? Full Description

Your half-day adventure begins with hotel pickup via an open-air safari truck that takes you to the ranch base located in the Macao area. After a quick briefing on safety rules and operating the 4x4 buggies, you'll hit the dusty and muddy trails. This exhilarating drive takes you deep into the rural Dominican landscape, passing through local villages and farmland. The first major stop is typically the cenote, a beautiful underground cavern formed by ancient Taino rivers. Here, you'll have time to jump in and swim in the cool, clear waters. Back on the road, you'll visit a local typical house to taste authentic Dominican products like fresh organic cocoa, coffee, and the local potent liqueur, Mamajuana. The tour culminates at Macao Beach, where you can spend time on the white sands and swim in the Atlantic waves before returning to the ranch for your transfer back to the hotel.
