Take the wheel and head into Punta Cana’s back country. From the ranch in Macao you’ll drive your own quad or buggy along private trails – mud, open track, and countryside most visitors never see from a resort.
Midway you’ll stop at Domitai Park, where a private cenote cave called Cueva Chiquita opens into cool, clear water. Dry off over a tasting of organic Dominican coffee, chocolate, tea and mamajuana, all made the traditional way, then take some free time in a local village before the ride back.
A word on what you will actually be driving: you choose a quad or a buggy, and either way you drive it yourself rather than riding along behind a guide. Drivers need to be eighteen or over; passengers can be as young as four, so a family can split across vehicles with one licensed adult per machine.
Expect to get dirty. These are working country trails rather than a groomed track, and mud is part of the appeal rather than a bad-weather exception – wear clothes you do not mind ruining, and bring a change for the ride home. The cenote cave is reached on foot over uneven ground, which is the part of the day to think twice about if stairs or loose footing are difficult for you.
Want more than one activity in the day? Domitai Park Punta Cana, where this tour stops for the cenote, also runs a full 7-hour day of its own: dune buggies, a zipline, horseback riding and a cenote swim.
