Drive a 700cc buggy across Macao’s coastal scrub, swim by moonlight in a private cenote, then feast and dance to Taíno music at a ranch dinner. This four-hour evening tour mixes off-road thrills with hands-on cultural moments and local flavors.

The buggy's engine rumbles to life as the sun dips low over Macao’s scrub and palms, and the ranch lights carve a path through warm Dominican night. You’ll feel the tires bite into sand and loose earth, the buggy answering like a willing animal as you drive toward a forested corridor that opens onto the private cenote.

Wear closed-toe shoes
Trails are sandy and rocky—sturdy footwear prevents stubbed toes and improves control in the buggy.
Bring a change of clothes
You’ll likely get dusty or wet (cenote swim); a dry set for the ride back is more comfortable.
Hydrate before departure
Tropical humidity and an active evening make pre-trip hydration important—carry water if you’re sensitive to heat.
Protect your phone and camera
Use a dry bag or ziplock—sand and splash from the cenote can damage gear during the ride and swim.
Closed-toe hiking or trail shoes
Protects feet on sandy, rocky trails and gives better pedal control in the buggy.
Long pants
Shields legs from brush and flying debris during off-road sections.
Swimwear and quick-dry towel
Needed for the cenote swim and dries quickly for the return ride.
Waterproof phone case or dry bag
Keeps electronics safe from sand, splash and sweat during the ride and cenote visit.
