Itinerary and highlights
Take a thrilling, “low to the ground” buggy adventure to see a stunning view of Macao beach and stop for a swim in the gorgeous blue waters. Stop in a typical Dominican house to see how cocoa and coffee are made. Speed down the path to an ancient cave, exploring and swimming in the cave’s natural pool. This is a fun, local, muddy adventure where you will have the chance to discover a bit of the real Dominican Republic.You will be picked up by an open-air truck “safari-style” and once arrived at the ranch will be greeted by the tour guides. After receiving brief safety instructions, the adventure starts. You will have a great time driving through the mud and trying the local coffee and cocoa.In case of rain you will get very dirty, totally covered in mud. If the path is dry, than lots of dust. You’ll swim in a really cool cenote (Hoyos del Salado) and go to Macao beach which is so beautiful. These two stops are definitely the best part of this excursion. The tour it’s around 4/5 hours of time including the hotel transfer. You get to see the real Dominican countryside.
