Take a 4WD buggy from Punta Cana into rugged backroads that thread plantations, a river cave, and the raw surf of Macao Beach. This four-hour safari blends muddy tracks, local food stops, and shoreline swims for an off-the-beaten-path view of the Dominican countryside.

A dusty trail opens like a challenge: sun-backed palms lean over a rutted track as a convoy of 4WD buggies kicks up salt-scented spray and red earth. Riders feel the machine breathe beneath them while the coast and interior alternate in a rapid, kinetic postcard — surf at one turn, cattle and coffee plots the next.
