My brother is getting married in Punta Cana, DR in October at the Barcelo Resort. I was wondering if anybody had any ideas for something I could do for him down there before his big day. He is 27 and really into sports. Not really sure which way it could go, but I'm open to anything since I really haven't had to much time to research any ideas yet. Thanks in advance!

How does one explore the shopping, the "downtown", meaning is there a way to jump on a bus and just explore on ur own, no tour guides, just go anywhere, and is it safe? also what kind of shopping is there close to the hotel zone, Ill be staying at the Royal Suites Turquesa in April

What is the best and most economical way of getting from Gran Bahia in Punta Cana to Gran Bahia El Portillo in Samana for 2 adults and 2 kids 7&10. We are relatively adventurous and do not mind travelling on local transportation though on such a long trip I would like a fairly decent bus service (ie. no livestock allowed). Bus? taxi? helicopter tour? boat tour? island tour? Open to all suggestions. Thanks in advance to anyone who answers. Emilia
