ATV Riding in Punta Cana: Farm, Cave & BeachATV riding in Punta Cana puts you behind the handlebars of your own buggy or ATV for a four-hour eco-adventure through rugged Dominican terrain.

Round-trip transportation, safety gear, helmet, and a guide in multiple languages are included; children from age 4 can ride.Is it for me?Book the single ATV if you want to ride solo and control the pace yourself; choose the double ATV or buggy if you'd rather share the ride and split the cost with a travel partner. The family buggy works best for groups with children, since kids from age 4 can ride along without operating their own machine.

Since all three activities are included and the guide handles the setup for each one, you're not choosing between them—you're trying all three in the time you have.
Snorkeling at Saona Island by speedboat: Private tour with lunchA private speedboat tour to Saona Island, off the Dominican Republic's southern coast, where you snorkel at three named sites—Turtle Lagoon, Starfish Bay and the natural pool—with gear provided and a guide in English or Spanish.

Santo Domingo Colonial Zone Walking Tour: Beer and Coffee TastingThis small group or private walking tour explores Santo Domingo's Colonial Zone, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the first European settlement in the Americas, led by a bilingual local guide through cobblestone streets and historic landmarks. The tour includes admission to the Taíno Museum and the Cathedral of Santa María la Menor (when open), a specialty coffee or tea, local beer tasting, and mama juana—a Dominican spiced rum—all within two hours. The guide may adjust the route order for the best experience, and museum access depends on weekly closures: the Taíno Museum closes Mondays, the cathedral closes Sundays, and the Alcázar de Colón and Pantheon are currently viewable from outside only.Is it for me?Choose the small group option if you want to meet other travelers exploring the Colonial Zone together, or upgrade to private if your group prefers the guide's full attention.
