DESCRIPTION
Here’s perhaps your best opportunity to go off-limits and feel the adrenaline in Punta Cana, as you take the wheel of your very own off-road buggy across some of the most rugged terrain on the island. There’s no better way to come face-to-face with tropical nature than by racing through the most stunning backdrops on this 3-hour thrill ride on buggies. Trek into the backroads and hit the accelerator for real exhilaration as you head toward an abandoned quarry, a cave full of hidden waters, and the wide-open awesomeness of the Dominican Republic. This adventure also includes a visit to a working plantation for a look at how the locals make cocoa and coffee to round out a very stimulating day.
Gear up for the best buggy adventure in Punta Cana!
Your heart-pumping expedition starts out with pick-up aboard open-air transportation, which will take you northward from your Punta Cana resort to the rugged terrain that’s tucked away in the hidden paths of the Macao area.
Select from three vehicle types — a single-seater to keep the fun to yourself, a double-seater to share the thrills with a companion, or a four-seater to trek as a family and take on the secluded jungle landscapes together. Your knowledgeable guides will outfit you with the correct gear and give you a safety briefing, and all of these measures are designed to fully prepare you for an awesome journey ahead.
Admire breathtaking views and make thrilling memories
Once you’re all geared up with your helmet and you’re all ready to go, get your buggy’s motor running and set off into the vast Dominican jungle! Follow your guide and make a caravan with the other riders and passengers on this adventure, and feel the excitement coursing through your veins as you begin traversing the rugged landscape.
Feel the adrenaline pumping and your heart racing at top speed as you’re driving down the road less traveled, far from the comfort of your resort, taking in all the colors and textures of this land at full speed.
Visit an abandoned quarry and swim in a cave
As you continue feeding your need for speed, your Punta Cana buggies adventure will also take you toward an abandoned quarry, where you’ll have a wide open space to drive as fast as you’d like.
After your quarry adventure, the area’s backroads and mountain tracks will continue being your highway. Put the pedal to the metal and traverse the full gamut of terrain that the place has to offer. But of course, all the maneuvering in the jungle is thirsty work, so you’ll have time to park for a water break and rehydrate from all the adventure. Then cool down from the tropical heat by visiting Taino Cave, a hidden geological wonder with healing waters emanating from the ground. Wind it down at the cave and feel free to splash and swim for about 15 minutes to refresh before the final leg of your all-terrain expedition.
Pass through Dominican villages and visit a plantation
After you’ve refreshed in the cave, return to your buggy and continue pressing that gas pedal as you zoom through the wilderness. There’s nothing more exciting than being behind the wheel and watching all the incredible scenery all around you, and this exhilarating excursion will continue ramping up all the pure, unadulterated exploration and excitement as you keep riding along the hidden jungle paths of Punta Cana, passing through villages where you just might see smiling children and locals waving at you.
Toward the end of the activity, you’ll have the chance to visit a working plantation, where you’ll get a chance to attend a coffee and cacao demonstration. Get a look at how the locals create two of the famous flavors of Dominican Republic — coffee and chocolate. A guide will give you plenty of cool information about the cacao fruits and how they become that delicious chocolate and how the beans become the coffee we all enjoy. When your off-road adventure wraps up, take your buggy back to the Wild Tiger adventure center, where your open-air transportation will be on standby to take you back to your resort.
