The current show line-up includes a Brazilian-themed Samba show, a modern take on the ‘90s hit movie The Mask, a Spartan acrobatic show inspired by the movie 300, and a time-traveling trip to the ’60s with the music of the Beatles. With shows Wednesday through Sunday and each one as lively as the next, this is an awesome experience!

Previous partygoers have noted that the bar area gets super busy once things kick off, and that it is definitely worth upgrading to a VIP table, this costs $125 in total, but comes with table service and perfect views of both stages as well as all the performances. Furthermore, skip the line with the entrance fee included for just $85!

Sunset Horseback Riding

The beauty of a Punta Cana sunset only gets better on horseback. This movie-like activity will bring out the romantic in anyone. The journey along the soft white sand with a golden sun beating off the palm trees and turquoise waters is not to be missed.

All skill levels are welcome as thorough instruction is given to those new to the saddle, and the horses used are well-trained and do most of the work for their new companions. One past rider who is an expert with horses praised the well-behaved animals, as well as the nice touch of a professional photographer who shoots a roll of each rider to ensure the experience isn’t soon forgotten.
