? Full Description

Your adventure begins with convenient round-trip transportation from your hotel to the Buggy Ranch located in the Punta Cana interior. After a safety briefing, you'll climb into your choice of a single or shared Dune Buggy (or ATV) and kick the excitement into high gear. You’ll follow your professional guide caravan-style, zipping over hills and through winding dirt trails surrounded by lush tropical vegetation. Be prepared to get muddy!

The adventure includes three essential stops. First, you'll visit a traditional Dominican country house located amidst the plantations. Here, you'll gain insight into the production of local staples and have the chance to sample delicious, handmade organic coffee, cocoa, and Mamajuana rum. Next, you’ll drive to a hidden cenote (underground pool). Descend into the cool, dark cavern for a refreshing and unforgettable swim in its natural, turquoise spring water. The final highlight is the breathtaking Macao Beach, where you'll have free time to swim in the Caribbean Sea and take photos of the beautiful coastline before completing your buggy ride and returning to the ranch for your transfer home.
