sunshine Cruise around Cap Cana was just incredible! We saw lots of colourful fish, made new friends, and just totally relaxed in the beautiful turquoise water... Special shoutout to Jose for going out of his way to take beautiful couple shots throughout our experience :) Loved it!
