A rumble of engines and the scent of dry earth greet visitors at the Macao Buggy Ranch, where buggies kick up red dust and the coastline sits a short ride away. The tour opens with an off-road loop through Macao’s scrub and farmland, the buggy’s suspension negotiating rutted tracks and shallow puddles while palms and sea breezes frame the horizon.
