What to Pack for a Trip to Punta Cana

Are you planning a trip to Punta Cana? Whether you're looking for a relaxing beach vacation or an adventure-filled getaway, there are a few essential items you should pack. From waterproof clothing to water shoes, here's what you need to know about packing for your trip to Punta Cana. If you plan to go out at night in Punta Cana's many nightclubs and bars, bring appropriate attire. You should also bring a poncho in case of rain and water shoes if you plan to participate in water sports or snorkeling. If you decide to hike the various mountains, fish or visit some waterfalls, you'll want to have versatile clothing.

Opt for waterproof shorts or tights, tank tops and sports shoes. Punta Cana is a small town that offers more than 32 kilometers of beach territory, golf courses and some local places to try local cuisine. To make the most of your trip, it's important to come prepared with the right items. Bring a power bank or extra batteries so you don't have to worry about recharging your phone or camera. The driest months are from February to April, although the driest months in Punta Cana are as rainy as the wettest months on the south coast. A popular destination for tourists from all over the world, Punta Cana welcomes swimmers, divers and beach lovers to enjoy its year-round tropical climate and beautiful beaches.

You may decide to try your hand at kayaking, bodyboarding, or any of the many water sports you can explore in Punta Cana. Most large resorts in Punta Cana serve bottled or filtered water (free of charge) and provide bottled water in the bathrooms for brushing your teeth. Tap water in Punta Cana isn't safe to drink, but instead of using endless single-use plastic water bottles, opt for a greener option. While Spanish is the official language, most people in tourist cities like Punta Cana speak quite competent English. Tapas may vary depending on what activities you plan to participate in, so keep this in mind when deciding what to pack for Punta Cana.

If you feel a more adventurous atmosphere, climb the Bahoruco River to La Plaza, explore the iguanas and flamingos in the Oviedo Lagoon, ride dune buggies in Punta Cana or go ziplining in the mountainous jungle.
