ATV Riding: Macao Beach, Water Cave & Organic Farm

You drive the buggy through forests and cliffs to three stops you choose the pace for.

A small-group buggy tour in the Dominican countryside where you operate your own vehicle to Macao Beach, an organic farm, and a natural water cave. Round-trip transportation from your pickup location is included, along with tastings of local products (coffee, chocolate, mamajuana and cigars) at the farm stop. The tour runs 3.5 hours with a live guide in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian or another language.

• Swim and explore water cave
• Return buggy to ranch

The experience

You pick up a buggy at the ranch and drive it yourself on rough roads through forests and tropical gardens. The first stop is an organic farm where you spend 30 minutes tasting and learning about Dominican crops (cacao, coffee, green tea, chocolate, mamajuana and cigars) before a 25-minute drive to the next location. The route is not paved, and you control the speed and the moment you move on, which changes how the day feels compared to sitting in a van.

Macao Beach comes next: a 25-minute drive to one of the country's most beautiful stretches of sand, backed by limestone cliffs and open to the Atlantic. You have time to swim, relax and walk, and the beach has food and beverage vendors if you want them. After another 25-minute drive, you reach a water cave 25 feet deep where swimmers jump into the freshwater pool and everyone photographs the rock formations. The cave is the last stop before a 15-minute drive back to the ranch.

Transportation to and from your pickup location is included in the price. The tour operates with a live guide and groups stay small. You can choose how many people ride in each buggy (options range from one adult per vehicle to three or four passengers sharing one), which affects both the cost and how the day moves. Children from age 3 can join, though the ride is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health, or during pregnancy.
