Dust lifts off the trail as twin wheels chew through sun-baked sand and mango scrub — the buggy rattles forward, Punta Cana receding into a horizon of palms and reef-broken blue. The tour moves fast but carefully: a handful of off-road miles delivers you to Macao Beach, where surf dares swimmers and the shore opens wide for a quick, refreshing dip.
