Ride a 4x4 ATV through rural Punta Cana, stop for Dominican coffee, chocolate, rum, mamajuana, and tea, swim in a freshwater cave, then visit Macao Beach. Guides such as Felix and Luis Miguel add energy, but expect short riding stretches, sales pitches, and basic equipment.

“The ATV riding was a lot of fun, although shorter than anticipated. Felix was a fun and helpful guide. The water cave was a nice, quick stop, but the coffee/chocolate tasting wasn't the cultural experience I had hoped for. It was a sales pitch and time to buy Dominican products. The ride to Macao beach was the best part of the trip, and we enjoyed swimming for about 25 minutes. If you're really looking to get dirty (mud-soaked), go for the buggy rides. You stay pretty clean on the ATVs. The worst part of the experience was the shuttle. We received notification of our pick-up time and location less than…”

“This was a great excursion! Be prepared to get dirty. Lol. The guys leading the tour were funny and fun. The only issue we had was the driver who picked us up for the tour was not very friendly he didn’t call before the pick up to let us know he was on his way and he didn’t send a pic of the van so that we knew what to look for. Other than that the excursion itself was amazing. We really enjoyed the buggy, the horseback riding, the beach, the cave and the cigar, coco and coffee presentation. Hands down one of the best experiences I had.”
