The engine growls, dunes blur into palms and the Atlantic glints through a spray of dust — that’s the opening note on a 2–3 hour buggy and Polaris run out of Punta Cana. Drivers guide crews thread narrow dirt tracks, push across farmland and swing toward an open beach where the ocean dares you to kick off your shoes. Along the way, passengers stop for coffee and cocoa tastings at small plantations and peer into a secret freshwater lagoon inside Taina Macao Cave.
