About

Embark on an unforgettable journey through the heart of the Dominican countryside, where lush landscapes and thrilling adventures await on our exclusive 4 x 4 Quad bike excursion. Departing from the vibrant hotel zone of Punta Cana, prepare to be swept away by the raw beauty of nature as you traverse private trails with breathtaking panoramic views.

Begin your immersive experience by delving into the pristine waters of a secluded stream, a tranquil oasis where you'll discover the secrets of one of the island's oldest and most revered treasures, the majestic LA CIEBA tree. Learn about its significance to the indigenous Taino Indians, who once worshipped beneath its towering branches.

Continue your journey deeper into the countryside, where a traditional Dominican country house awaits to welcome you with open arms. Immerse yourself in the vibrant tapestry of local culture as you partake in a hands-on cooking experience, savoring the flavors of authentic country dishes, freshly brewed coffee, and hot organic chocolate.

But the adventure doesn't end there. Follow the winding path to the edge of a crystalline Caribbean river, where a hidden tropical oasis beckons with its inviting embrace. Take a refreshing dip in the cool, clear waters, surrounded by the lush foliage of the jungle.

Afterwards, retreat to the comfort of our rustic ranch, where you can unwind by the poolside, basking in the warm Caribbean sun and indulging in delicious snacks. Reflect on the day's adventures as you savor the memories created in this idyllic sanctuary, where nature's wonders and adrenaline-fueled excitement converge to create an experience like no other.
