Domitai Park: Dune Buggies, Horseback & Cenote LunchYou’ll jump right into Dominican adventure at Domitai Park: drive dune buggies over rugged trails, ride horseback beneath swaying palms, swim in a private cenote’s cool waters, then share lunch with new friends before joining a lively Mardi Gras carnival as evening falls.
Punta Cana ATV Adventure: Drive, Swim & Macao BeachAn ATV and buggy adventure in Punta Cana where you drive your own vehicle off-road through rural countryside, stop to swim in a crystal-clear underground cenote, taste Dominican coffee, cacao and Mamajuana at a traditional ranch, and end at Macao Beach.

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.Is it for me?Book this if you want to drive yourself instead of riding as a passenger — the trails are muddy and the pace is yours to set, which is what makes an afternoon of riding feel like freedom instead of a guided tour. The cenote swim and Macao Beach finish mean you're not just bouncing between stops; you're in the water and on the sand, not watching from a distance.
