If you’re planning on visiting the Dominican Republic anytime soon. You may be considering visiting Punta Cana as your travel destination of choice. This beautiful location has plenty to offer vacationers, including gorgeous beaches delicious food. Plenty of exciting activities to get involved in during your stay. To make sure that you have the best possible trip to Punta Cana and to help you plan out your itinerary when you get there, be sure to check out these 5 things to do in Punta Cana.

1) Getting around

Most visitors to Punta Cana will fly into Las Americas International Airport (PUJ). From there, you can either take a taxi or catch a shuttle service (aka collectivo) into Playa Bavaro. It’s also possible and highly recommended! to rent a car and explore on your own. Of course, it helps if you have experience driving on foreign roads or have time to practice before you arrive. And, unless it’s your final destination. Plane your punta cana trip with Spirit Airlines Flights and get an exclusive discount. Be sure that you’ll park somewhere safe when you reach your stop for the day; we can’t emphasize that enough! Trust us: No one wants their rental car getting jacked at an isolated beach resort outside of town.

2) Eat at local restaurants

A true Caribbean experience is only a good local restaurant away. The Dominican Republic boasts some of the most diverse cuisine on Earth, and I recommend leaving your resort for at least one night to try it. Head down to Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club or Mii Resort for top-notch dining, but if you want authentic cuisine, stay near or venture over to La Altagracia Province. You’ll be treated with some of the world’s best food, right along with amazing views of sunsets and tropical scenery.

3) Stay at a resort with a great beach

The first thing you’ll want to look for when choosing a resort is how beautiful and safe the beach it has. If you plan on spending most of your time at the resort, consider staying somewhere that offers several amenities for kids and adults, so everyone can enjoy themselves. I would recommend checking out BarceloBavaro Beach Palace in Punta Cana or The Explorean Cozumel All Inclusive Hotel & Spa if you’re looking for resorts with great beaches. Enjoy water sports: Did you know that almost all resorts offer water sports as part of their daily activity packages? Whether it’s jet skiing, windsurfing, or parasailing, there’s bound to be something that interests you!

4) Play golf

When was the last time you played golf? It’s okay if you can’t remember; many people have completely stopped playing one of America’s favorite sports. Golf isn’t just for old guys and country clubs anymore, though. Most cities have at least one public course where anyone can swing a club for a reasonable price (or even free). The best way to make golf exciting again is by taking on new challenges that force you out of your comfort zone—like hitting off mats or trying a new par-3 course. You may find yourself surprised at how much fun you still have with golf after all these years. In fact, it might become one of your favorite go-to activities on your next vacation with Book Spirit Airlines using the code Fly20. Get benefits like extra legroom, top-notch food, priority services, and best-in-class entertainment with business class booking!

5) Shop around town

It’s not just a saying—if you want to experience local culture, buy from local vendors. If there are artsy craft shops or food markets, head in. Not only will you be supporting local businesses and producers, but you can also learn about new products and find items that aren’t available back home. Immerse yourself! You don’t need an appointment with a tour guide or someone from hotel concierge services; simply explore on your own. Take advantage of modern conveniences like Google Maps (or their mobile app). When planning itineraries so that you don’t get lost while exploring off-the-beaten path attractions nearby your hotel.
