The experience

You drive the buggy yourself on a two-hour off-road circuit built inside the park's abandoned mine and exclusive race track: no public roads, maximum security, and a professional guide alongside you. The route passes through jungle terrain and a Dominican village, so you're navigating real landscape, not a loop. Speed and adrenaline come from the terrain and the driving, not from a tame path.

After the ride, you swim in Cenote Blue Lagoon to cool down, then move to the Waterfall Pool surrounded by natural forest. A typical Dominican lunch arrives between activities, fueling the rest of your day. Bilingual staff (English, Spanish, French, German and one additional language) brief you on safety and equipment before you start, and guides stay with you throughout. Round-trip shared bus transfers from your hotel to the park bookend the whole experience.

The buggy seats one, two, three or four people depending on which option you choose at checkout, so you can ride solo, bring a partner, or travel with family in the same vehicle. Closed sports shoes are mandatory during activities. Bring a towel, bathing suit and a change of clothes. Lockers are available if you need to store personal items while you ride (small additional cost). Drivers must be at least 18 with a valid license. Passengers need a minimum height of 1.30 meters (4.27 ft).

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, Spanish, French, German and Russian.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (6 to 12 years); Infant (under 6).

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What's the abandoned mine like on the buggy ride?

The abandoned mine is the centerpiece of the off-road circuit: an exclusive race track built inside it where you drive the buggy yourself on terrain that's challenging enough to feel real but designed with maximum security. It's not a historical tour of the mine. It's the landscape you navigate.

Can I ride alone or do I have to go with a group?

You choose at checkout: single, double, triple or quadruple buggies, so you can ride solo, bring one or two passengers, or fill a four-seat vehicle. Either way, you're driving your own buggy on the same off-road circuit.

How does the cenote swim fit into the day?

Cenote Blue Lagoon comes after the two-hour buggy ride, so you jump in to cool down and refresh before lunch. The Waterfall Pool follows, giving you a second water stop surrounded by forest before the day ends.

What do I need to bring and wear?

Closed sports shoes are required during the activities. Bring a towel, bathing suit, sunscreen, and a change of clothes. Light and comfortable clothing works for the buggy ride. Flip-flops and sandals are fine once activities finish. Personal items go in lockers (small additional cost) while you ride.

Does the price include the lunch and hotel pickup?

Yes, typical Dominican lunch (without drinks), all equipment, training, safety briefing, access to the park's areas, bilingual guides, and round-trip shared bus transfers from your hotel are all included. Drinks, snacks, lockers, photos and tips are separate.
