Itinerary
First Stop: You will be picked up from your hotel in Punta Cana in the morning, at noon or in the afternoon, you will arrive at the 4x4 Atv & Utv Ranch, you will receive brief health and safety instructions from your friendly guide and this is when the fun begins. Start your engine and get ready for the adventure of your life.
Second Stop: You start the tour and discover spectacular places and feeling the fresh breeze while caressing your face. Travel through difficult roads between forests and lush tropical gardens, you will arrive at an organic farm. Here you will learn facts about coconut oil, tobacco, and rum. You will also taste the rich flavor of Dominican coffee and homemade chocolate.
Then we continue in search of a beautiful ecology. En route, we visit a river cave whose water is fresh, clean and Crystalline, Here we stop to take a dip in the river and or take a few pics of the cave. The ride throughout the tour is very pleasant.There we want to make the exception that there are gift shops around the cave, for those who wish to buy some gifts for their family and friends.
Our last stop is perhaps the most enjoyable of them all: A visit to a natural and wavy surfer’s beach which has a beautiful natural plateau and crystal-clear coastal waters. Here a photographer takes advantage of the beautiful and natural scenery and does a photo session of you and your loved ones. A family day full of eco activities and quad adrenaline that all are sure to enjoy.

Traveler reviews
Great Adventure for Familiea!!
great adventure for families! beach is stunning! tour is awesome! beautiful country! felix and crew was awesome! photographer also did amazing job!
Not what I expected.
A lot of selling of overpriced products throughout the activity. Buggies and the open air bus transport to the buggies are old and in need of updating. They blow a lot of exhaust.
Fun at Macao Beach, but Buggy Safety and Tour Experience Need Improvement
I’d rate the Punta Cana Wild Buggy Eco Adventure as somewhat good, but it definitely had its ups and downs. On the positive side, Macao Beach was beautiful and probably the highlight of the excursion. It was a nice place to relax for a bit and enjoy the scenery after the ride. That said, there were several issues that made the experience less enjoyable. The buggy itself didn’t feel safe or well-maintained — the gas pedal was sticking, the brake didn’t seem to work properly, and the steering wheel felt misaligned and unbalanced. It’s hard to fully enjoy the ride when you’re worried about the condition of the vehicle. The guide was okay but not particularly attentive. While he was somewhat professional, he seemed more interested in socializing with vendors and with friends along the route, which felt a bit awkward and detracted from the overall experience. The trail itself was very bumpy and not especially scenic, so don’t expect stunning views during the ride. The stop at the spring water cave was underwhelming as well — it wasn’t anything particularly memorable or unique. There were also two stops at vendor locations where there was a clear push to buy products. That’s fairly common on tours, but it did feel a bit excessive and disrupted the flow of the excursion. Overall, while there were a couple of enjoyable moments, especially at Macao Beach, the safety concerns with the buggy and the overall organization could use improvement.
Very commercial feel to this tour
After thoughtful consideration of reviews and buggy options we elected for Eco Tours. Booking was easy through Aviator, pick up was on time as scheduled. The poor rating came from the a few aspects, note - I do have a previous experience on a Buggy tour in Dominican. 1. Through our tour two of our 8 buggies kept breaking down or stalling out. 2. Our first stop was a 5 minute road drive to the cenote, then 5 minutes in the cave (very pretty), then 10 minutes ‘milling about’ while being asked to come see their gifts. 3. Our 2nd stop was 5 minutes back on the same road BACK to the coffee bean, jewelry etc. building. This building was in the same compound as the pick up registration point where we got the buggies. Very poor use of time, plus VERY commercial. We all felt like we were in a tv infomercial. 4. Our last stop to Macao beach was about a 20 minute drive, we finally hit some back roads and mud! 5. Macao beach - 20 minutes to spend in water or opportunity to buy from vendors. Beautiful beach with a few more waves than our resort , but very inhabited.
Great time
Awesome time! Kitson was fantastic. Would highly recommend! Great time
