The morning air in eastern Dominican Republic feels like a promise: humid, fragrant with sugar cane, and edged by salt from the distant Caribbean. On the Safari Supreme, a reinforced open-sided safari truck pulls out of Punta Cana toward Higuey’s low hills, coffee and cacao plots, and a private ranch where the day stretches across river pools, horseback trails and a final run to Macao Beach.
