ATV riding in El Limón: Horseback, canoe & lunch includedEl Limón Eco Adventure is a full-day tour combining horseback riding, ATV riding, traditional canoe navigation and ranch activities in the Dominican Republic. You start at a family farm tasting cacao and coffee, paddle through Parque Nacional Laguna El Limón, ride horses along Playa El Limón's white sand, learn cigar rolling at Rancho Wild District over lunch, then drive a 4-wheel ATV down rural roads to the beach for swimming time.
