Punta Cana ATV Buggies Adventure from Santo Domingo Tour
The ATV Adventure in Punta Cana from Santo Domingo is one of the most exciting ways to explore the Dominican countryside. Departing from the capital, the journey takes you east to the Macao area of Punta Cana, where adrenaline and discovery await.
Drive your own ATV buggy through trails surrounded by sugarcane fields, forests, and rural villages. Along the way, you’ll stop at a traditional ranch to learn about the cultivation of coffee, cacao, and tobacco, staples of Dominican culture. Continue to a refreshing cenote (natural freshwater well) where you can swim, snorkel, or simply relax in the cool waters. Finally, enjoy free time at Macao Beach, one of the most beautiful white-sand beaches in Punta Cana with crystal-clear Caribbean waters.
