On our second day we chilled at the pool and laid out on beach. It was a nice relaxing day and much needed for the next day we had ahead.

Day 3

So now you can see why we wanted to be well rested for the next day lol. Day three consisted of our first excursion of the trip. We went on the dune buggy/ATV excursion which consisted of us exploring parts of Punta Cana and learning a little about the Dominican culture. We each took turns operating the buggy which was a lot of fun. During the excursion we stopped at three different locations. The first stop was at a coca factory where they showed use how they make a variety of different natural products such as coconut oil, coffee beans, coca, and the ever so popular mama juana. Next we stopped at a cave where people were able to swim for a little. The water was 25 feet deep so us non-swimmers gladly looked from the sidelines lol. After the cave we stopped at Macao beach which was must needed. We all got soo dirty from the dust from the ride but we all really enjoyed. A lot of the scenery reminded me of Ghana. It was very nostalgic and nice to see how much African culture is present in the Dominican. It is apparent to see that a lot of Dominicans come from African desent. The artwork, food, and music definitely have African influence as well.

Day 4

Day four consisted of our second excursion which was a trip to the beautiful Saona Island. During the first part of the tour we took a speed boat to a natural swimming pool. Based on the pics you can see how heavenly it was. The water was so crystal clear & blue! It was such a sight to see. Once we got there we had to jump from the speed boat into the water. That idea kind of scared me since the water was waste deep. Thought I would sprain my ankle or something when I jumped in lol. I went for it anyway and was fine. After spending about 30 minutes there we headed to Saona Island. We were there for majority of the tour and it was pure bliss. The water was so clear and warm. It was definitely an experience I will never forget. After our time on Saona Island was complete we headed back to our destination on a catamaran. We enjoyed our journey back with some marenga music and dancing on the boat. 

Day 5

On day five we decided to head back to Macao beach to enjoy a day filled with fun in the sun! The beach is absolutely beautiful and almost everyone out there is trying to hustle lol Whither they're trying to sell you beach chairs or asking if you want to take pictures with a parrot, someone will come up to you trying to sell you something. Gotta commend their hustle! We were later treated to a delicious lunch before heading back to the resort.
