2.4×4 ATV Experience, Water Cave, Chocolate and Coffee Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,430 reviews · from $56

Ride a 4x4 ATV from a Punta Cana ranch through dirt roads and tropical farmland, stop for coffee, chocolate, rum, mamajuana, and tea, then swim in a freshwater cave and visit Macao Beach. Guides such as Felix and Luis Miguel add plenty of personality, but expect short riding time, sales pitches, and mixed equipment conditions.

“The ATV riding was a lot of fun, although shorter than anticipated. Felix was a fun and helpful guide. The water cave was a nice, quick stop, but the coffee/chocolate tasting wasn't the cultural experience I had hoped for. It was a sales pitch and time to buy Dominican products. The ride to Macao beach was the best part of the trip, and we enjoyed swimming for about 25 minutes. If you're really looking to get dirty (mud-soaked), go for the buggy rides.

Guides such as Coca Cola and Mr. Panda are praised for their energy. Expect dust, mud, crowds, and strong sales pitches at shopping stops.

“Pick up was easy, communication as well. Crew was good, gave us some tips and tricks. Driving a buggy was fun, lots of mud so prepare yourself with glasses and mouth cover. Traditional Dominican house does not exist, or does if its sales outside covered space, they show you beans of coffee, cocoa and leafs of tobacco. You can see how they roll cigars. No show of how to grind beans, just tools. Took 4 minutes max and then they are presenting products, to taste and see and to buy. Point is to take you there and spend money. This is really disappointing since we been in Egypt, Tunisia, Marakesh…”
