A roar of engines replaces the resort hush as guests climb into a dune buggy, ATV, or Polaris and roll away from Excellence Punta Cana toward sun-baked fields and crashing surf. The route threads Dominican hinterland: dusty tracks that flatten into the wide sweep of Macao Beach, shady passes past coconut palms, and a hush at a Taino-era cenote where clear spring water invites a cool dip.
