Punta Cana Hurricane Season

My fiancé and I are thinking of going to Punta Cana for our honeymoon. We are getting married this September and going on our honeymoon the day after, but I am told it is hurricane season. Has anyone been during this time? I've heard that it just could mean that it rains more than usual. Thanks!!

Yes, it is hurricane season in Punta Cana in September.

However, this does not mean that you will definitely experience a hurricane during your honeymoon. The hurricane season in Punta Cana typically runs from June 1st to November 30th, with the peak of the season occurring in September and October. During this time, the chances of a hurricane making landfall in Punta Cana are about 1 in 25.

If you are concerned about the possibility of a hurricane ruining your honeymoon, you can purchase travel insurance. This will protect you from financial losses if your trip is canceled or delayed due to a hurricane.

Even if a hurricane does not make landfall in Punta Cana, it can still affect your trip. Hurricanes can cause heavy rain, flooding, and wind damage. This can make it difficult to get around and can also damage or destroy your hotel or other accommodations.

If you are planning to travel to Punta Cana during hurricane season, it is important to be prepared. Be sure to pack plenty of food and water, and have a plan in place in case you need to evacuate.

• Book your flights and accommodations in advance. This will help you secure the best rates and availability.
