The experience
You start at the ranch base with a safety briefing and helmet, then take the controls of your own Polaris ATV. The ride covers muddy jungle trails and passes through rural Dominican landscape on the way to three stops. Hotel pickup is included, and the operator sends you a ticket with your exact pickup time from your resort or hotel in the Punta Cana area.
The first stop is a traditional Dominican home set in a quiet rural location. Here you watch the coffee roasting process and taste handmade chocolate, coconut oil and vanilla. The house also displays amber and larimar, gemstones found only in the Dominican Republic. From there you ride back into the jungle toward Cueva Taína, an indigenous cave named after the Taíno people who once lived on the island. A stone staircase leads down to the cenote's opening, where deep blue water surrounded by lush vegetation fills an underground chamber lit by natural light. You can swim in the cenote's crystal-clear water before riding on to the final stop.
Macao Beach is a public, undeveloped shoreline framed by palm and coconut trees, with white sand and clear water. You have time to swim, relax or photograph the beach before heading back to the ranch base. The total machine time for the day is 65 minutes of actual riding, with the rest of the four hours split between the three stops, safety instruction and transport.
