? Full Description

The adventure kicks off with complimentary pickup from your resort, transporting you to the Buggy ranch headquarters. After a detailed safety briefing and driving instructions from your professional, bilingual guide, you'll be fitted with your helmet and safety gear. The excitement starts immediately as you hit the rugged, unpaved backroads. These paths are designed for maximum fun, allowing you to splash through mud and dust as you drive through local farms and tropical foliage.

The tour includes several exciting stops. First, you'll visit a typical Dominican farm where you are introduced to the island's culture and its main agricultural products. You'll have the chance to taste freshly made coffee, chocolate, and Mamajuana. Next, the caravan heads to the awe-inspiring Taino Cave (cenote), where you descend into a spectacular cavern to swim in the cool, blue freshwater pool. This natural sinkhole provides a perfect opportunity to wash off the trail dirt. The final leg of the journey leads to Macao Beach, the last undeveloped public beach in the area, offering time for a swim in the ocean waves before you head back to the ranch for the transfer back to your hotel.
