? Overview

✅ Highlights

• Drive your own buggy along muddy tracks, hills, and coffee/cocoa plantations.

• Visit Macao Beach, away from the major tourist zones, to enjoy crystal-clear waters.

• Swim in a tranquil, underground cenote (known as the “Indigenous Springs”) — about 30 minutes of free time to explore.

• Taste local flavors: there’s a coffee test, a “Macao test,” and a mamajuana test included.

• Hotel pickup and drop-off included for convenience.

? Full Description

After being picked up at your hotel, you’ll be taken into the lush interior of Punta Cana, where rolling terrain is dotted with coffee and cacao plantations. Before you set off, guides explain how to safely drive the buggy. Then, the real adventure begins: buggies roar through muddy trails, riverbeds, hills, and open countryside.
Your first stop is the secluded Macao Beach, a stretch of sand untouched by major resorts, offering a peaceful and scenic break. Next, the tour leads deeper inland toward what is called the “Indigenous Springs” – a secret cenote. You’ll leave the buggies and spend about half an hour exploring this underground pool, with the option to swim in its calm, turquoise waters. Finally, after an unforgettable ride and nature immersion, you’ll return by buggy to your pickup point and be dropped back at your accommodation to conclude your ~4-hour experience.
