Route
How does the day work?
Your private ride leads into a Bávaro coastal cruise with reef snorkeling before drinks at the natural pool.
- 180 min
1. Bávaro coast
You snorkel at a coral reef before the boat reaches the natural pool. A floating bar serves drinks while your group spends time in shallow water.
The full outing takes 5 hours including transport. Of that, 3 hours are for the boat program. Hotel return follows the cruise along the Bávaro coast.
Pickup and meeting point
- Arrange the start: The cruise doesn't have a fixed daily departure time. Check the agreed start and hotel meeting point before planning the rest of your day.
- Pickup timing: Collection is scheduled 10 minutes before the activity. Your assigned time is part of the hotel arrangements.
- Cap Cana hotels: Transfers from Cap Cana resorts may carry a surcharge. Your hotel location determines whether that additional pickup charge applies.
Before you book
- Cap Cana pickup may cost extra. That surcharge isn't part of your tour price.

Good to know
Know before you go
Strollers and service animals are allowed, with infants seated on an adult's lap. The outing isn't recommended during pregnancy. Your booking must include an adult, even though tickets also exist for children and infants coming with the group.
Cap Cana resort pickup may carry an extra charge. It isn't included automatically in the tour's stated price. Check your hotel's collection terms before paying so the private transport arrangement is clear for the whole party.
The pickup window is 10 minutes before the arranged departure. There isn't a fixed daily sailing time to plan around on your own. Your start needs agreement first, followed by the collection instructions for your hotel.
The quoted base rate applies to 10 to 15 adult tickets. The separate 'more guests' option requires over 15 guests despite a booking limit of 15. Ask Bia travels to accept your group size before booking the larger option.
Snorkeling gear is provided and there's a restroom aboard. Photos and tips are outside your booking price. Your mobile ticket follows instant booking acceptance, but it doesn't settle the group conditions or any extra charge for your hotel pickup.
Poor weather can cancel the sailing. For your own cancellation, a full refund requires at least 24 hours before departure. You don't get a refund after that cutoff, so the agreed sailing time matters when deciding whether to cancel.

People also ask
- How much is the Bia travels private catamaran in Bávaro?
The cruise costs from $90 per adult for 10 or more. It's priced per person even though the boat is private. Smaller adult groups have different rates. Younger guests have separate ticket bands and don't count toward that adult requirement.
- How long is the Bia travels catamaran trip?
The overall outing is 5 hours with 3 hours aboard. Hotel transfers are part of the day beyond that boat time. Your departure is arranged rather than fixed, so the hotel collection details are needed before fitting another activity around the cruise.
- Is the Bia travels catamaran shared with other groups?
No, your group gets a private catamaran for the 3-hour boat program. The itinerary combines snorkeling with the Bávaro natural pool. Music and an open bar are included, so the private arrangement still has the character of a party cruise along the coast.
- What can you eat and drink on the Bia travels catamaran?
Nachos and seasonal fruit are included, with alcohol for guests aged 18 and up. The open bar also forms part of the booking. Luxury liquors cost extra when requested, so the included drinks shouldn't be treated as every brand your group might want.
- Does Bia travels provide a restroom and snorkeling equipment?
Yes, the catamaran has a restroom and snorkeling gear is included. Both are part of the 3-hour boat outing. You still need to arrange the daily departure with Bia travels, since those onboard provisions don't establish a fixed start time for your group.
