Why the buggy tour is a Punta Cana must
If you want one adrenaline-fueled excursion during your Punta Cana trip, the buggy tour is it. You drive your own 4x4 buggy through Dominican backcountry — mud puddles, cacao and coffee plantations, traditional houses and a Taino cave with an underground freshwater cenote.
The tour ends at Macao Beach, a wild Atlantic-facing stretch of sand with crashing surf and zero hotels. Bring goggles for the cenote swim.
Buggy 4×4: ruta y diferencias con el ATV
El buggy es un 4×4 de dos plazas — uno conduce y otro acompaña. Es la opción ideal para parejas, padres con hijos adolescentes o amigos que quieren compartir la experiencia. La ruta atraviesa caminos rurales, plantaciones de caña y bosque seco hasta llegar a Playa Macao para nadar.
Si vienes solo y prefieres una experiencia más adrenalínica conduciendo tu propio vehículo, mira nuestra opción de ATV (quad). Mismo tipo de ruta, vehículo individual.
