? Full Description

Your thrilling journey starts with convenient hotel pickup and transfer to the Buggy ranch base near Bávaro. After receiving safety instructions and gearing up with your helmet, you'll jump into your powerful buggy or ATV. The adventure immediately kicks off as you rev your engine and follow your guide onto the back roads. Be prepared to get covered in mud and dust as you maneuver through local farmland, past palm trees, and through natural obstacles.

The first stop is typically a Typical House or farm. Here, local guides explain the history and processing of popular Dominican products, and you'll get to taste homemade chocolate, locally grown coffee, and the potent Mamajuana liqueur. Next, the trek continues to a spectacular freshwater cenote cave (like the Taino Cave or Los Hoyos del Salado). Climb down into the cave to take a rejuvenating swim in the sparkling cool water. The final leg of the drive takes you to the iconic Macao Beach, where you can take photos, relax, and wash off the dust in the Caribbean Sea before the transfer back to your hotel.
