    Punta Cana Malibu Party Charter with DJ
    It’s a nonstop shindig once you board this Punta Cana Malibu party charter. Start with a snorkel session with a marine guide and a dip in a natural pool. When you climb back aboard the boat, you’re sure to have a blast with a well-known DJ Infiniti spinning the beats. Bartenders at the open bar hand out unlimited local and specialty drinks, while paparazzi are all on standby to capture a memento (own expense) of the outing.

    Dear Guest, The Royal program is the best program since you will be enjoying this experience with 2 dolphins and the high light of this attraction is the foot push which is the most memorable feel you will enjoy.
