The experience

You get picked up from your hotel and driven to Bávaro Ranch, where a guide walks you through safety before you climb into a buggy or ATV. From there you're in control: steering through rural roads, mud-filled trails and tropical landscape for the adrenaline part of the day. The route takes you to Cenote Taino Cave, where you stop to swim in the refreshing water inside the natural cave itself, a break from the riding that most people don't expect to find on an ATV tour.

After the cenote, the guide takes you to a typical Dominican house where locals walk you through how coffee, cocoa and tobacco are grown and processed. You taste each one, mamajuana included, and get a real sense of what rural life looks like away from the resort. Then it's on to Macao Beach, one of the most beautiful stretches in the area, where you have time to swim, walk the sand or just sit and let the adrenaline settle before heading back to your hotel.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, Spanish and French.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Youth (5 to 17 years). Children under 5 can't be included in the booking.

Can I ride an ATV alone, or do I have to share?

You choose at checkout. Options include a single ATV for one person, a single ATV shared with one other rider, or a buggy for two, three or four people. Each person or pair gets their own vehicle to operate.

What is Cenote Taino Cave actually like when you get there?

Cenote Taino Cave is a natural sinkhole with crystal clear freshwater inside. You swim in the cave itself. It's a cool-off moment in the middle of the riding, and the water is refreshing after the mud trails.

Do I need any riding experience to do this?

No. The guide gives you a safety orientation at the ranch before you start, and the route is designed for all fitness levels. Children from age 5 can join if they're riding with an adult.

What do you actually taste at the Dominican house?

You taste coffee, cocoa and mamajuana: a traditional Dominican drink. The locals show you how each one is made, so you're learning the production before you taste it.

How much time do you actually spend on the beach?

Macao Beach is the final stop before you return to your hotel. You have time to swim, walk the sand and take photos, but it's not a long beach day. It's the relaxation part after the riding and cultural stops.
