Why Punta Cana is the best destination for a buggy tour

Punta Cana packs, into just a few kilometers, almost everything an off-road route could ask for: red-dirt trails through sugar cane fields, low jungle paths, freshwater cenotes and open beaches on the Atlantic. That's why buggy tours in Punta Cana are, alongside diving, the most booked activity in the eastern Dominican Republic.

Varied terrain on short routes

Routes toward Macao, Verón and Uvero Alto combine fast stretches of rural road with technical turns, puddles and sand dunes. A single two-to-three-hour ride goes from the red dust of the interior to the white sand of the coast, something rare among other adventure tours in the Dominican Republic.

Great weather all year round

With average temperatures between 79 and 88 °F (26–31 °C) and generally short rain showers, tours run 365 days a year. Mornings are ideal for the extreme routes and late afternoon is best for the sunset ride, when the light softens and the terrain cools down.

Minutes from the hotels in Bávaro and Cap Cana

Departure points are 10 to 30 minutes from the resorts in Bávaro, Cap Cana, Uvero Alto and Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ). We include hotel pickup and drop-off, so the excursion fits easily into half a day of vacation.

Local culture along the way

Every route crosses rural communities where we stop to try Dominican coffee, cacao and seasonal fruit. Our guides are locals who share the real history of the east of the country: sugar cane, coconut, fishing and the arrival of tourism. Adventure, yes, but also an honest slice of Dominican life.
