Where is My CanaTransfers Driver?

Terminal A Meeting Point: Once you exit the glass doors into the fresh air, look for the “Pre-booked/Tour Operator” area. Your driver will be standing in the designated waiting zone holding a CanaTransfers digital tablet or a professional sign with your name.

Terminal B Meeting Point: Terminal B is more organized but can be busier. Exit the customs area and follow the signs to Transport/Taxi. Look for our uniformed driver near the Cafeteria/Meeting area. We stay away from the chaotic taxi lines to ensure a calm greeting.

Things to do and visit near Secrets Tides Punta Cana

While the resort offers everything you could want, the surrounding region of La Altagracia is rich with culture and adventure. Here are the top sites to visit, along with their distance from the hotel:

1. Sirenis Aquagames Water Park (1.1 miles)
Located just a short drive or a long beach walk away, this is one of the largest water parks in the Caribbean. While the resort is adults-only, the water park offers a fun excursion for those who love high-speed slides and wave pools.

2. Macao Beach (6.1 miles)
Known as one of the few remaining “public” beaches in the area, Macao Beach is famous for its golden sands and surfable waves. It is a popular spot for buggy tours and local seafood shacks where you can enjoy fresh fish right on the sand.

3. Cana Bay Golf Club (10.4 miles)
Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to this championship course designed by Nicklaus Design. The course meanders through the Dominican landscape, providing a challenging yet beautiful game for players of all levels.

4. Higuey and the Basilica of Our Lady of Altagracia (28 miles)

5. Scape Park at Cap Cana (35 miles)
While further away, this natural theme park is worth the journey. You can swim in the “Hoyo Azul” (a stunning blue cenote), go zip-lining, or explore ancient caverns. A private transfer is highly recommended for this full-day excursion.

6. Saona Island (Excursion Departure)
To reach Saona Island, you will typically be driven to the fishing village of Bayahibe (about 60 miles away) to board a catamaran. It is widely considered the most beautiful island in the Dominican Republic, featuring crystal-clear waist-deep water.
