Race through Samana’s backcountry in a buggy, visit a local ranch to see how coffee and cocoa are processed, and cool off on Playa Rincón’s white sand. This four-hour combo packs rural vistas, hands-on culture and a beach finish into a single half-day tour.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The engine's polite roar becomes your pulse as the buggy noses out of town and onto dusty country lanes, palms brushing a blue sky. You drive through small farms and past corrugated roofs, the air carrying roasted coffee and green cocoa pods. By the time the Atlantic opens to the right, Playa Rincón's white sand and the cool ribbon of Caño Frío come into view—an abrupt, welcome contrast to the warm, rutted trails.

Hydrate before and during the ride
Heat and dust on dirt trails dehydrate quickly—carry at least 1–2 liters of water and sip regularly.
Protect against the sun
Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses—shade is limited on open buggy stretches.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Trails can be uneven and dusty; closed shoes protect feet on the buggy and during short hikes to viewpoints.

Bring a small dry bag or waterproof case for phones and cameras—sand and splashes at Caño Frío are common.
