Drive a shared or private dune buggy through Punta Cana’s rural roads, stop for Dominican coffee, chocolate, and rum tasting, swim at Los Hoyos del Salado cave, and finish at Macao Beach. Guides such as Felix, known as El Gato Loco, and Kitson are often praised for keeping the convoy lively and organized.

“Here are some things I wish I knew before I went on this excursion. There are many of these tours, the big companies with large facilities and more modern equipment come with a large, (like 15-20 buggy convoy) tours. Lots of people with you at each stop. This tour was clearly one of the little guys, so equipment is a little rougher and facilities are basic, but our 11 person group did not feel crowded at the stops. Generally a tour guide makes or breaks the experience in most cases. We had Kitson, who was clear about safety and gave us the straight talk on local merchants. He was a…”

4×4 ATV Experience, Water Cave, Chocolate and Coffee Tasting

6.4×4 ATV Experience, Water Cave, Chocolate and Coffee Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,430 reviews · from $56

Ride a 4x4 ATV from a Punta Cana ranch through rural roads and tropical gardens, stopping for Dominican coffee, chocolate, rum, tobacco, and Mamajuana. You will visit a freshwater cave and Macao Beach before returning to the ranch. Guides such as Felix and Luis Miguel are often praised, but ATV time is limited and sales stops can feel pushy.

“Overall, well worth the experience for the price. As others have commented would take the ATV over the buggy, you will still get muddy but significantly less. The views of the cave and beach were well worth it. Just to nitpick, they will really try to push the photos at the end of the tour to the tune of $80 (which is high by US standards). If you really want them, they are willing to negotiate significantly. The equipment is also a bit beat and has seen better days, only one set of handbrakes worked on our ATV.”

Horseback Riding and ATV or Buggy to Water Cave and Macao Beach

11.Horseback Riding and ATV or Buggy to Water Cave and Macao Beach

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 533 reviews · from $76

Ride a horse through Dominican farmland, then drive your own ATV or buggy along rough country roads to an organic farm, a 25-foot freshwater cave, and Macao Beach. Guides such as Joshua, Gary, Reginald, and Vladimir have earned praise for keeping groups together. Expect mud, crowds, and a short horseback segment rather than a long beach ride.

“Did this over my birthday trip with friends and family to the DR. While we did enjoy the activity as a whole, the horseback experience did not live up to expectations. The photos promoting that activity shows you literally on the beach coastline. That was NOT what we received. It was more of a road behind the beach with beach views. We did not go on the actual beach itself and the ride lasted 10 minutes at best. Please read carefully as we didn’t know that or that the water cave visit was in and out. You jump in, climb out and head back to your ATV or buggy. All…”

“Expect to throw away your clothes after this! super fun - but its as muddy as you see in the pics! Bring a waterproof pouch for phone and cash - there is a place to buy "Traditional DR Products" - its a bit of a pushy sales pitch - but -everyone's trying to make a buck. The buggy ride itself was super fun - the cave is a 'at your own risk' - we were there during a very crowded time - the visit to Macao beach was lovley - you are in good hands with "Mr. Panda"!”
